Lack of project management will kill your project, but it doesn't need to be expensive. I've managed 10 man year projects to successful delivery with only Excel, Basecamp and Bugzilla - just use these tools to focus on assessing actual progress and managing the scope accordingly (first tip, if you are behind target, cut features, don't cut testing or planning, second tip, spot slippage & cut features as early as possible to get the most benefit). Cutting features, where necessary, relies on understanding your client and persuading them they can live without something or accept an easier alternative, so you also need to develop a good relationship with your client. Nowadays I still use Excel and Bugzilla in my own company, which ironically produces time tracking software (Qlockwork). Unsurprisingly, I would also recommend that ;-) I’ve managed web developments (as well as non-Web). Lack of project management will kill your project, but it doesn’t need to be expensive.
