Using Scrintal to Organize a Complex Project

I recently signed up for a blog tour. What makes this unusual is that the tour is for two of my non-fiction books, instead of the single book that most tours cover. The two books are Creating Stories and Self-publish A Book In 10 Steps. The blog tour consists of reviews for the books and blog posts (articles really) that I would write. The blog tour company is https://www.ireadbooktours.com/ and specializes in getting book reviews.
A two-book tour means that a lot of blogger websites will be involved on each day of the tour which goes on for two weeks. It became apparent to me that I needed a way to organize and track all the websites involved as well as my responsibilities. These chores included visiting the websites on the appropriate day and writing articles for a number of the sites.
My go-to app for a situation like this is Scrintal. Its most attractive feature to me is that it provides me with a blank screen. There is no pre-assigned junk to delete. I just start adding whatever I need where ever I want it to be. In this case, I designed a template to hold all the data I’d need.

The next step was to load the template up with data on the blog tour dates, websites and what I was required to do at each site.

Data stuffing took a bit of time as you can imagine and the final board looked like the graphic above except the columns extended down a lot further. Another feature of Scrintal is the cards. A new card is as blank as the opening screen. You fill it up with whatever data or details are appropriate.
This is what a review card looks like. Some of the information can’t be filled in until the review appears on the website.

Another set of cards (the green column) detailed the articles I had to come up with. A typical card in this column looks like this.

The completed project board is located here https://beta.scrintal.com/b/blog-tour-organization–dtag0

It has a total of 33 cards in it.

So what app do you use to organize your complex projects?
