I'll second this suggestion, but I want to add one more thing. I suggest also writing a number 0-9 at the beginning of each line in said TODO.txt that represents some degree of priority, whatever that might mean for your project.

If you do that, you're consequently allowed use of, e.g., `sort TODO.txt | head` to figure out what to work on for the week. In addition, you can add in a regular review cycle to re-evaluate priorities, and that's all then kept in version control with the rest of the project.

It also happens to tick the capital-A Agile checkboxes, and when you grow past the point where you have strictly hackers on your team, the lift to move to another, more manager-friendly project management tool isn't nearly as arduous.
