It really becomes important to keep track of all projects, when you are responsible for multiple projects. You know teams are doing great they are capable of doing what is required though being a leader you need to make sure things are in right direction.

How frequently you keep reviewing the items in different projects and how early you want to review before it slips.

Created some basic rules should be useful for everyone.

a. Always create a reminder list for each milestone and set two reminders one is before the n days and another 1 day before. Before n days to give enough time to review.

b. Use tools to set tasks and reminders for yourself and your team. Create one distribution list of Email address that goes to everyone in team.

c. Always keep two sets of task list for yourself 1. Regular, when you review each project on a fixed duration. 2. When you review critical items on demand.

d. Apart from your deliverables, you need to plan for Performance Reviews, Training of resources, holidays and your own activities. Set a frequency to review such items once in a month and don't forget to add a reminder.

Use whatever tools you like and are more comfortable using it but the use is most you cannot remember everything.

Hopefully reviewing plans constantly reduce the need for reminders. The plans are the reminder.
