Tracking Progress: are there any tools for this?

I'm writing something that has a lot of sections. Maybe 100 separate sections in a single document. What are some ways of tracking progress so that I know which sections are done, which are in progress and which are still untouched? And maybe even a way to make notes on what needs to be done to make a section complete (e.g. screenshots or research).

I've thought of changing the font colors to represent the different phases, but that seems crude, and would probably get distracting as I'm scrolling around.

What are some methods/tools that you'd suggest?

Kind of low-tech, but I think I'd just create a separate document, formatted as a table, with a column identifying the sections, a column for progress notes, and a column for comments.
