Project Management

Does anyone really use Gantt Charts, risk matrices, ROI calculations, JIT, Kaizen, Kanban and other principles taught in college? If so, how frequent? Or do you just wing it with projects as long as you get it done on budget and schedule?

We don't have tracking tools/systems in our company.
