I’m outlining rooves block by block. It takes so long but I don’t want my maps to be barebones.
In terms of keeping track of which areas you have done and which you haven’t I think SimpleTaskManager is really good for single person projects. Divide and Map Now looks like it should be good for more collaborative stuff but I haven’t tried it in a while.

Building tools is quick enough that if I’m fixing an area that’s been mapped wonky it’s often a lot quicker to re-trace the skewed buildings in a fresh layer and use the Conflate plugin to merge them back into the main layer than it is to fix the geometry directly (and that include individual checks).
