I recently switched from Dish to DirecTV, and the install will be done in about a week. I was wondering if DirecTV has something similar to Dish where you can use a sling adapter to view programming online or on your phone. Do they have a feature like this built into any of their receivers or would I need to get a slingbox?

You would need a slingbox. I use one and it works great.
You can also use Directv2PC to watch programs off of your DVR on a computer on your network.

Does it also work for scheduling shows and managing your DVR? I know you can do that through DirecTV, but I'd like to be able to do it all in one place.
I assume you mean sling?
Pretty much anything you can do with your box at home you can do through sling (although I have not tried scheduling shows with it, for that I use my Directv app from the android market, and available with other OS as well)
