Basecamp

What is Basecamp?

All growing companies face the same fundamental problems. Stress, lots of e-mails, things everywhere. For your good news, Basecamp solves all this.

The problems faced by teams often boil down to things scattered in many places – emails, conversations, Word documents, etc. This makes things easy to miss and hard to find, which leads to communication failures, preventable emergencies and extra work.

Single-purpose project management and chat apps can't solve this problem – they can only get worse. Basecamp is different. It combines all the tools teams need into a single, direct package that makes the job look less laborious.

Here's how Basecamp works:

Increases accountability

• Simply assign a task to someone and optionally add an expiration date and any other details needed
• Recipients are notified of new tasks, and Basecamp takes care of any due date reminders
• See tasks from all projects together on one screen to easily see where things are

Communicate efficiently

• Conversations are organized within each project, with answers below. No more re: re: re:
• All your notifications are placed in one place. There is no 5-app check to track everything
• Check-in questions give staff a way to provide status updates without attending meetings

Keep everyone on the circuit

• With all the tools teams need in a centralized location, it's hard to miss something important
• Check-ins like "what did you work today?". Keep everyone aware of what's going on
• Every project shows an activity schedule. See what happened and speed up quickly

Message boards

Keep all the conversation about a specific topic on a single page. No more email research or attempting to reassemble a story from a series of fragmented responses

Timetables

All projects in Basecamp include a schedule that displays any date-to-dos and events for that project. Everyone in the project can see, so everyone knows what's coming

Storing documents and files

Every project includes a space for sharing documents, files, and images. As long as everyone in the project has access, people will know exactly where to find everything
