"Fun and Intuitive Project Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp makes it so easy to manage projects. You can keep track of all conversations about each project, including each individual to-do. The interface is intuitive and they let you invite everyone from your team without charging you extra. You can even add people as "clients" if they're outside your organization to share related projects with them. You can even give "boosts" to people's posts, which is great for when you're busy and want to shoot a quick "Thanks" or emoji. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

While you can export your assignments to your Google Calendar (absolutely wonderful feature), it's hard to see everyone's schedule on one calendar. Instead, you just see your own to-dos. A previous version of Basecamp had a way better calendar view that made it easy to see everything on your team's plate at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basecamp:

Make sure you have a plan going in about how your team is going to use Basecamp. There are lots of areas in Basecamp to comment and chat, which sometimes leads to conversations happening in different threads. Different people tend to use it differently. Make sure you coach your team on the ways you'll be using it so everyone is doing the same thing and conversations don't get lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're keeping projects organized and assigning work in Basecamp. It helps everyone stay on the same page and has helped prevent tasks from falling off our radar. It also makes it so easy to remove blockers because you can see where the hold up is and what to do to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
