Easiest to use project management tool that I've encountered

What do you like best? I love Basecamp because it doesn't try to do everything. It does a few basic things extremely well. I love that project artifacts can be tagged, assigned tasks with due dates, and tied to team communication. What do you dislike? It can be a little difficult to track events and files that happened early on in the project. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I used Basecamp to solve the issue of too much ...

Five stars for everything you need, nothing you don't

What do you like best? I like a lightweight tool, few bells and whistles - just the basics. And this is basic with all of the connectivity necessary for succinct project planning in a small group setting. What do you dislike? I'm sure I could think of little UI quirks that could create a better experience for me, but at the moment I'm feeling like a total fan. Not one fresh piece of constructive criticism comes to mind. Recommendations to others considering the product Start here. ...

Basecamp: Help Manage your project work

What do you like best? Allows you to create boards by project and manage the history of the project in meaningful way amongst numerous collaborators. You can set different preferences for different boards. It allows for file uploads, discussion boards, user management, etc. What do you dislike? I think a consolidated report of all the events in a given day rather than individual emails when someone triggers an update would be easier to manage. Recommendations to others considering the ...

Basecamp keeps me and my teams organized and on track!

What do you like best? It's SO easy to use, and I love that the BC team is always working on improvements to the functionality. What do you dislike? I wish we could delete documents once they're no longer needed. Recommendations to others considering the product If you're looking for a project management system, Basecamp is by FAR the easiest to learn and implement. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Our team is spread out ...

The name says it all: It is basic

What do you like best? Cannot be beaten for the price! I use it a lot and got my entire team and colleagues to use it too. Integration with email is great. It is intuitive and simple. Clean interface and iphone app is good too. What do you dislike? I wish it could produce more varied reporting, such as tasks per person or progress bars for each task. It is hard to have a complete view of the project. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

Good... Not great

What do you like best? While base amp has many useful features and great tools for team collaboration I found it to be more cumbersome than some of the other tools I have used like Work Etc. What do you dislike? It is quite cumbersome at times. It will allow for some things but not others. I found it difficult to constantly re upload now version of my documents instead of being able to make notes on them easily in the application. Recommendations to others considering the product ...

My favourite project management tool

What do you like best? Basecamp is a really easy to use collaboration tool for small projects. Users immediately understand how to use it, and the simple user-interface actually results in more collaboration / user-activities than other project management tool I have used. It therefore gives you an instant overview of project activities and progress. What do you dislike? It's happens that I miss a specific feature, but it is far more important for me that Basecamp holds on to it ...

Fabulous project management software for next to nothing

What do you like best? Basecamp provides an easy collaboration space for projects. Creating templates for projects with predefined definitions makes running a project a breeze. Assigning ownership and viewing a shared calendar of due dates helps keep everything on track. What do you dislike? They do one thing, project management. They do it well, but they are extremely limited in scope. Recommendations to others considering the product Keep in mind the small scope of the product. ...
