Best Task Calendar yet :)
What do you like best? What I like best with Basecamp is that it schedules our task with ease. There are color indicators for each team and highlights the days the task will render. You can also tag people included in the project. Attachment of task files is a plus. Your teammates can see the progress with each tasks assigned to your team. What do you dislike? In some ways, even it has indicators, Basecamp is kind of cluttered. The calendar looks too jammed, and labels are too small to ...

Basecamp for project management
What do you like best? I like that Basecamp has text documents you can type in that look like legal pads. I also like you can 'star' your favorite or most used projects to have them be at the top. What do you dislike? You can't edit a document if someone else hasn't exited out of it. You can't color coordinate on the calendar aspect. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Project management for many projects and a mid-sized team. ...

Love basecamp because it keeps everyone on our team aligned and shows what we're working on.
What do you like best? I like being able to put things in people's camps and know what everyone is working on. I also like being able to show people what i'm working on and gather input from integral team members. What do you dislike? The notifications that do not have anything to do with what I'm working on like "Read any good books lately?" I also wish there was a different notification for certain people. Recommendations to others considering the product It's a great project ...

The ability to keep track of your own projects in doc/files and on to-do lists, but also to be able to collaborate and work through projects as a team. What do you dislike? I think it's annoying that there are some features you can't opt out of the notifications for Recommendations to others considering the product Look into the features and make sure they will work for you! Basecamp is very transparent and the way ...

Good functionality. Limited platform access.
What do you like best? The ability to see all files, discussion threads etc for one project. Getting into the system is easy (if you are using the right platform. From there you can click on the project you want to view. You can then see all recent discussions and files. You can add to discussions easily and upload new or updated files. You can also add to discussions directly from the email alert received in your inbox. What do you dislike? Can't access properly from Apple iOS. I use ...

Need help organizing projects and clients? Try BaseCamp!
What do you like best? I really like that it sends emails to the person assigned AND reminders! I also like that you can make certain things client readable/hidden! I also really like the feature that allows us to change who is responsible for what in terms of the ToDo lists - for instance, if I finish my portion of the project, I can reassign the ToDo to another person. When theyʻre done, it can either be completed (and we all get notified OR reassigned again to make sure weʻre all on ...
