Product Details

What is Basecamp?

Basecamp is a web-based project-management tool developed by 37signals in Chicago and launched in 2004. The Ruby on Rails framework was extracted from the Basecamp project.

Basecamp offers features standard to project management platforms, including to-do lists, wiki-style web-based text documents, milestone management, file sharing, time tracking and a calendar, and a messaging system. Mobile accessibility is supported. Notably, it supports unlimited users. It also offers integration with 37signals' own Campfire product, which expands the group messaging functionality of the core platform. Customization, accessibility, and functionality are extended further by the broad range of apps available for free from 3rd parties. A 2-month free trial is available. Pricing is dependent upon space requirements and the number of concurrent projects, not the number of users.

We are working on a international conference - where the planners and the attendees are from around the world. Basecamp lets us all have access to the necessary documents.

We use Basecamp for all of our daily communication. We also use it for file sharing and organization. It keeps all of our projects easy to find and we can set deadlines and estimates. It also works seamlessly with our timekeeping platform so it's super easy to track our hours.

As a graphic design agency, we use Basecamp to keep track of the work we do for clients and share progress with each other. This allows us to communicate with each other so we can collaborate on projects. We assign jobs to each other for each project and are able to make sure we get everything done in a timely fashion. We use all parts of Basecamp to complete our design agency work remotely.

Basecamp is a project management software we used for a short time to help collaborations and organizing projects. In my experience, the software was hard to use, not intuitive, was hard to use and confusing for clients, and what finally did it for me was the lack of notifications. It literally did not notify me, teammates, or the client multiple occasions. Finally I said enough - I said this software is costing me clients and money far beyond its value, and stressing all parties out just by using it. I do NOT recommend Basecamp.
