Overall Satisfaction with Basecamp
Basecamp was used to manage projects by teams. We were able to solve the problem of not having a central server to store documents on, by collecting notes, documents and design files in one accessible location.
- Very simple to upload notes and documents.
- The whole interface is very easy to pick up.
- Managing multiple projects at one time was easy with dashboard view.
- The calendar could be more robust. I'd like to be able to see what a specific user is doing across multiple projects.
- Increased team member participation. The interface is easy enough to pick up quickly so my team members adopted it quickly.
Basecamp is great for simple projects. I think it is as useful as Banana Scrum, but with a better UI. I have also used Rally and Jira for managing larger technical projects. The additional level of detail in these programs is more appropriate for larger development projects.
