Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our project managers use Basecamp to manage communication, deliverables and track projects we are working on for our clients. It allows us to have all the project communication in one place that is easily accessible to everyone on the project. We can also have internal discussions that are private from the client in the project.

Pros and Cons

Keeps all project communication in one place.
Trace project milestones and deliverables.

It's not the most powerful or comprehensive solution, but it does great at what it specializes in.

Return on Investment

Helps us be more organized in our projects and be able to find communication

Alternatives Considered

Trello

We actually use both Trello and Basecamp. Basecamp is best for tracking project communication, while Trello is great for tracking project work and cards. We tend to use Trello internally to track our projects, and use Basecamp for project communication with our clients.

Other Software Used

Salesforce Community Cloud, Cirrus Insight, Trello

Likelihood to Recommend

A project where there are multiple individuals involved with and there is a need to keep project communication in one place for everyone to have access to. If you are just working one-to-one then it may not be necessary, though having a historical record of the project is very valuable.

Basecamp - Keep your project communication in one place.
