Basecamp - Project Management

About this app

The refreshingly simple, and remarkably effective, project management platform.

Managing people and projects under pressure is tough enough. Unfortunately, lots of software makes it worse by over-complicating things. Basecamp’s different.

What makes Basecamp special?

It’s dialed in. For nearly two decades, we’ve continually refined a unique set of tools and methods to fundamentally reduce complexity, and make project management more of a joy and less of a chore. Perfected and pressure-tested by hundreds of thousands of teams on millions of projects, Basecamp’s the gold standard for a simpler, superior version of project management.

Basecamp works because it’s the easiest place for everyone in every role to put the stuff, work on the stuff, discuss the stuff, decide on the stuff, and deliver the stuff that makes up every project. Not on separate platforms scattered in various places, but all intuitively organized in one centralized place where everyone can work together.

Basecamp’s intentionally simple by design. It’s why teams that sometimes leave in search of “more power” end up slamming into the consequences of over-powered software: Complexity. Complexity doesn’t work. Basecamp does. It’s why those that leave end up coming back and sticking with us the second time around. You never know what you had until it’s gone.

Ratings and reviews

Basecamp is easily the most impressive work productivity platform I've come across. It combines the important aspects of many other work products into one, and I strongly suspect that Basecamp will result in less time wasted and more time spent getting things done. My only criticism is that there should be a cheaper paid account. Small companies shouldn't be paying the same as big companies. Why not a $20 option for increasing the project count to 10 or 20? Basecamp throwing away money imo...

the app refuses to show me every project I've been invited to under the line up. it only displays one at a time so each time I have to re click the invite. and I don't see a way to manually find a teacher, class, or project if the invite doesn't work.

Fantastic program (I'm new to it now but it sure seems devoted and sincere!) that I'm working through with a group from a Church that I believe everyone should give a try. At the very least, you should gain some spiritual insight into your troubles that may be bothering you in your mind...
