Keep everyone in the loop without all the meetings.Īn essential part of every project is keeping people informed so that nothing falls through the cracks and everyone knows what to do. By centralizing your notifications, Basecamp makes it easy to keep on top of things and minimize interruptions. How it’s better: a constant barrage of notifications from a half dozen apps steals your attention and lets work intrude on personal time. Want to keep work at work? Set your work hours to hold notifications until you’re back on the clock. Need to focus? Pause notifications with a click and stay in the zone. notifications pop up in Basecamp’s Hey! menu (or email, if you like).

When people post messages in the projects you’re on, assign you tasks, etc. Basecamp eliminates all of those issues by combining everything you need in one place. Things slip through the cracks, it’s hard to see the big picture, it’s expensive, onboarding your team is a pain, etc.

How it’s better: spreading work across a bunch of apps is inefficient at best total chaos at worst. You can rename them, turn off the ones you don’t need, or integrate with third-party tools like time trackers to tailor things to the project at hand. Go FROM “Didn’t we already meet about this?” TO more time for productive work.Įvery project includes the tools all teams need to work together message boards, to-dos, schedules, docs, file storage, real-time group chat, and automatic check-in questions. Automatic Check-ins let you ask your team questions on a regular basis, with all the replies rolled up in one easy-to-digest thread.
