Basecamp is the ultimate in project management: Project templates, mobile apps, communication, file sharing, scheduling and amazingly easy-to-use.
Communication and organization is essential to the success of any project, and Basecamp gives you that edge. That may be why Basecamp is recommended by 98% of its customers.
One of those customers is Collision Media, and they recently shared five insightful reason why Basecamp is their “Best Friend”.
We use Basecamp at Collision Media internally to organize every project and to collaborate with our team and our clients. It’s invaluable to how Collision runs its business, and I think it could be a game-changing tool for any ministry or non-profit (or any other organization). There are other project management tools out there, but we use Basecamp because of its proven record.
Here are five reasons Collision Media uses Basecamp:
1. Everything in One Place
Like it says. Everything is in one spot. As great as email can be, communication can become disjointed.
Each team member is given their own login and password and has easy access to files, notes, and messages for any project at any time.
Basecamp keeps your project together.
2. Collaboration is Key
Want to send a message to a team member, simple. Basecamp takes it one step further, and it’s called Writeboard:
The Writeboard is essentially a minimalist word processor that allows multiple team members to edit. It also keeps track of who edits and when they edit.
This is smooth. Really smooth.
3. Lists
They’ve got’em.
Each task can be assignable to a team member, and each task can be given a due date.
If you haven’t noticed, Basecamp gives even the simplest feature an unique edge.
4. Sharing Files
Sharing files and keeping files up to date is a feature of Basecamp that pays for itself.
5. All on the Same Page
Basecamp keeps your team on the same page without being locked into how you organize your project.
Basecamp gives you multiple ways to analyze progress on a project with the use of calendars, milestones, and time tracking.
Staying on-top of projects has never been easier.
Collision Media gets things done with Basecamp!
With over 5 million people using Basecamp to collaborate on over 4 million projects, Basecamp is worth a look!
