Project Management is all about communication.

Projects go well when people talk to each other, discuss issues openly, and communicate clearly. Basecamp is focused on making this easy.

No more messy email threads. Post messages to Basecamp instead.

Instead of scattering emails all over the place, use Basecamp message boards to keep all the discussions about a project in one centralized location. You can even specify who can see which messages.

It’s easy to respond to any message.

Basecamp encourages team and client discussion. You can easily add your two cents to any message.

Comment on just about anything.

You can even leave comments on to-dos and milestones too. This makes it easy for you to clear up any questions your client or team might have. And since they’re all stored in Basecamp, everyone knows where to go for the latest information.

Basecamp is best friends with email.

Basecamp can notify other people on your team via email whenever anyone posts a new message or comment. You can even subscribe to a Daily Digest email for your project which gives a nicely formatted report of what happened the day before.

Easily share files, documents, images, and designs with your clients or team.

You can even attach files or pictures to messages, comments, milestones, and to-dos.

All your project files in one place.

Basecamp supports all popular file formats including Microsoft Word, Excel, Photoshop, PDFs, PNGs, you name it. You can upload and share any kind of file with Basecamp. Basecamp can even send an email notification to other people on the project when a new file has been uploaded.

Automatic image previews.

When someone uploads an image (PNG, JPG, GIF), Basecamp will automatically generate a preview so you can see what the image looks like without having to download it first. It’s super convenient.

Basecamp keeps track of every version of every file.

When you upload a new version of a file, Basecamp can keep a copy of the old version around for safe keeping. This makes it easy to go back and see what changed and who changed it.

Assign responsibility, set deadlines, get things done on time the first time.

Schedule project events.

Keep track of what’s due, when it’s due, and who’s responsible for getting it done. The calendar is great for scheduling project phases, due dates, and deliverables. See everything that’s coming up on your calendar. Works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Backpack, .Mac, and iCal.

Track every hour you spend.

Know exactly how much time you've spent on a task or an entire project. You can filter time reports by team member. You can also export time reports to Excel for further study. Note: Time tracking is only available on Plus-level accounts and higher.

Work on the same kind of project over and over?

Project templates let you set up common to-do lists, milestones, and messages ahead of time. They’ll save you hours.

Templates jump start your project.

Instead of creating new projects from scratch every time, use Basecamp project templates to set up standardized projects ahead of time. Add to-dos, milestones, and messages to a template. Then you can base a new project on a template and save yourself a ton of data entry.

Start working on to-dos right away.

You can also set up templates for only your to-do lists. You might have one for “Programming tasks” or “QA checklist”. Each time you start a new project your standardized to-do lists are ready so you and your team can get working right away.
