What is Basecamp?

The founders of Basecamp wrote the book on remote work ("remote"). Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson started the company back in 1999, which makes them one of the most established players in the project management software industry.

Often outspoken the two entrepreneurs have made a name for themselves over the last two decades, often speaking out against silicon valley and the trend towards startups that focus more on exiting with millions than servicing their customers.

Their business operates without offices in over 30 countries around the world and is a pioneer in the work from home (remote work) revolution.

If you're looking for a business that values its customers and has hands-on owners who care about their product and business passionately, then we think you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone better.

Their software is very much of the 80/20 school of thought. It services 80% of the market with the core 20% of the features they really need. You won't find any fancy gannt charts here or management dashboards. Basecamp does offer a set of well tested tools that are incredibly competitively priced. Combine that with a full 30-day free trial, and you can't really go wrong.

Since we started using Basecamp, our project intake process has become much more organized and it's way easier to see what everyone has on their plate. It's also helped us get approval from key stakeholders since everyone at every step of every project has to-dos assigned to them. I also love the integrations. We sync with Everhour so we can keep track of exactly how long it takes to complete each step of each project, which has helped us become more efficient and also see where we're spending our time.

I love how intuitive Basecamp is to use and how easy it is to keep track of upcoming projects and set priorities. I'm new to project management and it's been so easy to set up every project and teach new employees how to navigate the system. You can set different projects for different teams and even invite clients to view projects. Plus, you don't have a limited number of seats so everyone in our organization can access it without us needing to purchase anything additional.

There are too many places to communicate within Basecamp so it's important that you have a clear process. You can comment on an overall project thread, a group and in each individual to-do so sometimes it's hard to tell where a comment is located. However, it does show you which to-dos have comments within them and there are easy-access notifications at the top of your screen at all times so as long as comments are recent, they're easy to find.
