Your Basecamp project has all kinds of activity.
Things are being added, discussed,
checked off, and chatted about.
But how is that project really going?
It can be hard to tell
how things stand overall from project updates alone
with Move the Needle, you can see at a glance
how far along a project is, if it’s on track,
slightly at risk, or if a red flag has been raised.
Click Move the Needle and slide it to a new position to show
how the project is progressing.
Assign the needle a color for how you think it’s going,
and add notes to share important details.
Moving the Needle is intentionally manual
and helps your team communicate
where they feel things stand overall
as the project reaches completion.
From the top
of the project, you can quickly see if the project is
progressing as planned, is somehow stalled,
or if it’s really in trouble. Curious how things stand
with multiple projects?
Head to the Activity link
and hit Mission Control to see a big picture view
of all your projects, organized in one place.
Those marked red for concerned, or yellow for at risk.
say at the top, so those troubled projects
stay front and center.
With just one click, you’ll see a full report
with each change to the needle position, color,
and corresponding notes all on one page.
Move the Needle and Mission Control give you insight into
how your projects are going without having
to piece together the details.
