Increase accountability.
“We can see exactly what needs to be done and when. We were missing tasks and deadlines before we found Basecamp. We're much more efficient now.”
-Tina Lannin, 121 Captions

Simply assign a task to someone, and optionally add a due date and any other necessary details.

Assignees are notified about new tasks, and Basecamp takes care of any due date reminders.

View tasks from every project together on one screen to easily see where things stand.
Communicate efficiently.
“Communication around tasks or quickly sharing new ideas that may alter the project is much easier, more transparent, and faster. The commenting sections and campfire make it easy to do this.”
-Bruce Wang, MICROJIG

Conversations are organized within each project, with replies below. No more re:re:re:re hell.

All your notifications are rolled up into a single place. No checking 5 apps to keep up with everything.

Check-in questions give the team a way to provide status updates without sitting through meetings.
Keep everyone in the loop.
“Having a single location for messages, files, to-dos and timeline has kept everyone on the same page.”
-Kimberly Benefield, Autotrader

With all the tools teams need in one centralized place, it’s hard to miss something important.

Check-ins like “what did you work on today?” keep everyone aware of what’s going on.

Every project shows a timeline of activity. See what happened and get up to speed quick.
