![]() Every member of my team is more accountable than we were before Basecamp. Instead of drowning in an endless chain of emails, there is clear, and easy accountability meaning tasks actually get done! –Roxanne Emery, LATE Nation & Gareth Emery I no longer have to wonder whether I’ve asked for something to be done or whether it has in fact been done. –Patrick Sheffield, Moore Communications Group Execution of projects. Simply put, we get more work done, quicker, and better. There was too many emails and attachments with different versions of projects. –Mathieu Robillard, Bishop Games It felt like I had a million balls juggling… not sure which one would drop, but very aware that it would. Trying to figure out what was missing by scrolling an infinite chat room was a fun way to reinvent the treasure hunt, but not a so nice way to manage a project. Every week we completed a ton of tasks, but in the end, the project still felt incomplete. –Lee Hatwell, Munday & Cramer It was just task after task in Jira. Endless deadlines missed or client expectations let down due to simple logistical hinderance. –Jennifer Hawks, ProHealth Physicians Endless creation and updating of lists, endless beating up already busy staff to keep lists up to date. When dealing with design projects for over 90 practice sites it was like getting lost in a giant corn maze. As hard as we tried to stay organized we had a hard time managing our projects and work flow. My boss would ask me a question about a past project and I would struggle to hunt down my notes regarding it (because they were all in email). I would lose track of deadlines left and right and they would creep up on me at the last minute. –Sean Biehle, MedData Stressful, impossible, difficult, overwhelming. Honestly, it has way too much stuff going on. –Wanda Whipkey, World Elite Asana did not have very good analytics and, despite being designed by a few former Facebook employees, was not very user-friendly. Every team member was working alone during catch up meetings that became very clear. Of course, not having any idea what may be coming next. –Amber Hinds, Road Warrior Creative Before basecamp it felt like sitting in a wind tunnel with projects, emails, and questions flying at you. –Christy Benny, NBT Bank We had a hard time keeping clients on track with their to-do items - projects frequently fell behind both because of missed communication but also because there wasn’t anything reminding clients of their responsibilities and the tasks they had to complete. It was difficult to understand and flow when conducting or even being part of a project. –Jarrad Markel, Mastermind Media and Consulting Group Inundated with emails - easy to lose track as people would contact via various mediums and conversations can get lost in the back and fourth –G Davies, The Breakfast Club My company used Trello before a department switched over to Basecamp. Tracking down communications and documenting tasks was nearly impossible. –Adam Faust, 5+8 There were a lot of holes in our communication which led to projects being lost in the shuffle and/or not done on time. I couldn’t get a true handle on anything. –James Hart, For the City Network I felt like I was floating in space. Once we tried to implement a project management system (SCRUM) on top of the tools my team was about ready to slam their monitors against the post-it note covered whiteboard. WAY too many tools that led to more balls getting dropped that work actually getting done. –Aleksandra Sasin, Navigatus It was a disorganized mess with a splash of chaotic disaster. I was forever worried things were slipping and not getting done. I was constantly making new lists, losing old ones, crossing off items and adding new ones. –Andy Croll, CoverageBook I felt disorganized. Slack made both me and my laptop cry with how it took over my working life.
