Basecamp Reviews

Main features of Basecamp

Basecamp is a web-based application that enables you to set up a page for a project, and then add users to it so everyone can see what their responsibilities are. You use Basecamp to document everything that happens in a project from beginning to end. It comes with a calendar system that notifies people by email when you add events, and you can attach files to each event. Basecamp lets you create to-do lists and assign tasks to different people. It includes a Daily Recap progress report feature that reviews all actions from the previous day and sends them to your inbox so you can quickly get caught up on the project’s status. It has reporting and time tracking tools to help a manager easily keep on top of a project.
