"We have this big thing about embracing constraints. When you have constraints -- less time, less money -- people care about every dollar they spend”
-Jason Fried, Founder of 37Signals creator of Basecamp
What is Basecamp?
Basecamp is a simple-to- use web-based tool for managing and collaborating on projects.
Basecamp is an example of a new wave of Internet applications that promote collaboration through effective interface design, leveraging cost effective online digital storage space and the functionality broadband networks are able to deliver.
Why is Basecamp useful?
-It is a simple and clever way to manage the sharing of information regarding a project across multiple locations and team members
-It consolidates all project information into one accessible location online
-It’s free if you require only limited functionality, but there is a monthly fee if you want to be able to upload files.
What are Basecamp’s drawbacks?
-It requires members of your project team to learn how to use a web based utility and track a username and password
-It requires members of your project team to modify their existing workflow processes
-It requires a minimum level of technical ability for all team members
