At the time, I thought this was the best thing since sliced bread - that was until I did some further research and realised that many dedicated Basecamp HQ users, were switching to something equally easy to use and maintain, but with more features and a smaller cost - Teamwork PM (http://www.teamworkpm.net/). Having now used both project management tools, the latter for the past 3 months, I can see why people were switching. I strongly recommend trialling out Teamwork PM before handing over your hard earned cash to Basecamp HQ.

We're running 30+ projects and it would be great to see them all at a glance and to find a way to avoid overlapping/over committing resources. @Nancy: gantt charting would be useful.

But I think a lot of the credit goes to the project managers in the how well organized and process-oriented they are. I'm building a Basecamp extension for Offline access. I'm curious to know, from a web designer perspective, if there's something that Basecamp falls short in. Thanks. I like your process, and I agree Basecamp is great tool.

We signed up for Basecamp a while ago, and while we like it we've had trouble with work flow. This HELPS a ton! Seriously the one weakness in Basecamp/Highrise/Etc...is the lack of model work flows, to help people generate ideas! Thanks for the great post! Thanks a ton for this.
