  • It takes seconds to kick off a new project in Basecamp. And only about a minute to set up a more advanced one.
    Yesterday someone asked how long it takes to set up a project like I demoed in this other video: • Basecamp: How we run P...
    Great question! So in this video, I walk through the process of starting a new project and setting one up with multiple tools, renaming tools, establishing some basic structure, and then inviting people.
    Hope you find it useful. Have any other questions? Post 'em below!

    I love that you pulled together this walkthrough from the comments yesterday and responded with another video so quickly. Well done sir.
    Excited to get hands on card table🎉

    Thank you very much, this was a great walkthrough. I was very impressed with the ease with which you can set up a project like this, and the obvious benefits of having all your tools (chat, tasks, etc.) in one place.

    Great walkthrough! The only thing missing on Basecamp for me is a place to group projects. I run a branding agency and we have multiple projects under one client. The way basecamp is set up now, on the home page, all of those projects from one client is mixed in with projects from other clients. If there was a way to group those projects, it would be a much smoother and intuitive process for the whole team. Maybe this is something someone already figured out - would love to hear it! All in all, love Basecamp and the additions made to the platform!

    I would love to see an example of how many projects you have and the info examples in each of them.
    I tend to have WAY too many grows of docs, to-do’s, calendars etc under one project.
    An example Outline would be fantastic. Thank you for the added education. I have used BaseCamp always and I get all my consulting clients hooked on it too. Thanks again and I hope anyone reading this comments had a beautiful week.

    Learned a new tip! Did not know you could adjust order of tools by dragging - I thought they were ordered by what order you turned them on.

    • @jf4841
      @jf4841 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can drag them on the tool setup page or even right on the project page. Give it a try!

    Thanks for the video Jason! I’m really enjoying this new series. I have been happy Basecamp customer for the last 2 years and use it to manage all of my projects for my marketing agency.
    The question I had was: how do you go about deciding which tools to use - and how - for each specific project?
    I ask this question because the Basecamp tools are quite flexible out of the gate. You can use the docs and files and make it like a message board. You can use the to-do tool and have it like the new card table tool. You can have one project with a bunch of tools or have them separated into mini projects, each with less tools. The variations of how you could design your own “tool structure” for each project is seemingly endless.
    So is it best just to freestyle it and find out what set of tools work best for your own specific situation? Or is there a better way to more accurately understand each one of these tools so that you can use each one to its fullest capability during a project?
    In other words: How can we effectively apply all of these tools in different contexts and in different ways?
    Thanks Jason!

      Great question. Short answer is: Whatever works. Don't need to be too rigid about it. No hard and fast rules - just use what makes sense. It's more about context over consistency. That said, let me think about how I can show you, rather than tell you, in a video. I'll play with it. -JF

    Cool stuff! Can you email cards into the table? Could see that being useful, like for triaging support emails.

    • @37signals
      @37signals  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not yet, but that's definitely a good idea. That said, in Basecamp you can reply to any discussions being had via email and it's saved right back into the project. And since Card Table cards have comments, email works there too. -JF

    Damn, do you guys ever sleep?
    Nice to see a "quick & dirty" rolled out so quickly (more evidence you live by the ethos "good enough is fine"). I'm changing projects soon and can see a good opportunity to try Basecamp to replace a lot of Slack, JIRA, Teams and E-Mail chaos currently in use. My only concerns would be how well the information is communicated between systems using an App Integration and what security issues may arise, working behind corporate firewalls & VPNs. For example, I'd love to understand how emails sent in Outlook are displayed in Basecamp Projects. Are there tags/accounts/subject filters used to specify which emails will be displayed within folders/projects within Basecamp? Or is that simply the domain of the App Integration I choose to employ?
    Tip of the cap to you good sirs, as it's not often you see CEOs of a market leader taking so much of their valuable time to invest it into TH-cam videos. Cheers.

    How would you use Basecamp to get feedback on visually-driven projects? Is there something akin to the comment feature you would find in Figma? Is there a way to markup images, comment directly on them and still see those comments in your project activity?
    Seeing comments and feedback directly on designs, in context, can be a massive time-saver. But if we can only do that in Figma or InVision (for example), my worry is that all discussion about the design would just happen there, externally, and not inside of Basecamp. At that point Basecamp is no longer the "single source of truth" - Basecamp might be missing some important discussions that informed a crucial design decision. How does 37signals handle this?

    • @37signals
      @37signals  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We do it all the time. We share designs, and we comment below. Not by pointing an arrow at a piece of the design, but by explaining the point in context, with words, and with graphical "volleys" in comments. It all works beautifully. I've always found pointing to details in design with arrows and tiny comments all over the place just misses the point and makes a mess. -JF

      ​@@37signals I'm assuming I can't say anything that you haven't already heard over the last 20 years. So I'll just mention the issues I've seen in other systems, as well as Basecamp. Most often external clients or people outside of my department - people who aren't really invested in good "documentation hygiene" and who, instead, always pursue the path of least resistance - will just comment on the most recently uploaded version of the design. No specifics given or "graphical volleys" (like that term, btw).
      This means, after a few rounds of revisions, all context is lost on these previous comments. In order to find which comment corresponds to which design, I have to compare things like upload dates and comment dates.
      I guess I see an equivalent to the email-to-comment feature. Some people (clients, external stakeholders) aren't interested in maintaining good documentation hygiene - and will always follow the path of least resistance; they will simply default to email if that is what is easiest in that moment. Without a feature to accommodate the tendency toward path-of-least-resistance, the single-source-of-truth starts to fray. This isn't unique to Basecamp. In fact, the only software I can think of that has something like this "comment versioning" function is Abstract (?).
      Perhaps someone on your design team could do a video to discuss how this problem is typically managed? Or how your customers -particularly ones with external clients- manage this issue?
      Either way, thanks for sharing. The recent uploads have been great.
