As a project manager at WebCreators Inc., I successfully utilized Basecamp for diverse projects to manage tasks, coordinate with the team, and track progress effectively. There are many great features in Basecamp, but the ones I particularly found helpful in tracking progress were Hill Charts and Check-in Questions.
Hill Charts are a fantastic tool that lets you visualize the status of any task or project. We used them to manage milestones, observe how they're progressing, and spot any potential blockers early.
For example, when we were developing a new website for a client, we created a hill chart for each stage of the project, starting from the design phase to the deployment phase. As each task progressed, we updated the charts. This gave us a clear visual representation of the project's status and helped us to meet the deadlines with accuracy.
