So what’s a Door? A Door is a link to another app, product, or service that can be displayed alongside Basecamp’s built-in tools on a Team or Project’s main screen. Doors are a recognition that there’s a rich and wonderful world of other tools that people use in conjunction with Basecamp to get their jobs done. DoorsĮven though we manage all our teams, projects, bug tracking, executive decision making, social connections, internal communications, and nearly everything else using Basecamp, we also use Github for code, HelpScout for customer service, Zoom for the occasional video call, etc. We think you’ll get a lot out of The Lineup. Now, once you slap some start and end dates on said projects, you’ll get a great at-a-glace view, all on one screen, of what the company was focused on, what it’s focused on now, and what’ll it’ll be focused on soon.

The past, present, and future are now in view, telling you which Projects are currently in play, which recently passed by, and which ones are coming up.īefore The Lineup, it was hard to know which projects were in play, which ones were coming up, how much time was left on what, and who was working on what. And future projects that are coming up, as well as past projects which recently completed, are also plotted in a more muted, thinner style. Any dated Project that's ongoing (one that has a start date before today, and an end date after today) is plotted on the timeline with a big white box, similar to the Project boxes on the home page. How’s it work? First, you’ve got Today, always centered, with a vertical line running down the screen. Then add the dates to the “Project Schedule (optional)” section. menu at the top right of a project and select the “Edit name, description, and dates” option.To add start and end dates on a project, click on the Start and end dates are only available on Projects, not on Teams, since the Marketing Team is something your company always has, while a specific Marketing Project starts and ends. A vertical green line marks today, which helps you get a sense for how much time you have left. We show the dates span right at the top of the Project, so everyone knows when the whole thing is due. Part ONE: Now you’ll be able to add start and end dates on projects. Ooh, here’s one you probably never saw coming. Give it some time for the changes to sink in - we think you’re really going to love it once you get used to it. Plus, we’ve optimized the design for small and big accounts alike by dynamically resizing the cards based on the number of Teams and Projects you have. Overall, this Home Screen redesign is a vast simplification, but also a more powerful rendition. Now Home is more for you and your specific stuff, and not just big picture things like Teams and Projects. Always quickly accessible, always up to date. Below the Dock (that’s what we call the spaces for the Teams and Projects) there’s a single link which takes you to a simple A-Z list of all the Teams and Projects you have access to, not just ones you’ve pinned or recently visited.Īnd down below, we have two columns just for you: Your Schedule and Your To-Do Assignments. And if you choose to pin more than 12, you can do that too. Want something to stick around? Just pin a team or project to lock it to the top, and now you can even drag-and-drop reorder your pinned items so they’re just right. This makes the top more relevant, and not just an alphabetical collection. Second, we have 12 dedicated slots that automatically show the most recent teams and projects you’ve visited. The single button simplifies things, and the subsequent screen does a better job explaining the difference between teams and projects on creation. You also have a single button to create a new project or team - before we had multiple buttons spread in a few places. Your HQ and Teams are marked with little indicators, and everything else is a project. We no longer favor the HQ or Teams over Projects.
