John Jonas, CEO, explains why he uses Basecamp: the Latest Activity tab shows all recent actions across projects in one view, so he doesn't have to check each project separately to see what happened and who did it.
Communication was the number one thing that brought me to Basecamp. The interaction with everything that goes on in Basecamp is what kept me there. So when I tried other project management systems, I was super frustrated with having to go in and, like, look at individual projects to see what's going on. As the CEO with Basecamp, I love the latest activity tab where I can go in as the CEO and look at everything that goes on, everything that anybody has done, and see exactly what's being accomplished in my business. So here is today live data in Basecamp from what's gone on. I have made comments on things. Other people have made comments on things. I can go and look at any one of these things. This is when I worked today. I did a whole bunch of stuff. Before that. Dan, Hazel, Raymond did stuff. Loogie, Julia, Elijah, Chris, Jovan. That was all today, yesterday, which was probably late last night before I worked. There's more from other people doing a whole bunch of work. And then I participate in the conversation, and it shows me exactly what everybody is doing. So I love that I have a single place where I can go and just see what happened today. What did people do? I don't have to go searching at different tasks. I know exactly what went on. That's one of my favorite things with Basecamp.
