Project management and team communication in one place
Basecamp, made by 37signals, gives each project its own space with to-dos, a message board, schedule, documents, a card table and group chat, cutting down on email and status meetings. It favors calm, asynchronous communication over Gantt charts and heavy reporting, which suits agencies and small companies that work with clients.
