Basecamp

New in Basecamp: Filter Activity by People or Projects

The activity page shows everything that's happening across all your Basecamp projects. But what if you want to only see what members of your team have been working on? Or need to check in on just a handful of projects? It can be challenging to sift through everything and find what's important – but not anymore! Now you can filter activity by projects or by people. From the top of the activity page, choose how to filter your results, then search by people or projects to customize the report.

Visually track the progress of tasks with Basecamp Hill Charts

In this video, we break down Basecamp's Hill Chart feature for getting a visual representation of the status of a to-do list. Every piece of work has two phases. First there’s an uphill phase where you figure out your approach. You have a basic idea about the task, but you haven’t figured out what the solution is going to look like or how to solve all the unknowns. Eventually you reach a point where there aren’t any more unsolved problems. That’s like standing at the top of the hill. You can see clearly all the way down the other side. Then the downhill phase is just about execution.

New in Basecamp: Cycle through Images

When you have a lot of images in the Docs & Files tool, it can be difficult to flip through them quickly. Not anymore! You can now cycle through photos, videos, and files in just one click. The magnifying glass icon opens up a preview, and the arrow buttons on the right and left or the arrow keys on your keyboard let you quickly move through the items in the folder.

New in Basecamp: Group Projects on Your Home Screen

If you're looking for more organization options for your Basecamp home screen, you're in luck! With our latest product update, you can now group projects together on your home screen into piles we call Stacks. Stacks make it easy to organize your home screen by team, client, or a particular time period. Stacked projects appear at the top, along with pinned projects. And you have the control to arrange them in any order you would like. Enjoy!

37signals: Live design review for "Basecamp project stacks"

In this live design review with Jason (product), Brian (product manager), and Dorin (designer), we discuss a new Basecamp feature in development that allows people to organize their projects into stacks. This design includes a round of simplification in response to a more complicated design we looked at last week (not part of this video).
