Growing Pains – Collaborating with Remote Workers

Our affiliate business, imwave, continues to grow, and the days of being a one man shop are long over.  Now I find myself looking at solutions to help manage a growing team.

Having read many great reviews of Basecamp, I have started testing the tool as a way to help keep track of what people are working on and to make sure important pieces of projects don’t fall through the cracks.

There are a lot of project management tools out there, but this one seems to be getting a lot of traction.  It allows you to easily manage the communications and tasks involved in just about any kind of project.  You can have multiple teams of people both internal and external with access to the projects they are working on.

Pretty cool.

Has anyone out there used Basecamp?  I would love to hear your thoughts?  Are there other tools you like better?

    My old programmers use basecamp and swear by it. They have a 8 person team with others working remote and clients as well. We are developing a different extranet, but basecamp should provide all you need and more.

    I’ve used Basecamp a little bit. I do like it, but have recently switched to Google Sites. It’s free and I built an Intranet overnight. Google sites does all the things I was using Basecamp for – though it’s certainly not full of frills. It’s worth checking out anyway.
