ITLS Project Management Using Basecamp

Basecamp Is Helpful to Your Project

Your project will be organized and coordinated using an online service called Basecamp. By familiarizing yourself with this tool now, you will experience the benefits Basecamp has to offer including: messages, todo lists, and searchable archives. I have compiled a list of tutorials and links below to help you understand Basecamp and get us off to a great start with your project. Please let me know if you have any questions.

• A full tour of Basecamp and it's features
• A list of FAQ about Basecamp

If you had a chance to watch the full tour above, you may have already seen this videos. But if not it is important that you understand their contents.

Messages: Like email, but better

When you send messages using Basecamp, it creates a shared, searchable archive of the correspondence on your project. Don't worry though, it can still look like you're sending emails due to the email integration available. Please watch the above video about sending messages.

Todos: Know what is getting done and when

Todo lists in Basecamp allow you to see what is done, and what is getting done. It will be the second most utilized aspect of project management. Please watch this training video on todo lists using Basecamp.
