Peanut Media is a Leeds based digital media agency that provides a range of creative services including branding, SEO, web design and website development. Jason Dainter of Peanut recently wrote us to tell us about how the company uses Basecamp.
Here at Peanut Media HQ we refer to Basecamp as 'our bible!' and we'd struggle to manage all our day to day operations without it. Having a project management tool that takes no time to learn and is quick, easy and intuitive is vital to us. We've explored other project management systems in the past, but most of them offer very over-worked solutions, that are a nightmare when trying to train staff how to use. Basecamp cuts out all the chaos and provides a project management tool that, put simply, just works!Basecamp is a big contributor in allowing us to meet deadlines. Firstly, its simple milestone system is a doddle to use and makes it very easy for us to communicate important deadlines to our external developers and designers. Secondly, Basecamp encourages assigning one task to one person, which makes it very clear in any organisation who is responsible for the delivery of that task and when.
Basecamp seems to have hit the nail on the head with functionality. Rather than doing lots of things, very badly.. It does just the important stuff, very well!
