Basecamp is a web based approach to project collaboration.  You can find it at http://www.basecamphq.com. The clean interface allows a company to coordinate and communicate project details.  One of the many great features that Durrani uses for basecamp, is the dashboard feature that outlines any upcoming to do’s that need to be accomplished, as well as give an overview of all upcoming projects.

Customizable

Unlike, most web based project collaboration software.  Basecamp by 37 signals has a clean interface that allows the user to customize the look and feel of the interface.  From customizing the color of the layout appearance to uploading a company logo, Basecamp allows the user to customize its interface for a greater aesthetic appeal.

Organization

From the dashboard, that gives a breakdown of upcoming projects.

 Manage Your To Do Lists!

To the to do lists, that show upcoming to do’s for each project that specifies a to do that must be accomplished on a either daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

To milestones, that show upcoming events for projects, these milestones are useful as a project coordinator can see if they are on track of a project and if one can fulfill any and all deadlines and adjust accordingly.

Also, file sharing, allows different users to share files over the web that pertain to a certain project, where it can be accessed anywhere around the world.

The message board, allows users to communicate with one another and any notes that pertain to certain projects, without the hassle of emailing one another back and forth.

Finally the project overview, gives an analysis of the project to see if all to do’s, milestones, have been accomplished or is about to be accomplished.

Time Tracking

However, the best feature that seems to be of most prevalent use to Durrani, is Basecamp’s time tracking feature.  This feature allows workers to log-in time they spent on certain projects, of which reports can be drawn up to customers of Durrani.  So that the customers can see what they were being billed for, for an ethical price analysis.
