It’s late and I should be getting into bed, but at last Friday’s meeting, someone mentioned Basecamp, and that made me think about collaboration software, and that let me to Project Pier. I toying with the idea of, when I return to my CLV job, using this to keep my disparate team and client properties in touch with each other and our projects. Just toying with it at the moment.
I use Basecamp a lot and really get on with it. If you’re working with people from many different offices and locations, it’s a real boon.
Hi Tom, yes Basecamp is a useful tool, and I believe we have an account. It’s obviously designed about the needs of a website development team though – but I guess in a way all these web solutions are. I’m not sure it meets my needs, as I’m looking for something that will help the team share there capacity planning with each other, and manage things that aren’t projects. I’ve also been looking at Huddle, but thats not quite project-based enough. I am a fussy guy.
Project Pier though might not be the solution either. I was going to run in on my own personal server space to run it, but I discover my provider isn’t using PHP5 yet.
