![]() ![]() ![]() Not seeing Teams on your home page? If you don’t see the Teams section on your home screen, click the “Settings” link top right corner of the new Home Page and flip on the Teams section. Go on, make a few, invite the people on those teams in, and give them a space to work amongst themselves. This is where you can set up your own teams, just like we do in our own account. So we’ve baked this into Basecamp and created a section called Teams on the Home page. These aren’t projects with beginning and end dates - they are perpetual spaces. These are spaces for those teams to share idea, rap a bit, ask each other questions, share stuff they’ve seen that their colleagues would appreciate, etc. ![]() We have projects set up for designers, customer service (they call themselves “Team OMG”), ops, managers (“The Small Council”), programmers, data, finance, C-level execs, etc. Voilà !Īnother thing we’ve done for years in Basecamp is created team projects. Not seeing your HQ on the home page? If you don’t see the HQ on your home screen, click the “Settings” link top right corner of the new Home Page and flip on the HQ section. Your Company HQ is always at the top, next to your logo, and the My Stuff section. It’s like getting a whole intranet for free. So what we’ve done is given everyone a Company HQ (named after your own company) so they can take advantage of what we’ve always known - the HQ is a wildly valuable thing. It’s a big deal at Basecamp - especially because we’re a remote company and don’t get to see each other very often. It’s also where we get to know each other better as people - sharing books we’ve read, vacations we’ve taken, fun stuff we did this weekend. It’s where we post company-wide announcements everyone should know about, where we say hi to each other every morning and chat socially around the Campfire, where we post key documents like our benefits package, health insurance information, and other stuff everyone needs, tell each other what we all plan on working on this week and what we end up doing every day. We’re using 37signals as an example here.Ī “ Company HQ” is a place for your whole company. Your HQ would have your company’s name on it. It’s our company intranet right inside Basecamp. One of our long-held secrets is the idea of setting up a “ Company HQ” in Basecamp. One of the most common questions we hear from people: “How do you guys use Basecamp?” Everyone wants to know how we, the people who make the thing, use the thing. Now you can get to your assignments (and stuff you’ve assigned other people), your bookmarks (we’ve redesigned this screen as well), and your drafts (unpublished posts and documents).Īnd you can also brand your account with your logo. A lot of people didn’t even know they were there. before they were hidden behind your avatar in the top right corner. We also moved the key My Stuff links to the home page. You can pin cards if you want them to jump to the front of the line. The name, description, and who has access are now shown. A place to land, not just a menu to select from. Now we have a dedicated screen with cards for everything in your company. The Home screen is a more visual approach to listing your projects (and teams, and Company HQ - I’ll get to these two new things in minute). ![]() Once this rolls out, the first major change you’ll see is that we’ve replaced the Basecamps menu with a new Home screen. NEW: The Home screen replaces the Basecamp menu First to a random 10% of our customers today, and then the rest of our customers over the next week. This morning (Thursday, October 13th) we’re beginning to roll out a large collection of improvements. Which brings me to… Big updates launching over the next week We’ve made a ton of improvements already, but we’re only getting started. “Woah, I didn’t know Basecamp could do that.” “You mean I can replace four different products with just Basecamp?” Thanks to all our customers - old, new, and renew! They’re finding a whole new world in Basecamp 3. What’s particularly rewarding is that many people are rediscovering Basecamp after having left it years ago. Basecamp 3 is growing 30% faster than Basecamp 2 was - and in a much more competitive market. It’s been a huge hit so far - we’re closing in on half a million new company accounts, still coming at the rate of around 8,000 new companies signing up a week. A first-year birthday + big stuff launching to everyone next week First, a quick birthday celebration ![]()
