DISQUS

EyeRonik1 · 12 months ago

I used Basecamp alone for a couple of years. Now that I'm doing a startup, I've switched to Goplan.com. It's missing a couple of Basecamp features, but Basecamp and Backpack equivalents are included in the same product.

At least check it out before committing to Basecamp.

Oops - that should be Goplan.org

Hello Mr. Ronik1

Thanks for the tip. I checked out goplan.info. Looks cool enough. How does it handle the backpack part of it?

They should probably merge into one company, or else some other company will create a tool merging the functionalities of both.

I think it's more convenient for a Project Manager to use one tool instead of one.

Hi PM,

I appreciate the comment.

The reason they won't do that is because the two tools have different strengths. Trying to bridge a piece of software that is strong in one area with a piece of software that is strong in a completely different area creates complication. It just isn't the 37s way. There are plenty of complicated project management solutions out there.

I like them seperate, Backpack can be like my junk drawer, messy and freeform, and Basecamp is my filing cabinet with everything neat and tidy.

I have just started using both, both seem great, but i would love to transfer entire backpack pages into basecamp, is this possible?
