No, MS project is not the right tool either. it is Gant Chart driven and not people driven. I'm looking for a task = to milestone relationship like MS Project. I don't understand the mental model that basecamp works under. A milestone is an end of a collection of tasks, "maybe" but not all tasks terminate at the same point within a milestone. I'm not even talking about dependencies.
while I'm glad that Basecamp works for you, I think that if it can't work for a small volunteer only organization, then there is a problem in its design. But even from a straight heuristic perspective I think the design suffers from a lot of issues. Some of the issues I mentioned below have nothing to do with scale or robustness but are just poor usability or incomplete functionality. -- dave On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 8:16 PM, Robert Hoekman, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Basecamp is hardly a disaster of design—it has a higher satisfaction > > > rating than any app I've ever heard about.
