    Collaboration Loop - Product Review: Basecamp

    I do like that a top-level datatype in basecamp is the milestone. Todo lists, message, files, specs, etc. can all be included as part of the milestone. On the negative side, the one feature I was looking for -- a hierarchal view of all the workitems for the cycle -- seems to be missing.

    Quoted: People working together on projects need a way to share project data. There are emails, meeting appointments, assigned tasks, and files to share among project members. In addition, appropriate access must be granted to internal managers and external stakeholders such as clients. While Microsoft Project, Project Server and Project Web Access are designed for complex enterprise projects, many organizations and project teams don't need the sophistication of Microsoft Project, and do not want to manage and administer such a system

      You can create very simple hierarchy (to the level you need) by creating separate pages for each development area of the project and then organizing the lists per area. I've been doing it and it is really the only hierarchy you need. It works really well... We can also create a single page for each cycle (i.e. D02) and upload one simple spreadsheet if you are looking for "all the hierarchy on a page" but I think that's pretty arbitrary.
