How Basecamp works
Basecamp brings everything together in one place. You can see what’s going on, find what you need, and keep your team on the same page.
It’s a simpler, more organized way to run your projects — and once you’re set up, it’s easy to keep things moving.

Get oriented in a project
If you decide to skip it, open and explore the built-in "Getting Started" project. Level up by completing the to-dos in the “Learning the Basics” To-do list tool.
There's also a sample project called "Making a Podcast" that showcases how we use Basecamp to make a podcast called REWORK.
