Tracked Erfahrungen

We juggle clients and projects so Basecamp keeps us on top of everything!

Kommentare: A clearer mind because I know that I have captured all the parts of a client or project and I can quickly assign tasks and now that my team is on top of everything.

Vorteile:

We can organize everything from to-dos to documents to random thoughts about a client or project in one place so it is easy to stay on top of everything or to pick up where you left off.

Nachteile:

one feature that I hope is coming soon is to be able to make a repeating to-do. Right now we change the date but don't have the satisfaction of checking it off every time.

Basecamp: A Simple Project Management Tool for Teams

Kommentare: We now have a solid way to track projects and progress across many different departments. It helps with work flow and deadlines.

Vorteile:

It's easy to learn how to use Basecamp. The search functionality and notifications are great.

Nachteile:

I get way too many email notifications. I know I can edit that setting, but I never seem to do it properly. Also, some team members get a bit passive about minding their projects and comments added, but we're all getting better with this.

Good idea for an integration, but pretty limited in functionality

Kommentare: I was initially really excited about including a virtual Kanban Board, but with only two options to display the card (one too specific and the other too general), it doesn't really meet our needs the way we had hoped. Also, the inability to copy labels from one project to another (or put them into templates) and lack of any real reporting or exporting and sorting capability was disappointing. Overall, I thought it would be more useful than it actually is for our needs.

Vorteile:

I like the virtual Kanban Board, and that you can customize and save a standard setup for your team to use over and again for future projects. The drag and drop makes it easy to use, and it is nice to have individual Kanban Boards within each project as well.

Nachteile:

A few things: I didn't like that labels don't copy from one project to another, and that you can't set labels in project templates. It would be nice to be able to export the to-dos with labels so you can report on them and sort the data, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Also, you only have two options to display cards, and neither of them are quite good enough. One is to display every item on every to-do list (including the lists itself, which is confusing) as a card, and this takes a really long time to sync if you have a lot of projects. The other is just to display the projects as cards, which is too broad when a project has multiple To-do lists and several features being worked on at once.

Kanbans on Basecamp! A missing feature

Kommentare: Tracked support has been really responsive and helpful. Overall it has been a great experience and has enabled our rapidly growing agency to get even more use out of basecamp and stay on the platform longer.

Vorteile:

This adds kanbans to projects in basecamp, which is amazing, however, this takes it a step further and allows us to turn all of our projects into cards on a kanban board and individuals can organize their tasks on kanban boards. This is a really useful add-on to basecamp and honestly is a feature that basecamp is missing.

Nachteile:

The con is not really about tracked but about basecamp. Tracked adds a feature that I believe should natively be part of basecamp

Tracked Makes Basecamp Even More Efficient!

Kommentare: Love that Tracked is now a part of basecamp! It feels like it always should have been a part of the software as it allow us to stay in basecamp for all of our project needs, rather than jumping in between software and has made us more efficient in our day to day projects!

Vorteile:

We love using basecamp with some of our partners to easily keep track of a project, but Tracked has increased that organization tenfold. We can keep everything from a task list to assets to comments all in one place so that we can all easily stay on top of the project!

Nachteile:

It would be nice to have Tracked in the desktop and/or mobile apps, as I sometimes am on Basecamp from my phone. Overall, not much I would change!

Good for setting up Kanban boards

Vorteile:

I really like how easy it is to get a Kanban view of your basecamp tasks. I find dragging tasks between categories and setting up new tasks and categories to be very easy.

Nachteile:

I think it would be really great to set up sprints in Tracked. If we could have a more focused view of what I should be working on in a particular week or two weeks. Also it's a bit frustrating that I can't see the boards on the desktop or mobile Basecamp apps but I'm not sure much can be done about it. Also the individual view seems to be a bit buggy

Well designed addition to Basecamp - we wouldn't work without it now.

Kommentare: As a developer, I love seeing my tasks lined up in the Backlog and sometimes make myself a Today column which gives me a lot more clarity than Basecamp's standard views. The QA/Review column is also a must have in our process when a task is done but awaiting release or approval.

Vorteile:

Well considered design and implementation. Consistently improving and with very quick customer service and fast turnaround for feature requests and bug fixes. Tracked is impressive particularly because it could be so much more limited but they have ensured it is as full featured as possible.

Nachteile:

Unfortunate that it can't work in the desktop apps and mobile app but tbh we don't use those anyway. The popup of a task when you click it on the Kanban is a little clunky looking and doesn't yet support the Harvest time tracking extension (although they are working on this).

A Great BC3 Add-On For Those Who Like Board-Style Views

Kommentare: I've been using this app for about two months now and I can see using it perpetually. It has also helped with team collaboration to provide a visual tool for organizing and prioritizing.

Vorteile:

The setup is about as straightforward as it gets. I like how both projects themselves and the tasks within projects can treated as boards-- that is really helpful for macro-level monitoring and prioritization for management across a project portfolio, as well as simple project visibility into the status of a group of tasks.

Nachteile:

The admin view for Tracked needs a little front-end polish so that the table data display is a little more consistent. The button to "sync projects" can take a while and would benefit from some sort of progress bar to show time to completion.

Excellent tool for visualizing workloads

Kommentare: Tracked has enabled multiple branches of our team to better visualize and keep track of complex projects without having to badger each other for updates. Improves the Basecamp experience massively.

Vorteile:

The ability to add custom columns to the board so that it can be used for a multitude of project types is invaluable.

Nachteile:

No issues with Tracked so far, have been using it for almost a year now.

Great for amplifying Basecamp projects

Kommentare: Great! Love using it.

Vorteile:

The ability to sort things into Kanban boards. It has helped our team keep track of things, organize well, and status our projects.

Nachteile:

You sometimes have to re-authorize in order to log in or see the correct views, but that may be some user error.

The Didgigo Tracked for Basecamp review

Kommentare: Overall we like trackedhq. However we would love the following features - Milestones
- Task dependencies (Blocked by, other task Blocking etc.)
- Temporarily hiding entire columns in the kanban view (When you have 15+ columns in a board it gets hard)
- Better everhour support.

Vorteile:

Our team loves both the Kanban boards and the labels. We only use the personal Kanban boards, and project and personal do not really align for us. All our staff use the Kanban boards in one of 2 rough ways: By Project - Each column is a project - Context switching becomes very quick - Helps when running multiple projects at once and knowing what the next task in each project is. By Timeframe - Each column is a timeframe - Examples include (Q1 2019, Q2 2019, This month, This week) The labels are used in a number of ways - Tracking which clients certain todo's affect - Tracking whether some task is blocked (This should really be a separate feature) - Tracking milestones or release targets for issues (Again should be a seperate feature) - Tracking issue severity - Tracking issue priority

Nachteile:

Not specifically a trackedhq issue. When clicking a todo in the Kanban board it comes up in a custom dialog. This BREAKS the everhour basecamp integration. We were using tracked to quickly jump between tasks and assign time to everhour. Im unsure exactly how the Everhour plugin works but i assume it requires the full task page (Like how Kanban used to be).

Tracked has increased the overall efficiency of our business

Kommentare: The ability to run a team more efficiently and have an overall view of what is happening and when and who is working on it.

Vorteile:

I love the functionality. While it has it's occasional glitches, the overall use of it is amazing. Our company has benefited from it so much. Even though we are a smaller team we all work together, sometimes remote, and we juggle a lot of different things for an ever-growing client list. Tracked has helped us communicate better because we could hop in and see what projects were being worked on and who has been working on them. It has allowed us to break out bigger projects into smaller bit size pieces that make more sense to the team.

Nachteile:

The glitches are pretty common. We also had some issues for a while trying to figure out labels to where we did not have to recreate the same ones every new task we made. But support was always there to help.

One of the most useful workplace additions you'll ever use.

Kommentare: Our repairs system was a disorganised mess before we used tracked. Introducing this has revolutionised the way we manage customer repairs. It's a complete life-saver.

Vorteile:

Being able to integrate company wide tasks within a KanBan style workflow has transformed the way we work as a company. It's revolutionised the way we manage product repairs and support issues and has led to greater productivity and efficiency.

Nachteile:

Sometimes Tracked does not load properly, especially after software updates.

Useful Tool

Vorteile:

Basecamp is great, but it can sometimes be difficult to communicate priorities to your team, especially if you have a ton of projects. Tracked is a useful extension. It really helps us prioritize and keep the rest of the team appraised of our progress.

Nachteile:

Occasionally Tracked will disappear from Basecamp for no apparent reason. I won't notice until my project manager asks why I'm not using tags on my To-Dos. Then, I'll have ot reinstall it.

Good app for kanban view

Kommentare: great basecamp add-on to have the kanban view, since basecamp does not provide this important visualization

Vorteile:

What I like about tracked is that it allows the visualization in kanban of the cards created in the basecamp. In addition the customization of the board in columns is simple and very customizable

Nachteile:

The cons is that the installation of tracked is a bit complicated and I experienced difficulties in the first use

Tracked for Basecamp Works Great!

Vorteile:

I originally was used to using Trello before transitioning to Basecamp and the concept of a kanban board/cards where I can assign where each task is progress wise. I also like being able to see every task assigned to me in one place instead of having to click through each of my projects.

Nachteile:

Sometimes, I get kicked out of Tracked and have to re-log-in which can get annoying.

Helpful addition to Basecamp, allows us to organize and prioritize tasks.

Kommentare: Kanban board for Basecamp cards, a single place for comments around tasks.

Vorteile:

Ability to link Basecamp cards to priorities. Would be hard to link each card with a separate card in Trello. Discussions are all in one place. Addresses a legit need in Basecamp lots of engineering teams use Kanban boards.

Nachteile:

Its not as easy to use as Trello. It feels a little clunky and hard to use for example, when clicking on a card, it appears in a small-ish modal, which is a chore to navigate. Would rather have it open in a larger modal that looks more like the Basecamp UI. Overall, it might make more sense to just use Trello for engineering related tasks, and only use Basecamp for things that the rest of the company needs to see/comment on.

Review for Tracked for Basecamp

Kommentare: If you are being forced to use Basecamp, Tracked for Basecamp is the only way to keep your sanity. It makes Basecamp's horrible UX design less miserable, better organized and will save you hundreds of clicks.

Vorteile:

It made Basecamp actually useable and productive.

Nachteile:

Having to re-authorize it with Basecamp all the time and having to re-enable it for each project.

Very positive, everyone learn to use it right away

Kommentare: Being able to visualy track progress

Vorteile:

Easy to integrate with our favourite project management tool, that meant a huge improvement in our workflow with out any major migration

Nachteile:

Maybe more features, like github/bitbucket integration or an independanta app for mobile tracking so you can always be connected

Needed something that could see tasks from different projects

Kommentare: I hope that you do add the functionality of letting Tracked access tasks across all projects shared by one team. This would be a huge advantage for basecamp. I liked the product and the communication with the tracked team, but our team is not using it because we need to see all tasks from all projects at once. We run a property management company, and each "project" is a house or property, and all members of our team work with all properties. The most important drawback to Basecamp for us is that we can only see tasks either divided by project or divided by team member which means that in our weekly scrum sprint meetings, there is no single view of all the work for our team. I've looked into a dozen team-management websites and softwares online, but none of them quite matched basecamp for storing and organizing information and records. And no add-on software was quite as appealing as Tracked for it's simple, clear design. But again, we are not using it because we do not want to look into each project separate from all others.

Vorteile:

I like the simple kanban layout, it's easy to use and I liked how it integrated almost seamlessly into the BC interface.

Nachteile:

I did not like how I could only see the tasks from one project at at time.

For the complexity of the projects we are handling is good enough

Kommentare: Implementing a new methodology for product development.

Vorteile:

Simple to use. Easy to Set up. Coupling with Basecampthat was out tool for managing projects in a more standard way.

Nachteile:

Some coupling with basecamp should be improved. I have doubts about using it in more complex projects.

Great product, slightly expansive so not everyone on the team can get it

Vorteile:

Ability to add tags to tasks is very useful. Making it a drop down might be more intuitive and functional.

Nachteile:

We don't actually use a lot of the features so cost seems a little high. Would be great if we can just pay for single features we use.

Tracked really helps with the Kanban feature, organizing the company workflow.

Kommentare: Organizing workflow and integration with tool used at company-wide level

Vorteile:

It is easy to create new To-dos, and move them around the columns. It is useful to have a different board for each project/team. Integration with Basecamp was simple to do.

Nachteile:

The Kanban UI could be a lttle more polished/beautiful. Although I imagine it could be difficult to change while still maintaining design consistency with Basecamp. We used to use Jira Kanban, and I think it was more pleasant to look at. Besides that, there is the fact that the product can get pricy for a great number of collaborators.

I downloaded tracked but don't use it much.

Kommentare: I'm glad this option is available, even though I don't personally use it.

Vorteile:

It seems like it could be really great, but didn't fit my particular needs.

Nachteile:

Didn't really enhance my particular tasks.

Tracked for Basecamp is a PERFECT integration

Kommentare: We love Trello - and the ability to visually see progress on projects and business initiatives. But we also love Basecamp, and use that as the literal base of all of our communications. Having the flexibility to view Basecamp to-do's in Kanban format has been a complete game changer.

Vorteile:

My team loves that we can utilize the structure and functions of Kanban boards with the power tools that Basecamp offers. Together, these are a perfect combination!

Nachteile:

Initially we had a few glitches getting it set up, but now that it's fully running it's up 100% of the time.
