Ditching Basecamp for Project Management With Google Docs

freelanceswitch: This week we look at Ditching Basecamp for Project Management With Google Doc by Freelance Jam. In this video the Freelance Jam duo cover project management workflows as they relate to client projects and thier own projects. Brian has decided to move most of his project management process over to Google Docs, while Dave is holding strong on the super simple Basecamp app. Find out how and why we each are using the systems that they are.

I listend to the entire video while doing my PRM assignment, and it really wasn't useful - these folks didn't talk much about how they were using google docs as a project management tool, or even how they were using Basecamp. It seems like an apple to oranges comparison, where, while some of the data may be the same, these two applications do completely different things with data. They also talked about how they integrated these tools with a plethora of other services/softwares/tools. I think the bottom line is that we individually need to find project management softwares that work for us individually, and as long as we invest in them and have a system the project management will not be about the particular software that we're using, but rather the project.
