Hi Jon, just some words about what you do. What’s unique in your team?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We are a Christian camp and conference center in the Santa Cruz CA mountains, including family camps, youth camps, summer camps, as well as events for men, women, couples, and professionals. I work with a design team inside of a non-profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why does tracking time matter for your company?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Time tracking for us is not meant to justify positions or check up on employees. We use it to make sure that the jobs we are designing have a real return on investment. We can use the data that we get from time tracking to justify or move away from a particular practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the need for good data to make sure that we are being responsible stewards of the money we are allotted is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What project management tool do you use and why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We use Basecamp 3 as an organization. We tried out several Basecamp alternatives<\/a> before that but they didn’t work in a way that met our needs. It gives us the simple functionality that we need to ensure the projects are completed and that there is some accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like how Basecamp breaks the projects down into lists with to-dos. This is so powerful when you work on a huge task that is split into smaller tasks. This way it is easier to see where you stand at this moment. What they lack is they are not a time management app<\/a>, in a sense, there is no way to track how much time I spent on my to-dos. You can always use Basecamp integrations<\/a> for that though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We did use Toggl and were pleased with it but for us, the Basecamp 3 integration was a must. So, Everhour was the best time management app that we found for Basecamp 3 time tracking<\/a>. It places a timer into a to-do in such a native way, that you can’t even get it is not a part of Basecamp \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) The Basecamp 3 integration and ease (widgets) keep us from hopping around from program to program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2) It appears this is an evolving program and to me, it is exciting to work with a company that is intent on improving its product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3) The ability to customize reports gives us a chance to pull data quickly and when we need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you, Jon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"everhour](\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/everhour_basecamp.png\" "\\"everhour")
