“Calm software is real”
Used weekly for 2+ years
Basecamp is the only tool where my notification count went down. Hill charts are an underrated status metaphor — "up the hill figuring it out, down the hill executing" communicates more than any percent-complete bar. It refuses to do many things; that refusal is the feature.
Pros
Hill charts, automatic check-ins replacing status meetings, zero configuration.
Cons
Teams wanting dashboards, dependencies or sprints should not force it.
