Migration of Web projects from Basecamp3 to JIRA, but, what is the Need?

“Failing to plan is planning to fail”, wow, a very good quote and if we apply the same thinking during a project development process, the value of that quote is sure to increase. For effective planning, organizing, resource management, and deciding source estimates project management software is essential. Similarly, while dealing with web-based projects, respective management software is necessary. In this article, we will go through two of such software, which are basecamp3 and JIRA.

Going with the Features

Basecamp– It is a project management tool developed for web-based applications. The latest version of this tool is Basecamp3, where it has come up with new features to ensure a much improved performance.

JIRA– Also for project management, JIRA software additionally supports bug tracking while dealing with critical data. JIRA promises to provide full agile support.

The main idea behind this discussion is to foresee the better management software between these two. So let us go through the benefits offered by JIRA over Basecamp3.

• Workflow Design– Irrespective of the magnitude of project involved, the workflow engine of JIRA can be modified accordingly.
• Scrum & Kanban Boards– Allows the optimization of workflow through a unified approach. Also, it allows the teammates to be up to date with latest issues and the rate of progression.
• Plug n play Add-ons– JIRA is easily extensible and can back numerous projects with varying magnitude as it can support more than thousand add-ons.
• Tracking Issues & Bugs– Since, JIRA is supported with scrum; the privilege to review each phase before moving on to the next one is possible. So, the possibilities of having bugs are null.
• Dashboard with Customizable Gadgets– Dashboard in simple words is the progress report of a business. Hence, it is easier to keep track of the work and make necessary implementations. Since, business is all about growing or changing requirements, the customizable gadgets are well preferred for this.
• Real-Time Updates– JIRA helps to have a greater leverage on every decision through providing timely updates.
• Cloud Compatibility– Well what else can a business ask for when they can manage their work through cloud services.

Basecamp3 on the other hand fails to provide all these advantages to its users. Web based projects involves various strategic paths, multiple critical timelines which, are to be countered efficiently. In the wake of this fact, these project management tools provide multiple access facility, where each of the team members can have access respectively. Project management software reduces the possible risks that may involve through providing early updates. Also, the team will have a better command over managing the resources to avoid unnecessary expenses.
