Some interesting ideas and thought provoking. I’m in the process of getting a Yammer group started in my company (15 people). It seemed like a good idea, but now I can justify it. Thanks.

Good Q Christine. We use Basecamp extensively for project management too. It’s great. I view the two platforms as mutually exclusive, but complimentary. Basecamp is ideal for managing timelines, resources and deliverables (like blog posts). For our team at Softchoice, Basecamp Writeboards are essential for maintaining version control over copy. And email notifications for milestone reminders are clutch for our team.

Yammer compliments Basecamp by providing our team ways to connect around other aspects of a project. We use Yammer to crowdsource ideas or get help on specific projects (ie. asking SMEs for input), providing realtime status updates on projects to stakeholders (or interested folks) across the business, and then share wins and best practices once the project is complete.

Because Yammer is searchable and taggable, the next time a similar project roles around, our team can get quickly ramped up on what we did previously, and apply any learnings that were shared.
