Organization Programs

Being organized can be easy for one person, however doing it for a team is a different story. While in my internship, I have been put into a position where keeping everything organized is key; keeping my entire group organized however, is turning out to be a difficult task. There are many programs out there to help keep your mind clear and workflow simple. These two are just some of my favorites.

The first of these programs is 'Basecamp'. 'Basecamp' is the best of the best in my opinion. When you get onto the website, you can easily take a tour that guides you through their many setups. My favorite is the to-do list that can be checked off after each task is complete. One of the best things about this site is that you can invite as many people to group as you want and they can each put up a little picture of themselves so you always know whom you are talking to. The bad thing is the price; starting out is $20 a month for 3GB. If you have a bigger company and you are in a position to make this a requirement for everyone to use, then I suggest you use it.

Another one of my favorite websites that is similar to this is 'Do'. Just the video itself is enough to get you join the program. What I love about this is that it is all generated towards apple products. Where I work, every student I come in contact with has an Apple Mac so this helps. A major plus for me is that you can set up text alerts and email alerts so that no matter what your employee says, you know they got the message.

There are plenty of websites out there that you can look up for your company. Every company has different needs so you have to be careful when choosing what you want. For example, I like 'Base camp’s' calendar and schedules but it is just too big for what I need it for.
