statusboard.me = Project Management + Basecamp + Analytics
The history of the project is very trivial. Supersteil employees needed a full review of the projects under construction. Therefore, they decided to switch to the
Basecamp project management system from
37signals . With a very positive impact on the workflow. But something was still not enough ... They needed a review of the processes in real time, so that everyone was up to date in the blink of an eye, without constant Basecamp checking.

An interesting solution was gleaned
by Dave Valk (Dave Valk) in the blog of his favorite Mac developers:
Panic . They solved the problem with what Supersteil is good at. This is a web page with all the necessary information - status board (status board).
In his spare time,
Simon (Simon) wrote a system that collects all the necessary information from Basecamp: project names, milestones, time charts, deadlines and people working on the project. In addition, you can see when the next tram or subway train is sent, when the next birthday is, as well as information about any project in Google Analytics. All this in a pleasant-looking interface, stylized under the scoreboard at the airport, here's the Status board.

Today I received a letter informing me of the start of beta testing. This week will begin sending out invites.
The letter also said that the Statusboard should be on a separate monitor. Statusboard is what people want to watch all the time.
Can the visualization of such information be used to motivate employees?
