Merlin Project Integrations

Get things done with Things

Do you use task planning software, or to-do apps, to organize your thoughts and tasks - from everyday errands to life's biggest goals? Apps like Things and Omnifocus also help project managers micromanage to plan their day and work efficiently toward goals. Of course, the tasks that need to be done in the project should also be included.

It is therefore obvious to send activities from the project plans of Merlin Project as tasks to Things. But also transfer tasks from Things as activities to Merlin Project. The free AppleScript developed for this purpose enables easy data exchange between the two programs. In this way, the two programs complement each other perfectly.

There is also a free AppleScript for Omnifocus users to exchange tasks with Merlin Project. If you use TaskPaper for creating your to-do lists, you can download a free AppleScript from us as well.

The mobile manager - Merlin Project on the iPad

Congratulations, you are not only a Project Manager, you are a mobile manager!

Being a Project Manager (PM) is awesomely challenging. You are responsible for execution, planning, and closure of projects while ensuring them being delivered on time, on budget, and within scope.

Juggling with so many demanding aspects makes this job very interesting and consuming at the same time. Luckily not all matters need your attention equally on every and each phase of the life cycles your projects are in. Some days you are more into issue identification and resolution, on others you need to calculate your budgeting requests or consider your cost estimations. Most of the time you are simply communicating with your team members and key stakeholders. You exchange information on status, progress or problems.

In our focus are topics around management - especially of projects, Apple and its hardware as well as software, but also special like software development or software distribution. We choose websites very subjectively and mostly in the context of our mission.
