The mobile manager - Part II

Merlin Project on the iPad - Views

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

We've already established what an awesomely challenging job you have. You juggle with execution, planning, and closure of projects. You keep track on your deliverables so they ideally stay on time, budget, and within scope. You need to be completely hands-on but also flexible to react promptly and accurately on professional demands. You might already know, how Merlin Project on the iPad was developed to serve your professional requirements.

Allow us to introduce you to some more features of Merlin Project you as mobile manager need to know.

Timeline 3D Gives Projects A New Perspective

TimeLine 3D creates timelines that can contain texts, graphics, hyperlinks and annotations. The software helps with many tools to place the content. Historical and chronological events can be presented in a graphically appealing way.

Many project managers also use this software to realize special display requests and to create timelines of the project's progress. The free AppleScript sends project data from Merlin Project to Timeline 3D.

Project Management With Elephant Memory Thanks To Evernote

Who has a memory like an elephant, except the elephant itself. You organize your notes, documents, pictures, links - almost your whole (working) life in Evernote? You'll be happy to know that you can link these Evernote notes to your projects, activities, resources and attachments in Merlin Project.

One way is to copy the Evernote link into any text field in Merlin Project. Read how here.

Or you can use our free AppleScript for an automated link. You can find the download in our support article.

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.

Chef-Demo: Merlin Project auf dem iPad

Das erste Mal

Seit einiger Zeit mache ich sogenannte Chef-Demos zu Merlin Project. Hier zeige ich immer einen Anwendungsfall in Merlin Project auf dem Mac und gehe diesen von Anfang bis Ende durch. Der nächste Termin ist am 18. Mai um 16 Uhr. Diese Serie wird aber kontinuierlich weitergeführt, da ich mich jedes mal über ein volles (Online-) Haus freue. Vereinzelt nehmen Leute sogar mehrfach teil.

In den letzten Wochen kam vermehrt die Frage nach einer Demo für Merlin Project auf dem iPad auf. Gesagt, getan – ein Termin steht fest: Am 6. Mai um 16 Uhr findet eine erste Chef-Demo auf dem iPad statt.

Die Demo erfolgt in deutscher Sprache via Zoom. Bitte registrieren Sie sich, damit Sie am Tag der Demo den Link für den Zoom-Raum bekommen können.
