Use Brainstorming to Develop Ideas and Find Creative Solutions

How often have you used brainstorming to solve a problem? Probably more often, even if you haven't noticed it.
Brainstorming creates a long list of ideas on a topic. Well done, brainstorming can be exciting, energetic, collaborative, and very valuable. But if you take the wrong approach, it's depressing, boring, and often a waste of time.
If you know how to brainstorm well, both in a group and alone, you can get the most out of this opportunity.

The best thing about Macs is that things work simply, nicely and silently. You do not really need to know much about macOS operating systems, computer architectures, file systems, application interfaces or protocols. You just use your applications and be creative. This applies to Merlin Project and Merlin Project Express as well.
You can let Merlin Project for example publish project structures to the Calendar and have them synced among various devices. You see it accessing Contacts for the resources. You can get it to mail reports to project stakeholders and sync edits of other users into one file seamlessly. It all simply works like a charm!
Occasionally though, a bit of technical understanding comes handy to you.
Knowing your IP is great. Even better is having a project management tool that keeps you on track with time, cost, and scope.
Try Merlin Project free for 30 days and stay in full control of your projects!

Especially since we lack the coffee or tea kitchen due to the decentralized work, such activities are important as a team.
But of course this is not only true for us here at ProjectWizards, but also for all companies and industries in general. Here are a few reasons why team building is so important:
