OmniPlan 2.0.3 review - Mac software

Tasks, resources, and a complete project schedule are easy to create, and once you have the basics in place it’s easy to link, rearrange, and reschedule every aspect of a project. If certain aspects are out of sync – if something scheduled for tomorrow is dependent on something that won’t be completed until next week – OmniPlan displays visual cues to help you see where the schedule won’t work. You can colour-code each segment of a project, and create styles so that each project you work on has a similar look and feel. You can also add notes, documents and images to each task. OmniPlan can help to facilitate collaboration. The only downside to OmniPlan is not so much a problem as it is a challenge associated with most applications of this type.

The promising app arrived this week in the App Store. Created by The Omni Group, OmniPlan for iPad isn’t for casual task planners, nor is it a simple to-do app. Instead, the app is a feature-rich package that uses Gantt charts to set tasks, assign material and human resources, and share documents with multiple users. Does it succeed? Yes and no. As a standalone product, OmniPlan is cutting-edge and makes great use of the iPad’s gesturing abilities.

At its core, OmniPlan allows you to track an overall project time frame and then break down each of its component parts, or sub-tasks, and milestones. Don’t worry; if you make a mistake within your timeline, OmniPlan will come to the rescue and display a violation window.
