#Using omniplan software

There is a lot of customization with these dependencies allowing you to set prioritization or even relating them to material supplies. During this process you can also set up dependencies where one task does not begin until another task ends. You type in to the outline all of steps for a particular project along with the time required for each task and then set them out to the planned dates. The workflow for setting up a plan is really simple. This also allows you to begin working with it in just a few hours. This allows you to keep your project as simple, or complex, as your needs require. Like all of the Omni Group programs, the user interface is very well thought out with intelligent use of inspectors. It allows you to manage project elements, staff, and resources through the use Gantt charts. OmniPlan is a project management application for the rest of us. Having been pulled in by OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle, I became curious to see if OmniPlan, Omni’s project management software, could give me that planning edge I’ve been searching for. I must admit I am a big fan of the OmniGroup. Likewise I tried to use a custom template in Microsoft Excel but that also didn’t work for me. I explored this in my old PC days with Microsoft Project but it felt to me something like trying to hammer a thumbtack with a sledgehammer. Having the ability to organize these projects in a way to allow for strategic thinking and keep me honest as the weeks and months tick by would be invaluable.

As a litigation and transactional attorney at any one time I have about 30 different cases and I am responsible for along with delegating work to several staff members and paralegals.
