This is a useful feature for mobile project managers, because it detects schedule elements that are not correct, like tasks that start before the project begins and other scheduling mistakes and anomalies that can affect your overall project schedule. OmniPlan also detects Violations in your project schedules. The feature lets you approve changes one change at a time, which is useful for those users not quite comfortable with GANTT charts and other project schedule formats.

Adjustable views are important in desktop and tablet project management apps, and you donвЂ™t have drill down deep into menus to change views over your project schedule in this app.ДЇigure C OmniPlan includes some nice viewing options. OmniPlan lets you view project schedules by Filters, including Resource, Status, Type, and Visible Date Range ( Figure C).

Say what you will about the validity of the iPad as a project management tool, OmniPlan uses the best parts of the iPad user experience with some robust project management scheduling features to make setting and managing a project schedule easier than it would be in a desktop application. However, OmniPlan hits the sweet spot of project teams and individuals seeking a project management app thatвЂ™s easy to use. Some desktop project management apps intimidate users because they have a reputation of being difficult to master. Like their other iPad app releases, Omni Group does a good job of maintaining feature parity between the iPad and desktop applications. After checking out this app, IвЂ™m here to say that no coverage of iPad project management apps is complete without it. When I previously wrote about tablet apps for project management, OmniPlan had yet to launch.
