What drives the app is the notion that beginning use should be relatively approachable, while more powerful tools and the capacity to zoom in for additional insights into project progress should also be available. In an interesting aside, Case noted his father was an industrial engineer working for Boeing who made extensive use of Gantt charts using pen and paper as he managed huge-scale projects. To help, he built his father a work scheduling app on his first computer, an Atari 800. “We didn't want people to be limited because they found the app didn’t have enough depth for what they wanted to do,” Case said.
“We wanted it to be easy for them to capture a project, get into it and organize it to the level of depth they need - to grow into the project and become more advanced in using the app as needs grow.”Īt the same time, Omni also wanted to ensure its project management solution could meet the needs of complex projects. That’s why you’ll find increasingly powerful features nested inside OmniPlan. They don't have a lot of time to just spend in project management tools the whole day, they don't want to spend a lot of time when they're working with it. I spoke with OmniGroup founder and CEO Ken Case, who explained the fundamental aim of the software:“OmniPlan is designed for project managers, typically, that's their professional role, sometimes they're dedicated project managers - but it can also be somebody for whom this is one of many hats.
It means project managers can easily assess overall project status and also swiftly focus on deeper project data to stay on top. It also supports dark mode, syncs automatically (and speedily) via iCloud, and does a great job helping project managers assemble complex tasks within Gantt Charts. These charts aren’t simply images, but can host dependencies, so the tool becomes a working window into project completeness.
