Anyway todos from the big project as well as the small one can be handled solely in OF.You probably will have a template to handle those repetitive works. If it is a small project, something like preparing a short business trip, just manage it in OF only.(Currently there’s no way to set a “complete” flag in OF and feed it back to Merlin 2.) All completion and change in project is handled in Merlin 2 and re-feed into OF as another set of project data and discard old set data in OF. If it is a big project, something like hosting a big conference as a year-long span, plan it in Merlin 2 and feed the data to OF.I can handle completion flan in OP.Īctually, another project management application Merlin 2 from Project Wizard can export data in OF format and feed them to OF with the help of applescript. It is ideal if you checked “complete” in OF and is imported back to OP as a complete flag, but it’s not 100% required. It’s better if you can attach some attribute on OP which is recognized as “context” in OF. Minimally, all I need is the ability to export from OP its project name, task name, some date infos into OF. They first have to recognize users needs, imagine what data set is needed to make this solution possible. I suppose that OnmiFocus is originally a by-product of OmniOutliner, or some evolved version of OO, while OmniPlan is totally a different product, and both teams do not recognize or consider this issue as a big one. How it is good if we can draw big picture in OmniPlan and chunk them down into ToDos in OmniFocus. Apparently what you planed in OmniPlan should be broken down to what you should do in daily activity in the GTD context. I’ve also searched for long how to integrate both. I say all of that to say this, obviously both applications do good on-there-own right and they do both have different (hats) however we all know that integration (at least give people the option) would overhaul and solidify peoples workflow.Īnyways, rant is over but convo is beginning, what are your thoughts? (whether you agree or disagree, leave your thoughts!) As omnifocus has a more straight forward approach. On the other hand, i use omniplan to be in the CEO role (hat) where i plan deadlines, see different inputs like resources and such and how it incorporates, omniplan actually doesn’t really play a role in helping me actually get things done more in that it helps guide and FOCUS what to do, how to do it and when. See i use omnifocus to do worker type stuff, its really about GTD. Its a no brainer that these apps if used in conjuncture with one another, would be crazy more powerful. Its just confusing and disappointing to see that two apps equal in there own rights, definitely overlap boundaries. Its beyond me why omnigroup refuses to incorporate these two softwares, i mean the request feature has been around for quite some time and on the radar. Its like the US government, all these agencies (apart of all one entity) are incapable of sharing data and working together. SOOO I’m confused and perplexed as a company who makes both a GTD app and a project management app do not communicate with on another.
