Tackle complex projects
Whether you're planning a wedding or launching a company, Merlin Project Express will help you complete any project. Start with a rough plan, break things down into manageable tasks, assign resources, and keep all relevant docs in one place. Here's how to get started.
Create a quick project plan
Starting from scratch may feel intimidating — save time with templates for various project types.
Now, tweak the project plan to your needs. Edit milestones, rearrange elements, or add new ones. For example, we've added a Status column for our project.
To insert a new element like a milestone or column, click the arrow near the plus button at the top.
Break it down into tasks
Once you have a rough project outline, it's time to dive into details. To add a new task, click the plus button at the top. For a detailed task view, click the Inspector button at the top right. Here, you can set the task dates, duration, and budget as well as add notes.
Assign and manage resources
People, companies, equipment, materials — Merlin Project Express makes it easy to manage all project resources in one place. You can set hourly rates or budget, and the app calculates the cost of your project and individual tasks.
Jump to the Resources tab to manage everything that's required for your project. Want to add a person as a resource? Simply drag their data from the Contacts app.
Keep all project docs at hand
No need to jump between multiple apps for additional project info. Attach all those docs, PDFs, images, and spreadsheets to relevant tasks in Merlin Project Express.
To view all project files in one place, select the first row in the Work Breakdown view and click the Attachments button at the top right. Similarly, you can view attachments for individual tasks. You can set the attachment status like Draft or Approved and add tags to keep everything organized.
