Agile Waterfall is Not a Swear Word

Project management couldn't be simpler than in the Kanban view: Collect your tasks in the left column as cards. As the project progresses, move them to the right until they finally end up in the Completed column. If you switch between the kanban board and the work breakdown view, you experience the magic effect: The Gantt bars fill automatically. This is hybrid project management.

Make the Most of Your Team

In the assignments view, you can see at a glance which tasks are due for each employee at what time. Find critical overloads and distribute the work in your team with just a few gestures - even across several projects.
Finally, no more overtime and boredom in the project!

Like an Attachment to your Email

Not only attach any files to tasks in your project, but also additional information: For example, use checklists to organize smaller tasks and manage upcoming project deadlines. Pin emerging problems to tasks and be aware of dangers by assigning risks to project phases. With Merlin Project's rich attachments, your project file is always at your fingertips.
