Frank Blome
CEO of ProjectWizards
…I am deviating from my usual principle of not talking about products that have not been released yet and revealing a bit about the status of the project as well as several functions.
Frank Blome reveals facts, screens and functionality planned for Merlin Server and the Merlin Project Go for iOS. Read more on the ProjectWizards.net site.
When managing a project with Merlin on your Mac you create your tasks and assign them to your resources. As your resources work on their tasks, you as a PM usually update your Merlin project by entering actual values and record progress.
As a Merlin user editing a shared Merlin project on the iOS device with Merlin iOS app, you tap the 
button of a task, switch to the ‘Actuals‘ and tap on ‘Edit‘… Depending on what you want to log, you enter actuals in ‘percentage‘ or ‘absolute‘ mode.
Use absolute, when the total work expected for this task does not match the planned entry. Means, you had 5 planned days, but after having worked for 4 days onto this task you realize that it really needs 3 more days.
If the task is completed, enter the correct amount of actual work for the task, for example 7 days in the ‘normal‘ field and enter 0 days in the ‘remaining work’ field.
Editing the new episode of Project Potion. Points to @projectshrink (Bas de Baar) for coming up with a reason to actually use Flipbook – to catch up on recent tweets into a specific hash tag.
The new episode includes a look back at how our use (as project leaders) of social media tools has evolved over the past 12-14 months. It should be up in a day or so.

The site is geared towards helping people find a great graduate program for PM (cough – University of Texas at Dallas – cough), but her recent blog post on iPad apps has some great ideas in it.
