There are no test centre closures related to weather at this time. Talent Solutions for the Reshaped Workplace.Project X has this (a server, & tasks can be updated through an OSX Dashboard widget), but doesn't support SCRUM (as far as I know) and is in general a huge pain in the to use.
#Omniplan sprints update
The rocking, game-changing feature of this would be to make it server-based, and allow team members to update this on their own. This would show, by resource (& group), something like the attached picture. This view would have a filter (by Resource Group, by Person) which would show the Sprint (or project) and its burndown graph.
#Omniplan sprints plus
I really see it as a couple new views on the data, plus some new inputs to support a sprint: In excel, can I create forumlas to give me resource-level data? Sure, but the hope is that the resource-level reporting is all nicely integrated and I don't have to spend a bunch of time with =sumif(blah.) functions. Excel can be used to do a lot of things if you have the time to create all the formulas, but it's not meant to be a PM tool, and I don't want to spend a lot of time futzing with the tool to make it work.
What does OmniPlan give you that an Excel (or Google) spreadsheet doesn't?Įase of use and resource-level reporting.
#Omniplan sprints software
I want to see what each person is working on, their own personal burndown, allocation, and all the other good stuff.ĭoes anyone else have a need for this? I did a lot of plan and control stuff when I worked in professional services, but now that I'm working in internal software development, with fast release cycles, I just find it much less useful.
I want to be able to enter the tasks within a time period (whether that be the entire project, end-to-end, or a sprint), their effort (the estimates of which may change day-to-day), and then track the burndown of that effort over our time period and compare it against available remaining hours (based on a standard work week).Īs a bonus, I want to measure variance against initial estimates, etc., as a way to help future planning. What I really want is the ability to do two things: While there are dependencies to be "managed", they are best not managed (for various reasons) through a detailed list of predecessors and successors on a project plan. Our development organization is very much not a plan and control type of group. Have you thought about implementing any features that would support SCRUM?
