This Focused Performance Weblog started life as a "business management blog" containing links and commentary related primarily to organizational effectiveness with a "Theory of Constraints" perspective, but is in the process of evolving towards primary content on interactive and mobile marketing. Think of it as about Focusing marketing messages for enhanced Performance. If you are on an archive page, current postings are found here.
I was on the private beta (guessed what the product was a few days ago on their blog), and it's an excellent program. Just the kind of spit and polish you'd expect from the Omni Group. Does round-trip file sharing with MS Project without difficulty (using the MS Project XML file format), has a great (and easy) web publishing feature, and does a waaaay better job of "balancing" resources and schedules than MS Project. (You can balance based on time or resources being fixed -- very nice.)
Given my fond memories of the late, lamented MacProject (which had the best network-based plan-building interfaces ever}, this, coming from one of the best Mac App development houses, sounds nice indeed. Especially given the comment about resource balancing, for which MS Project is useless without plug-ins. Really looking forward to checking it out.
Maybe I won't need Parallels to run MS Project anymore. (Wishful thinking, although without that need, what other excuse can I come up with to upgrade to a new Intel-based Mac?)
