SharedPlan iPhone app available
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch we have some great news for you!
As I mentioned in our last newsletter we have been working on an app for the iPhone. Well, the SharedPlan iPhone Project Management app has been approved by Apple (on the first try – which we understand is pretty rare) and is now freely available to you. You can download it from iTunes now.
The SharedPlan iPhone app provides you with a read-only view into the latest status of your projects stored in SharedPlan Central (our online tools for project planning and management). Project status that may be viewed includes:
- a summary of the project with project goal, web site, overview, and version information
- project resources with assignments, notes, email and phone numbers (you can quickly send email or call resources)
- project tasks with start and end dates, duration, resource, and critical path information.
The SharedPlan app connects to SharedPlan Central to gather your project information. Use the app with your existing account, or let it create a free account for you and populate it with a sample project to get you started.
The SharedPlan iPhone app caches project information so you can update the project information before going into an area with no wireless network – very handy for meetings.
We’ve been using it internally for a few weeks now and have been amazed at how access through the iPhone rounds out the services offered by Central and Pro. With the addition of the iPhone app you can now truly stay up on your project deliverables and status from anywhere, anytime – Pro on your Mac or PC, Central for the Web, and now the iPhone app for your pocket/purse.
As always, we welcome your feedback on the iPhone app. And, if you would like, leave a review or rating in the iTunes App Store. We’re thinking about the next app and would love to hear from you on what you would like to see in it.
