Recommendations to others considering Outplanr:
To really get rolling with Outplanr, you have to create some projects, groups, and tasks. As mentioned, tasks can be assigned to projects, and they can have subtasks, deadlines, start times, comments, priority ratings, file attachments, and more. Tasks can only be assigned to one project at a time, however. That's not the case in Asana or Sendtask, where tasks can have more than one project. Outplanr does not let you add tags to tasks, making it difficult to filter across all tasks to find those that have something in common other than their project or assignee.

What problems is Outplanr solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Work button shows a list of tasks assigned to you. The Plan button brings you to a calendar view, with a summary at the top of what's happening in the selected week, plus summaries below for each person on the team with color-coded bar graphs indicating which days people are going to be busiest. I love this view because it gives managers, in particular, an easy way to glimpse at staff availability. The Plan view also lets you add events to the calendar, which is handy. In the Track section of the app, you see an activity feed across all members. You can filter the activity feed to show the activities of one individual as well.
