ProjectWizards (http://projectwizards.net/en/) has announced Merlin Project for OS X. It’s a tool for planning complex projects.

Many actions in Merlin Project are now animated to help customers get a better understanding of what happens in Merlin Project. In addition, there is integration in OS X (iCal, Contacts, and more), open interfaces to other Mac programs, and the possibility to import data from Microsoft software such as Excel and MS Project.

Another new feature is the “report” view. With customizable reports, Merlin Project allows any time an overview of the utilization of staff, budget and the state of the project progress.

Merlin Project requires Mac OS X 10.9.5 or later. It costs US$299; upgrades from Merlin 2 are $134. Merlin Project can be tested for free for 30 days and offers German, English, French and Spanish as languages. Other languages are in preparation.
