ProjectWizards (www.projectwizards.net) has conjured up Merlin Project 4 and Merlin Server 4, updates of its project management software for Mac OS X. You can now manage your team projects with more ease and efficiency than ever before, according to the ProjectWizards.

The company is also introducing the new “Work Areas” feature in Merlin Project 4, allowing work on a project to be divided into a private and public work area. Whenever a user doesn’t want his or her project planning to be visible immediately to all users, the project manager can experiment in the private work area without affecting the live project.

The single-user version of Merlin Project 4 is available free of charge to version 3 users. Merlin 2 users can upgrade at a reduced price. Project managers who use a Mac, iPad, or iPhone, can download a 30-day demo of Merlin Project 4 and Merlin Server 4 from the ProjectWizards website.
