Merlin Project (formerly marketed as Merlin in earlier releases) is a project management software for macOS and iOS developed by the German company ProjectWizards GmbH.[1][2]
The software supports hybrid project management across multiple views, including Gantt charts, Kanban boards and mind maps, alongside resource and budget management functions.[3]
Hybrid project management
Hybrid project management combines elements from different project management approaches, such as waterfall planning and agile methods, within a single project. Instead of following one fixed methodology, hybrid approaches adapt planning techniques to the characteristics of the work and the project context.[4]
In Merlin Project, the same project data can be viewed and edited through different planning perspectives. Time-oriented planning can be reviewed using a Gantt chart, which is commonly associated with predictive or waterfall-based project management. For agile and flow-based approaches, Merlin Project provides a Kanban view that represents work as cards arranged in workflow columns and is typically associated with.[5]
