We look at what has the most votes, and that's not always what gets implemented, but it's often a very good starting point for gauging where the interest is. So this, for the most part, starts in our bug tracking system. So a vote gets incremented, but that we also get a note that specifically says, 'This is what the customer emailed in,' like, 'I want cost tracking,' and then maybe some more detail about their actual workflow. So if someone contacts us asking if OmniPlan can do something it can't do, they log that as a feature request. So we start with the fact that our customer support team tracks every email that comes into our system.

How does somebody decide what it is they want or would be interested in and then go about developing that new feature? OmniPlan has such a specific customer set, project managers.

Talk to me about how new features actually get developed for something like OmniPlan. Starting with OmniPlan now, because that was our next release queued up. And so is the idea that this rolls out to the rest of the products eventually as well? Subscriptions have been that way for a little while, where you subscribe once and have access everywhere, but with OmniPlan 4's release we're bringing that to our one-time purchase licenses as well. So if you purchase OmniPlan once, you have access to the application on all of your supported platforms, whether it's an iPad, iPhone, Mac. Starting with OmniPlan 4, it's a universal purchase.

So you'd buy, say, a license key for OmniPlan 3 for Mac, and then via in-app purchase, purchase OmniPlan 3 for iOS. So historically Omni apps have been separate purchases per platform. So OmniPlan is our first universal release. And then on the iOS side, we'd had a similar look at what folks were looking for in an iOS version of OmniPlan, and the big new feature there is a dedicated outline view.Īnd even though the releases have been staggered by a couple of months, I hear that there is something super special about the way that OmniPlan's being released as an app. We also introduced some new scheduling options folks were looking for, as well as a new dedicated outline view on the Mac, as well as a whole bunch of other smaller features and polish throughout the app we can get into in more detail. Can it do X, Y, or Z?' Some of the bigger features we introduced something we're calling cost and effort interval tracking is the one of the big features of OmniPlan 4 for Mac. So we thought about what it was customers were specifically asking us for, maybe they were trying OmniPlan and they were saying, 'Hey, this doesn't fit my project management workflow. I mean, OmniPlan's been around for a very long time at this point. So when we were planning for OmniPlan 4, we thought about. Let's talk about some of the new features in 4 versus 3.

So OmniPlan 4 has been out for the Mac since 2020 and the iOS version is imminent if not already released. And I've been PMing OmniPlan plan for, I think, a little over five years now, just after the launch of OmniPlan 3. And I have been at Omni for maybe eight and a half years now, switched over from customer support initially.

I product manage a couple of things at Omni now, but OmniPlan was where I got started in product management.

And then about five years ago, I got asked if I would like to move it onto that team full time. For a long time, we had kind of a user experience larger group that contributed to the user experience stuff, and I was part of that team, but I was not one of the people who was working full time on that. I moved over to the user experience team. But I was a developer for most of that career, sorry. I've been at Omni for quite a long time, over 20 years. I am one of the user experience designers at Omni. And so what I thought might be nice is to be able to have you both share what your roles currently are, and maybe a little bit about how you got there. And honestly, we thought it'd be a lot of fun talking about the process that led up to these releases.
