I think a calendar sync feature (with Google, Exchange) would make the product a complete solution.

I have been searching for a task management tool that would let me plan at all levels - long term, month, week, day and hour. WeekPlan comes very close to what I want, but I'd like to add the ability to plan my day in a more granular way. I have meetings, etc to plan around, and I'd like to be able to sync with my calendars to see what time slots I have open to devote to tasks in my todo list. That is a feature I would happily pay a premium price for. 

Thanks for a great product!

I would like to ask for Outlook Exchange integration. Many companies use Outlook Exchange as the primary calendar tool. Meetings that one need to prepare for is main toll on one's professional role. But there is a disconnect there. Need a way to periodically sync Outlook Exchange to WP is needed. Just once/twice a day batch script will also do the job. There are some VB tools that send Outlook agenda out as an email, if WP can parse those, it will be a great value add. Happy to pay premium for it.

HI iyogee! 


Thank you for reaching out.


Are you perhaps, referring to the Microsoft Exchange? If so, please be advised that this is yet to be available via Zapier.

yes. same thing here.
Aymeric, I have to be honest. Workboard.com seems to have everything we need and it takes week plan a lot further. We are testing it right now. I will let you know how it goes.

I am not getting it. the subtasks need to be visible in the Week view on their due date and it must be visible that they are child tasks from what main task. If that is what you meant we mean the exact same thing.

It would replace the Envision module totally, so yes, a new view.

I think it would solve #3 too since you will be able to create any level of subtasks using this new tool and set dates to them. Then when editing a specific task in the week view, it could show you all the direct child tasks.

would that be an additional view?

it would solve #2 but not #3

Actually, I think something like this would be more versatile (would work for more scenarios): http://gyazo.com/14557246b5e3d9bdfd119065242bf8ba

Any item in the outline could be made a task (with a date or inside the parking lot) and each task can have any level of subtasks.

This concept of subtasks would be different to the one existing in weekplan currently. Existing subtasks could be renamed "Checklist". Here the subtasks would be shown as their own task in the week view (instead of only being shown when you edit a task).

This outliner view would allow people to break down their goals by any structure they want (year / quarter / month / etc..)

Would that solve #2 and #3 for you?
