Continued from Clarizen project management software 2.0 Part I Release Notes

New Features and Functionality

5. Change Type
Now you can change the type of work items, say a Task to a Milestone so long as they are direct children of the project. Read

6. Export to MS Project
Now you can also export your projects to MS Project, not only Import. (please note that some fields will not export accurately due to the different calculation methodologies used by each solution).
To export, select the 'Export Project' option from the Project's context menu (right-click project name).

7. Resources Can Create Sub-Items
Thus far Resources were limited to reporting the completion for items they were assigned to. With Clarizen 2.0, now they can also add sub-tasks to those items.

8. Resources on Milestones
Users can now assign Resources to Milestones.

9. Reviewers Replaces Sponsors and is Unlimited
You can have more than one view-only team member, called from now on 'Reviewer', per item.

10. Modular Projects
For total flexibility Clarizen enables restructuring project hierarchies allowing users to move sub-projects from one parent to another or converting a parent project to a sub-project of another project.

You can move an existing project by selecting the 'Move' option in the Project's context menu:

or, add a Child Project that already exists in your project pool:


11. View Options
With the new View dropdown in the Current Project , users can select between the available views. Currently Budget and Basic views are available with more to come soon.


By the way, notice the term 'Work Plan' that has been introduced with this release, replacing 'WBS' or 'Work Breakdown Structure" as part of Clarizen's ongoing effort to appeal to all Project Team members not only professional project managers.

As always, we welcome your feedback (complements too) and, as many of you may have already noticed, we respond to it accordingly with our ongoing delivery of new and enhanced features.
