I know I just posted release notes of 2.5G just a couple of weeks ago but start getting used to it - with the adoption of our frequent Sprint releases, Clarizen is now able to churn out fully loaded releases in very short intervals.

Clarizen 2.6 features a major uplift in Resource Management functionality with an overhaul of the Resource Load screen to make it an interactive, dynamic source for managing the resource allocation across all projects. Whereas before resource assignments would need to be updated on the Current Project view, now it can be handled also from the Resource Load view spanning across all projects.

In addition to the Resource Load overhaul, we are proud to unveil the all new Resource Calendar view, another work of art from our creative development team. Similar to the latest Gantt chart released in Clarizen 2.5G, the Resource Calendar view is also based on a Flash file and is loaded with features allowing you to see resources' daily task breakdown, dependencies, percent completed, overload indicator, and more.

Just two weeks after releasing Clarizen 2.5, a major release featuring time tracking, customer billing and other new features, the fully loaded version, Clarizen 2.5G, with the long awaited Clarizen Gantt Chart, is now live.

Clarizen 2.5 augments our existing project management solution with a turn-key solution for services organizations needing to also track hourly resources and bill the respective customers.

From now on you can use Clarizen from the initial point of planning and budgeting through executing, collaborating, tracking and finally billing customers, paying hourly resources and creating customizable reports.

With a single point solution to manage all these fundamental aspects of projects for professional services organizations, users no longer need to look outside for third party vendors rather it's all in ONE place.

Beyond timesheets and customer billing, Clarizen 2.5 includes additional powerful features such as: Super User providing edit and view permissions to all projects; Financial User giving access to financial data in the Clarizen organization; ‘Shortcuts' where users can have a work item (task, milestone, project) from one project impact a completely separate project without needing to bring them under one project and ‘ALAP' (As Late As Possible) allowing you to plan your project backwards from the Due Date so that you can factor how late you can start working on a project that.
