Clarizen 2.0 goes Live!
|
|
|
It is now official. The long awaited version, Clarizen 2.0, is live!
The official launch will take place at the Under the Radar event on Microsoft campus in Mountain View, CA on March 20.
Clarizen has been invited to present the new release as part of the “Graduate Circle”, which comprises a hand-picked group of companies that have "graduated" from being under the radar and are gaining major momentum.
Clarizen is being sponsored by Microsoft’s Startup Accelerator Program, a prominent program Clarizen was invited to join earlier this year.

What's New in Clarizen 2.0
|
|
|
Clarizen 2.0 includes a major redesign and continued focus on usability improvements along with the introduction of new features. For example, users from now on can right-click their mouse to bring up any item's context menu and use mouse-over to access common actions rather than click through several screens and pop-ups.
On the new features' list, to name a few of the highlights, you will be able to:
- Export to Excel your project work plans (WBS) and other data
- View from the dashboard (What's New) all your new project data.
- Enter Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks and Months in the Duration field.
- Change between work item types, for example, change a task to a milestone.
Stay tuned for the release notes as they become available and published on our Community Site.

Fresh off the Press: Clarizen 2.0 Buzz
Web-Enable Microsoft Project with New Version of Clarizen's PM Software, Sarah Perez
"...the Clarizen product has a lot to offer current users of Project as well as those who would prefer an online tool. In a way, Clarizen web-enables Microsoft Project by allowing for the import of Project files into the online software."
Kiss Microsoft Project Goodbye, Rafe Needleman
"This product has a very nice, very Web 2.0 user interface, but what I like best about it that most users will never see the UI: managers can set up projects on the Clarizen site, but people responsible for delivering on those projects never have to use it. The product sends e-mail queries that users can update directly, bypassing the main site and the $50 monthly per-user fee as well."

| Simpler Project-Managing Apps Get the Job Done |
|
|
"Though Microsoft Project is a capable project management program, not everyone needs its power. If you want help managing a business project but using Project feels like swinging a sledgehammer to swat a fly, try a less ponderous alternative.
Web-based project management services are fairly easy to set up. You don't have to install software on your PC; and since all project information is stored online, any team member with Internet access, a Web browser, and an e-mail account can participate, even remotely. " Read more...
