According to standard terminology, "a Project Manager is the person assigned by the performing organization to achieve the project objectives.".

In Clarizen, every project or sub-project has a project manager team member. The creator of the project is set as project manager by default. He can reassign another project manager to the project.

The Administrator is a person who is responsible for organizational and system environmental settings.

Administrator plays a main role in maintaining:

For the organization working with multi-currency support Clarizen allows entering monetary values accompanied by the three-letter currency code in all fields of monetary type managed by Clarizen.

A Work Policy defines relation rules between the three following task and resource related characteristics:

Progress Impact is a link between two work items where the completeness of one work item impacts the completeness of the other.
When you create a sub-item under a specific work item, Progress Impact link is automatically created. The progress of the sub-item will automatically impact the "parent" item's progress.
You can manually create Progress Impact links between two items, that do not have a hierarchical relationship, from the Progress Impact panel.
In this panel you can also define the weight of the sub-item within the overall completeness progress of the impacted work item.

According to standard methodology, a dependency is a logical schedule link between two project work items and defines the sequence of work between them, e.g., launch can be performed only after product is developed.

There are four types of schedule dependencies:

To demonstrate the different types, lets say that Task 2 is dependent on Task 1.

Duration of the work item represents the time required to complete the activity.

Duration can  be entered into the system in minutes, hours, days, weeks or months (see Time Unit Formats  for more information).
