Planview Clarizen At A Glance

Good: Robust features for tracking every task and milestone of a critical project.
Bad: Not intended for companies that need a lightweight project management tool.
Bottom Line: All-in-one task-tracking and resource-management solution for analyzing every aspect of an ongoing or future project.

Product Overview

Planview Clarizen is a cloud-based collaborative work management solution that help enterprises quickly turn ideas into strategies, plans, and actions in order to respond to constant (and accelerating) market conditions.

Teams can work the way they want, and managers will have real time-visibility into all their projects. This keeps everyone engaged and focused on the things that matter, so results are delivered faster, and company goals and customers’ expectations are exceeded.

Planview Clarizen helps organizations cater to different work styles and offers a wide range of capabilities to accelerate team performance and maximize business outcomes:

  • Project and portfolio planning, execution and management
  • Resource management and capacity planning
  • Project financial planning
  • Time and expense management
  • Work request and project demand management
  • Agile task management, Kanban and Scrum
  • Collaboration and communication
  • Issue and risk tracking
  • Document management and digital proofing
  • Reporting, dashboards and analytics
  • Security and user management

Planview Clarizen offers two products: Clarizen One, aimed at enterprise-wise PMO teams, and Clarizen Go, intended for smaller, more agile teams that need to work in scrum and Kanban methods.

Features

Here, we’ve selected the top five features of Planview Clarizen:

1. Automated Workflow Management: Users automate, repeat and scale how they create processes and streamline workflows. They gain new efficiencies as they offload administrative tasks and spend more time doing work that matters.

2. Capacity Planning and Resource Management: Managers get full visibility into all their resource demands, available capacity, schedules and tasks along with the planning tools to evaluate “what-if” scenarios and make real-time updates to fully utilize their resources without overcommitting.

3. Project and Portfolio Optimization: There are so many projects that one team can take on, given resource and spending constraints. Planview Clarizen aligns projects to business objectives so you can focus and make the best use of your time and budget.

4. Project Financial Management: The software helps prevent any surprises and keep financial metrics in check with real-time visibility and up-to-date project financials. Managers meet project objectives and stakeholder expectations, whether it’s budget, contracted revenue, ongoing health or planned benefits and ROI.

5. Reports and Dashboards: All levels of the organization are empowered with 360-degree real-time information so they can make immediate data-based decisions. They save time using the built-in wizard to automatically produce customer-facing presentations with project data in their own branded template.
