Clarizen’s Latest Release Offers Portfolio Optimization and Strategic Resource Planning to Better Align Projects with Key Business Goals
Comprehensive Release Also Includes New SharePoint Integration, Enhanced JIRA Integration and Usability Features for Improved Engagement and Effectiveness
San Mateo, CA, July 14, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Clarizen, a global leader in collaborative work management software, today announced its latest major product release. The latest release accelerates productivity, communication and engagement at every level of the organization, with a comprehensive set of features that enhance project portfolio visibility and align business objectives with resource and project planning. With SharePoint integration and extensive integration with JIRA, Clarizen continues to bring together disparate systems, giving users a single intuitive interface to transparently share information and data.
“Our unique approach to collaborative work management engages users through increased visibility that is actionable across all lines of business, departments and teams – both internal and external,” said Yoav Boaz, Clarizen’s VP of Product. “Our latest release, takes this vision even further by enabling portfolio managers to better balance future project demand based on forecasted resource needs, as well as ensure that projects being selected are aligned to key strategic business objectives.”
The release includes Clarizen’s portfolio optimizer that empowers businesses to optimize project and program portfolios by automatically calculating project alignment to weighted business objectives while balancing financial metrics of planned and in-flight projects. Different alternatives and proposals for a portfolio can be saved and discussed while evaluating resource availability for the given options. Once a proposal is approved it can easily be placed into execution phase with visibility into priorities, project financials, and delivery timelines.
New Release Featured Highlights:
- Accelerates business objectives by aligning project portfolios with strategic goals and providing “what-if” scenarios to optimize financial planning
- Catapults business planning and deployment capabilities through time-based workload allocation and tighter resource optimization
- Improves user productivity and collaboration by managing and viewing SharePoint content directly in Clarizen
- Aligns formerly siloed project activity by integrating multiple instances of JIRA to streamline and centralize project planning, visibility and reporting
- Provides faster time to value by eliminating manual administrative processes in transferring configurations like profiles, views, and reports and dashboards, from sandbox to production instances.
