Planview AdaptiveWork

Formerly Planview Clarizen

Great product that helps our project management organization and professional service delivery teams gain effortless visibility across all workforce in real-time and effectively streamlines our processes by automating repeatable workflows and easy to configure to fit the way we want to work. It also helps us to identify and manage risks and monitor expenses and ensure our projects stay within budget.

Currently, Clarizen is being used by only a small subset of our organization—mostly just our team; with the possibility of it being rolled out to other teams in the future. We use Clarizen as the foundation to manage our implementation and migration projects—internal and client-facing. Clarizen helps provide a clear picture to each of us as PMs, our management and leaders, and our clients in regards to our project progress. It ensures that we are tracking appropriately, allows us to maintain accountability to our internal resources, but also the client, and can be used upwards to reflect team capacity, ability to meet key performance metrics, and overall project success.

The product is being used to manage a variety of projects. Everything from true IT projects with a variety of staff, needs, and steps, to smaller non-IT projects with very few stages. It's used because it is easy to use, and easy to track and report against. The product is also less intimidating to use for newer or non-IT staff than the tried and true (MS Project).

Clarizen is used as a project management and time tracking solution for the organization. This includes client onboarding, ongoing work and tracking time for each task, as well as aggregating the hours worked by employees overall. This helps us forecast work and understand where someone needs assistance or who can assist.

The professional services departments use Clarizen to manage customer implementations. It helps us track project cost/scope/time and also allows us to keep project records tied to that information. We store information about project contacts, documents like the statement of work, requirements, and signatures on the project plan. We use color coding to track project statuses and we add notes which are pushed to internal management teams about the project status.

We are using Clarizen across the organization in all departments. We are using Clarizen for project and request management, reporting, budgeting, and billing purposes.
It serves all our needs in operations, billing, efficiency, tracking, and ensuring projects are worked and handled within the budget and stipulated time.

Clarizen is used by our information systems teams/departments to support our manufacturing application changes. We handle all application projects, resources, time management, application support, and change requests. Clarizen is the most user-friendly project management and request system we have used with a built-in configuration that allows us to manage our workflows, including business testing and approvals.

Our team used to use Clarizen to track employee time and expenses. Time tracking is imperative to what we do, and we use the information we gain from time tracking in numerous ways across our organization. From a project management standpoint, Clarizen was the software we turned to house and mine that data, while also tracking expense reports.

Clarizen is used across our entire organization for client project management, project financial reporting, and time and expense reporting. We use it as a core project management tool for our professional solutions, as well as for internal projects and time management.

Clarizen was implemented across the whole company when I started working here. It was used for time tracking, timesheet submission and client workload accountability. It addressed the problem of tracking time across multiple client projects in an accountable way for the HR team but was not well liked by the general users.

Clarizen is used through most of our business to push work orders through from salesforce and assign work to resources throughout the company. It helps to provide structure and organize when projects are going to complete.

Our company has hundreds of projects running at the same time. Clarizen is used for planning out work weeks, time tracking and internal communication across teams.

Clarizen was used by my marketing agency as a way to manage employee bookings, track time and manage travel arrangements. There were many functions of Clarizen that we didn't use, but it was a way for us to see which resources (people) had availability to work on upcoming projects and also keep track of individual time on multiple projects (most people were working on many tasks at once).

Our team uses Clarizen as a project management tool. It helps us set up timelines for our clients. Our users can make sure the project remains on track, lets them enter notes and we can also see the status of other projects for the same client within our company.

We use Clarizen in the services team.

Clarizen is being used by all account managers. It helps identify resource conflicts and helps with timeline management.

Our organization primarily uses Clarizen through Professional Services. It is used to manage all the accounts of the customers.

Clarizen is currently being utilized by the Tulare County Information and Communications Technology Departments PMO for project management. When we made the selection and subsequent move to Clarizen we were using Sciforma (PSNext) which held many problems that needed to be solved. For example:

• A lack of project metrics, which led to “guesswork” on behalf of project managers and the PMO
• Weak or non-existent effort data, which made it impossible to accurately track time spent on projects
• An absence of work notes -- the PMO had no idea what was going on outside of weekly project meetings
• Sciforma was only being used by PMO staff and not by project teams

Clarizen is used to manage and coordinate activities for a portfolio of projects utilizing a shared resource pool. Prior solutions could not adequately manage resource workload. Clarion offers high-level and detailed views so we know that projects will be completed on time.

Clarizen is utilized by all departments in the organization to manage projects large and small of both internal and external nature. Clarizen addresses the core business problem of collaborative project implementations through an easy and user friendly solution. The application is accessible both via the web and mobile devices providing extraordinary flexibility to the project team thus bypassing long interval updates.

Clarizen is currently being implemented in our organization to manage new projects and change management procedures.

Clarizen was first implemented to fulfill a need within the Web Production/ Web Marketing organization as a way to manage KTLO activities. It quickly morphed in the central tool for managing all work streams, programs, projects and maintenance. With our success of using it to ring a multi-year, multi-million dollar project to market, several other groups/ PMOs within the organization took interest and began adopting Clarizen. Principally, it allowed for high visibility and predictability into project health, while allowing improved communication within project teams.

At my current job, I use Clarizen for project management. I have a project created for each client and tasks within those projects to help keep me on task. Most of our departments use Clarizen for project management; there are only two departments that do not (sales and lead management). Clarizen helps address organizational issues that can occur when a company has too many clients or projects. It allows us to keep other departments on task and to review each other's workload.

Clarizen was used in my time as a college student in a project management course. I was assigned a team of students and our team was asked to manage a project using Clarizen. It was selected by the professor to be used after direct comparisons with competing project management software.

Clarizen is used by 113 IT project managers from technology and procurement departments (not all organization). We use this product to manage procurement contract plans and technology projects. Overall it is a good product, but is lacking some resource management functionality and project governance processes.
