See which projects are at risk—and do something about it—before anyone has to ask.

We just launched real-time budget visibility for every project you manage.

See which projects are at risk, adjust before overruns compound, and report to finance in seconds instead of hours. No more scrambling when someone asks for numbers.

Project Performance Dashboard, Project Health View, and Labor Cost Budgets are available now for Team and Premier customers.

What's new

Project Performance Dashboard

See budget status across every project you manage in one view. No exporting. No building reports. Just open the dashboard.

What you get:

  • Real-time budget status for every project (on track, over budget, or no budget set)
  • Custom alerts when projects hit the threshold you set—before they're over
  • Drill into any project to see why costs are trending the way they are

Project Health View

When you see a project at risk, drill down to understand why. See cost vs. budget over time, who's working on it, and which tasks are consuming hours.

What this means for you:

  • Adjust staffing before problems compound
  • Reallocate work when projects are running hot
  • Report to finance with actual data, not estimates

Labor Cost Budgets

Set labor cost budgets on projects. Track the cost of projects, internal initiatives, R&D work, operational overhead, and any other work that consumes labor—work that's often invisible to finance but critical to the business.

What this means for you:

  • Run internal projects the same way you run client projects
  • See exactly how much labor a project has consumed
  • Give finance the cost data they need without manual work on your end

Managers get visibility into budget health. Finance gets clean labor cost data. Same system, same numbers.

The sooner you start, the sooner you stop scrambling

Starting today:

  • You know which projects are at risk without pulling reports
  • You adjust staffing before overruns compound
  • You report to finance in seconds, not hours

Next week:

  • Your VP asks for a project update. You pull up the dashboard. Done.
  • Finance needs cost data. You share the view. No spreadsheet building.
  • A project hits its budget alert threshold. You get notified. You adjust before it's over.

Next month:

  • You're not scrambling anymore. You're managing projects with actual visibility.

This isn't just about better reporting. It's about running projects better—starting now.
