Release Update: August 20, 2025

We heard you and improved how you manage your team and finances. With a few key enhancements in BigTime Resource Management, planning became more precise and faster.

What's New -

This release brings updates across team management, calendars, reporting, and assignments in BigTime Resource Management.

Key Improvements:

• In the Project Team view, you can now add members faster.

• In both Project Calendar and Team Calendar, task grouping is more transparent and flexible.

• The Project Finances Report gains a new monthly table for easier trend tracking.

• And across Resource Management views, assignments are now sorted more intuitively.

These enhancements give you better project visibility, help balance workloads, and make financial tracking more precise.

Project Team View Updates

Build project teams faster in the Project Team view

In the Project Team view, you can add people directly to the project. Next to the Search for Team Members button, you’ll see a new option to Add Team Members quickly. This makes it much easier to build project teams on the fly, without switching views, and helps you respond quickly when staffing needs change.
