What's New at a Glance 

• Six-minute time rounding increment: Round time entries to the nearest 6 minutes so teams can bill in tenths of an hour.
• Deliverables in the Project Performance report: See how each Deliverable is performing, with results grouped by Deliverable > Phase > Role on projects using Deliverables.
• Task modal improvements: Upload multiple files at once, attach existing project files, add hyperlinks and inline images, and react to comments with emoji.
• Fixed fee Deliverables in Time & Materials projects: Set a fixed price on individual Deliverables, recognize revenue as the work progresses, and invoice the fee in full or in installments.
• Rebuilt mobile app: A faster, redesigned app for iOS and Android, with time registration and a new My Work view for managing your assigned tasks.

Feature Details 

Six-Minute Time Rounding Increment

You can now round time entries to the nearest 6 minutes, in addition to the existing options (1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day).

Many professional services firms bill in tenths of an hour — the standard convention across professional services work.

Previously, the closest available rounding option was 15 minutes, which could overstate shorter time entries. The 6-minute increment lets teams capture and bill time in the unit their clients already expect to see.

The Project Performance report now includes reporting broken down by Deliverable, so you can see how each Deliverable on a project is performing.

This gives you visibility into which deliverables are taking the most time, how accurately they're being estimated and priced, and which are the most and least profitable.

On projects using Deliverables, results are grouped like this: Project > Deliverable > Phase > Role

On projects not using Deliverables, grouping stays the same as before: Project > Phase > Role

Task Modal Improvements

We've upgraded the task modal with a richer editing experience and a new way to manage task monitoring defaults across your company. 

Select several files at once and attach them all in a single action. If one file in the batch fails to upload, you'll be told which one — the rest still go through.

Instead of re-uploading a file you've already added to the project, you can now pick it from a file picker that shows your project's folder structure and supports selecting multiple files at once. 

The file is linked, not duplicated, so the same file can live on more than one task.

Turn selected text into a clickable link instead of pasting a raw URL into your description or comment. Any existing raw URLs will keep working as before.

When you paste an image into the description or comment box, it will now display inline, right where you pasted it — giving you a true in-line editing experience. 

It will also still appear as an attachment at the bottom of the task, alongside your other files.

Previously, pasting an image only attached it to the task; it wouldn't show up inline in the text itself. This update adds that inline display, while keeping the attachment behavior you're used to.

The same inline placement now extends to other file types beyond images.

Emoji Reactions on Task Comments

Add emoji reactions to task comments to quickly acknowledge, respond to, or react to updates without adding a new comment.

If your task content crosses between Forecast and Jira, note the following:

• Images from Jira continue to appear in Forecast as a placeholder rather than the image itself — this is unchanged.

• Inline images and files added in Forecast will appear on the Jira side as a link back to view them in Forecast, rather than the file itself.

We've renamed Admin > Project Priorities to Admin > Projects.

The page now has two tabs: Priority levels, where you'll find your existing priority configuration, and Task monitoring.

From the Task monitoring tab, Admins can set a company-wide preference that allows task owners and followers to be added on projects.

Fixed Fee Deliverables in Time & Materials Projects

You can now bill a set price for specific pieces of work, such as a workshop series, a website, or a report, within a Time & Materials project. Each fixed fee Deliverable earns exactly its agreed fee, regardless of the hours that go into it, while the rest of the project continues to bill as Time & Materials.

Setting up a fixed fee Deliverable

Turn on Deliverables for the project. Go to Project Settings › Tasks > Deliverables and switch it on. You only need to do this once per project.

Add your Deliverables. If the project doesn't use Baseline, go to the Scoping page and select Manage Deliverables, next to Manage Phases. 

If the project uses Baseline, manage Deliverables from the Baseline page as you do today. Give each Deliverable the name your client would recognize from the contract.

Enter a price for the ones you're billing as a fixed fee. Open a Deliverable and enter an amount in Price. 

How revenue works

A fixed fee Deliverable earns exactly its fee, no more and no less, regardless of how many hours go into it. What changes over time is when that fee is recognized.

• The fee follows the work: Forecast spreads the fee across time in proportion to the value of the work associated with the Deliverable. If half the work lands in June, half the fee is recognized in June. This mirrors how Fixed Price projects already behave.
• Before any work is associated: A priced Deliverable with nothing associated shows its full fee as Remaining Work Revenue and zero Actual Revenue, spread across the project's dates until work is added.
• Expenses come off the top: Billable expenses on the Deliverable are counted at face value, and the remainder of the fee is earned by time. 

Where to see it

On the project's Budget page, Revenue Recognition now breaks down beneath the total into Time & Materials and Fixed Price (Deliverables). 

Expand either one to see Time versus Expenses, and expand Fixed Price (Deliverables) to see each Deliverable's contribution. The two always add up to your total.

Invoicing fixed fee Deliverables

A fixed fee Deliverable is invoiced as a single line for the fee, rather than as the hours and expenses underneath it. You can bill it all at once or in installments, from the project's own Invoicing page.

Seeing what's outstanding

The project's Invoicing page includes a Fixed Price Deliverables section listing each one, with Fixed Fee, Invoiced, and Remaining to Invoice columns. 

The Confirmed Revenue card now separates Actual Billable Time, Billable Expenses, and Fixed Price Deliverables Revenue, so you can see where revenue is coming from.

Billing the full fee

1. Start an invoice as normal.
2. In the line-generation step, select the Deliverable from the list of Deliverables with an amount left to bill.
3. The Deliverable is added as a line at its remaining amount. Once a Deliverable is fully invoiced, it no longer appears in the list.

Billing in installments

To bill part of the fee, for example 50% up front and 50% on completion, select the Deliverable and edit the unit price on its invoice line. The line is pre-filled with the full remaining amount, and quantity is fixed at one.

For example, on a £10,000 Deliverable, select it and change the unit price to £5,000. On a later invoice, select it again and the line pre-fills at the remaining £5,000. In the meantime, the Invoicing page shows £5,000 invoiced and £5,000 remaining.

Forecast won't let the total billed across all invoices exceed the fee. If you enter too much, the field explains why and the invoice can't be saved until it's corrected.

What won't appear as separate billable items

Time and expenses associated with a fixed fee Deliverable are covered by the fee, so they don't appear as separate billable items on the project Invoicing page, in company-wide un invoiced totals, or on generated T&M invoices. This prevents your client from being charged twice.

Billing safeguards

Once an amount has been invoiced, some changes would leave your revenue out of step with what your client was actually billed. Forecast prevents these changes and explains why:

• Lowering a price below the invoiced amount: You can raise a Deliverable's price, or lower it as far as the amount already invoiced, but no further.
• Deleting an invoiced Deliverable: A Deliverable that has been invoiced can't be deleted. To remove it, delete the invoice first.
• Moving already-billed work into a fixed fee Deliverable: Tasks or expenses already invoiced as T&M can't be associated with a fixed fee Deliverable.
• Pricing a Deliverable that holds billed work: A Deliverable containing work already invoiced as T&M can't be given a price.
