2025 in review

It was a big year for us at Teamwork.com, shaped by what you asked for most. From smarter reporting to powerful AI-driven tools, we shipped scores of features designed to make your work smoother, more predictable, and more profitable.

There were too many release highlights to fit into one post, so we’ve rounded up a few fan favorites in the video below. Here’s to everything we built together in 2025—and to even more in 2026!

Transcript for the video 'Teamwork Product Update 2025':

Hi. I'm Jane, head of product at Teamwork dot com. This year, we focused on making planning your work and resources a little easier, as well as helping you stay on top of your profitability. Besides some great AI features, such as instantly creating a project from a client brief and AI SmartAssign, which instantly helps you select the right person for the right job. Here's some more highlights. Resource management got a big boost this year. From adding skills to further specialize your team, to scenario planning with placeholder resources, to automatically seeing regional holidays with time off. It's now easier than ever to plan like a pro. And not to mention Google Calendar sync. That pulls meetings and events directly into where you manage your team capacity. How's that for accurate availability? Workflows lets you define a set of board stages and automations and apply them across multiple projects. Set it up once, reuse it everywhere, and get a consistent way of working across your team. That means less manual setup, fewer mistakes, and a unified view of work across all of your projects. Multi currency lets you manage clients, projects, and billing in multiple currencies all within Teamwork dot com. You set the currency once at client level, and everything just works, from budgets to time logs, invoices to expenses. Teams can log their time in their local currency. Teamwork dot com looks after the conversion, and your financials can stay accurate. That was a brief look at some of the highlights over twenty twenty five, and you are going to love what's coming in twenty twenty six. Right now, I probably shouldn't even do this, but I'm gonna give you a quick look at what to expect with our brand new overhaul of tentative projects, which will allow you to plan early to understand margins and identify any risks with upcoming work. You'll be able to run what if resourcing scenarios without disrupting any delivery teams. Bridge the gap between your upcoming CRM pipeline and not to mention more confident forecasting.

Coming soon: AI Teammates—your new productivity partners

We’re giving you a sneak preview of our latest feature, set to launch in the new year. 

Unlike standalone AI chatbots or integrations, AI Teammates are deeply connected to your Teamwork.com data—understanding your projects, deadlines, and people—to act with true context and reliability. 

Blog post image

Think of it as like having an extra member of your team who not only knows exactly what needs to be done next, but actually does it. (Plus, they never forget, complain, or take a vacation.)

Soon, you’ll have individual AI Teammates for everything from resource management to financial management and beyond. But first, we’ll be launching with Scout, your personal productivity assistant. Scout is designed to feel like a real teammate: approachable, helpful, and always ready to support the work in front of you. 

Find out more about what Scout and his future assistants will be able to help you with in this blog post, and stay tuned as we roll out the red carpet for the launch of AI Teammates early next year!  


Clearer, more accurate budgeting is here with the Budget Insights Report

Keeping track of budgets across multiple clients and projects just got a whole lot easier. 

We’re introducing the Budget Insights Report—a brand-new, site-wide report designed to help you understand budget performance at a glance, without the manual project-by-project digging.

Blog post image

With this report, you can:

  • See budgets at the client level with roll-up totals and drill down into projects, individual budgets, and task lists.

  • Save hours of reporting time by viewing budget, time, and expense data in one consolidated place.

  • Filter with precision using advanced filters to return exactly the data you need.

  • Understand the “why” behind the numbers thanks to built-in guidance that explains how budget settings, carryovers, and exceptions affect what you’re seeing.

We’ve also added clear callouts for time and expenses that fall outside budget periods or aren’t tied to task list budgets—addressing some of the most common sources of confusion we hear about from customers.

Available on Grow and Scale plans (with some column limits on Grow), you’ll find it in the Reports Gallery—just look for the new Budget Insights Report card. 


Stay in control with Custom Reports Filters 

We're making your wishes for building the perfect report come true. With our new Custom Report Filters, you now have more control over your data—right inside Teamwork.com—without needing to export and manually clean things up.

This update introduces a user-friendly filter builder with smarter, data-type-aware operators like is, is not, contains, starts with, and ends with. The result? Reports that are more precise, reusable, and ready to share the moment they’re created.

Here’s why it matters:

  • Refine reports with confidence – Include (or exclude) exactly the data you want, without relying on exact matches only.

  • Cut out manual cleanup – Spend less time editing exported files and more time acting on insights.

  • Better scheduled reports – Create reports that stay accurate and shareable without extra tweaking.

  • Smarter filtering by project – Filter projects by keywords (like “Q4-25” or “Promotion”), or omit them entirely for cleaner results.

We’ve also refreshed the Filters UI in Custom Reports and introduced operators across most fields, laying the foundation for even more advanced filtering throughout the reporting experience.

Available now in Custom Reports for Grow and Scale plans, this update helps you get exactly the data you need every single time.   


Auto-time logging in Desk just got an upgrade

A few months ago, we released an update that allows you to automatically track time spent on Desk tickets back into Teamwork.com for use in reports, invoicing, and profitability tracking. 

Now, we’re expanding that previous update to include more ways for you to integrate time tracking between Desk and Teamwork.com, with the option to log time to an associated project or custom project/task.

The “Log time” modal will guide you through the process so you can choose where exactly you want to log time to so there’s never any confusion, and to make sure your billable time is always accurate no matter where you are within the app. 

Available now in Custom Reports for Grow and Scale plans, this update helps you get exactly the data you need every single time.   


Efficiently manage your team’s time with enhancements to Time Approvals

For Scale users, get ready for two new enhancements to our existing Time Approvals feature.

We’ve added new controls to make Time Approvals clearer and more accurate than ever.

  • Assign specific approvers to individuals or teams for less clutter and more clarity. Now you only see, review, and approve the timesheets for those that report to you. 

  • Approved timesheets now lock automatically to prevent further unwanted amendments—no surprise changes!

Both of these changes help you effectively and efficiently manage your team’s time to ensure the correct balance of billable client work—learn more here.


New options for logging time? You bet.

A quick win for those of you who’ve asked for a task to be included in every single time log. 

Before, you could log time to either a task or a project overall. Now, within the Settings area for any project, you’ll see a new “Logging Time” option. From there, you’ll have the ability to choose between:

  • Time can be logged on a project or task

  • Time can only be logged on a task

Blog post image

Selecting “Time can only be logged on a task” and mandating that a task has to be included in every time log will help with specificity and ensure time logs are affiliated with actual, unique tasks. Overall, this offers more granular time logging control and rules to better understand your team’s time.

Note that this isn’t a site-wide setting, so you’ll still be able to more granularly manage your preferences project-by-project.
