Both sit within the Lucen platform along with two new products currently in beta, Lucen Plan and Lucen Flowchart.<\/p><p>\n<b>Introducing the Clarity Platform<\/b><\/p><p>\nOrganizations have more tools than ever to manage work, but making that work clear is still a challenge. As information flows across multiple systems, teams are forced to translate progress into updates for others, often losing meaning along the way. What gets delivered is work, but not always shared understanding.<\/p><p>\nLucen was built to solve that gap. A clarity platform sits alongside execution tools, such as PowerPoint and Excel, not to replace them, but to transform what they produce into clear, actionable insights that stakeholders can immediately understand and act on. Where project management tools focus on doing, a clarity platform focuses on communicating: turning complex work data into executive-ready visuals, timelines, and plans that drive alignment across an organization.<\/p><p>\nBy operating natively inside Microsoft 365 apps, Lucen makes this possible without adding new tools or new workflows. Teams get clarity. Leaders get confidence. And alignment follows.<\/p><p>\n\u201cFor years, teams have had no shortage of tools to manage work, but they still struggle to communicate it clearly,\u201d said Omair Sarwar, CEO of Lucen. \u201cThat gap between execution and understanding is where alignment breaks down. Lucen exists to make that gap disappear, so teams can spend less time explaining their work and more time moving it forward.\"<\/p><p>\n<b>How Lucen Works Within Microsoft 365<\/b><\/p><p>\nLucen operates directly within Microsoft 365 applications, such as PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, Planner and Azure DevOps. The platform also integrates with leading third-party work management tools to extract and transform data into presentation-ready timelines, plans, diagrams, and time-based insights for teams.<\/p><p>\n<b>Lucen\u2019s Product Suite<\/b><\/p><p>\nLucen\u2019s integrated products include:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nLucen Timeline (formerly Office Timeline): A PowerPoint-native application that converts project data into professional timelines and Gantt charts. It integrates with Excel, Jira, Smartsheet, and other tools to automatically generate executive-ready visuals.<\/li>\n<li>\nLucen Track (formerly Timeneye): An Excel-native time-tracking and productivity insights tool that helps teams monitor time, analyze performance, and support planning decisions.<\/li>\n<li>\nLucen Plan (beta): An Excel-native planning and work management tool that enables teams to define tasks, manage dependencies, and build organized project plans.<\/li>\n<li>\nLucen Flowchart (beta): A PowerPoint-native diagramming tool that allows users to create flowcharts, processes, and visual frameworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nLucen Timeline and Lucen Track are available today at <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lucensoftware.com&amp;esheet=54534006&amp;newsitemid=20260512228308&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.lucensoftware.com&amp;index=2&amp;md5=05440b063d52776ba3d06adcedf09b42\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">www.lucensoftware.com<\/a>, with both free and paid plans.
