**The Mark II update of PRODUCER introduces several features designed to enhance project management and collaboration for video production teams of all sizes.**

[The PRODUCER SaaS video workflow tool](https://the-producer.io) is celebrating hitting 10,000 users partly by rolling all the feedback of that growing installed base into developing and releasing a range of new features to further enhance the software.

These include:

**Project Calendar (Open Beta): **PRODUCER now includes a Project Calendar, offering a visual representation of project steps, tasks, and dependencies displayed as a Gantt Chart. Teams can now see the entire project timeline at a glance, identifying potential bottlenecks and ensuring timely progress. The project calendar is currently in Beta to be released within the coming weeks.

**Enhanced Status Updates: **The revamped status updates feature offers a detailed and accurate representation of project progress. Users can select from six different statuses: "Not Started," "In Progress," "On Hold," "Needs Review," "Changes Requested," and "Approved." 

**Step assignments: **Steps can be assigned to any person inside the project.

**External Links: **The new version also includes the highly requested ability to add external links. Users can add a direct link to a Google sheet, cloud storage files, websites, and other resources directly into their projects, providing greater flexibility and eliminating the need to move files around.

**Numerous UI & UX improvements: **Also added in the PRODUCER Mk II are numerous improvements such as the option to duplicate existing projects, multi-field editing, list views with tags, simplified guest invitations and much more.

PRODUCER subscriptions start at $25 per month for an annual subscription and $29 per month for a monthly subscription for one user including 50 GB storage.
