We’re thrilled to announce that LiquidPlanner won the SIIA Software CODiE Award for Best Project Management Solution. It’s big news for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that this prestigious award honors leading products and services in the software and information industry, and the CODiE is the industry’s only peer-reviewed awards.

In other words, receiving a CODiE Award is the most powerful market validation for a product’s vision, overall industry impact, and innovative ways. And that’s why we did some yelling and high-fiving around the offices today after the announcement.

How did we get here?

From the beginning, we set out to build collaborative project management software that stood out from the pack. LiquidPlanner was a departure from the rigidity (and fallibility) of managing projects based on single-point estimates that depended on manual updates and caused more frustration and busted budgets than any one person or business needed.

For over eight-plus years, we’ve been committed to giving our customer a new way of working—one that aligns teams, builds trust and keeps organizations growing and thriving. Most of the time, we know what our customer is going through (the joys and pain points) because all of our teams use LiquidPlanner to do their work, too. We rely on customer feedback—internally and externally—to keep improving our product, and so that’s what we do. As an example, in the past year, customer feedback had led us to some new features such as Dashboards, Tags and Card View.

So a big thanks to our peers for giving us such an amazing and hard-won award. What do we do now? Have a drink or two, yes. But now, we put our heads down with determined glee, because we’re just getting started people!
