Narrative:
I was working sector 16 with two denver departures, on fritto arrival, on lus department one over flight at FL240 and a safe departure. The first den departure was clrd to FL260 on departure trans, the fritto arrival was given 150 fritto, the saf departure came off climbing to 140 as per clearance. The abq departure to lus came off climbing to 170. With the congestion in the area and activity involved I didn't see the confliction until conflict alert was activated. I hurried the abq departure thru 150 and when I saw that that was not going to work I turned the saf departure to a 270 degree and the abq departure to a 075 heading.
