For small and mid-size organizations

Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, designed for Small and Medium Organizations

$8,000 a year, unlimited users and guests. Portfolio visibility, program management, resource planning and work intake — the same product large enterprises run, without per-seat pricing and without an implementation project to get there.

Smaller organizations get the worst of both worlds

Most portfolio tools are built for a hundred-person PMO and priced per seat, so the smaller you are the worse the deal gets. The problems do not scale down with you. You still have more requests than people, projects spread across three or four tools, and no single place where the trade-off is visible.

Nobody can see everything at once

Work lives in Jira, Planner, a Microsoft Project file and two spreadsheets. Building one view of it is somebody's Thursday, every week, and the answer is stale before the meeting starts.

Every request feels urgent to whoever raised it

New work arrives by email, in corridors and in the standup. Without a front door and an agreed way to score what comes through it, the order is set by whoever asked most recently or most loudly.

You find out you are over-committed too late

With forty or four hundred people, the same two are on everything. You discover it in delivery rather than in planning, because nothing tested the commitment against who was actually free.

Getting started

Three steps, and none of them is a migration

1. Connect the tools you already use

Two-way integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Planner, Project for the Web, Smartsheet and monday.com. Nothing is migrated and nobody records their work twice — the portfolio fills from live project data.

2. Put a front door on new work

Requests arrive through a form instead of a corridor, get scored against criteria agreed in advance, and join a ranked queue. Weighted scoring, MoSCoW or ICE — whichever your organization will actually use.

3. Run the cadence

AI-written status assembled from live data, 200+ Power BI reports, and a portfolio view leadership can open themselves. The monthly assembly job mostly disappears.

What you get

What changes in the first quarter

What that looks like in practice

What you get back

One place to look

Every project from every connected tool in one portfolio, with status, dates, budget and owner alongside each other. No assembly step, and no version that is a week out of date.

Intake your team will actually use

A single front door for new requests, scored on criteria everyone agreed in advance, so the ranking survives the question “why is that one above mine?”

Capacity you can check before you say yes

Availability calculated from real work weeks and calendars. “Can we take this on as well?” becomes “here is what would have to move for it to fit.”

Why smaller organizations choose PPM Express

One price, unlimited people

$8,000 a year covers everyone — project managers, sponsors, executives and external guests. Adding a viewer costs nothing, so the people who need visibility actually get it instead of being screenshotted a dashboard.

No implementation project

Nothing to migrate and no consultants required. Connect the tools your teams already use and the portfolio fills from data they are already maintaining.

It grows with you, not against you

The same product runs portfolios of hundreds of projects at much larger organizations. You are not buying a starter tier you will outgrow, and there is no seat count to renegotiate when you hire.

Your portfolio data stays yours

Isolated to your tenant and enforced with your organization’s verified sign-in, with US or EU data residency.

Fast at portfolio size

Financial data is cached and refreshed when a project actually changes, so a portfolio of hundreds opens in seconds rather than making you wait.

What it does

Four things, done properly

See the work. Decide what happens next. Check you have the people.

A smaller organization does not need less portfolio management — it needs the same answers with far less overhead to get them. Four capabilities cover most of what a growing organization actually asks of a portfolio, and all four are included in the $8,000 plan.

See everything

Portfolio visibility, without the assembly

One live view of every project across Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Planner, Smartsheet and monday.com. Status, dates, owners, budget and progress read straight from the tools your teams already update, so the portfolio is current without anybody maintaining it.

Portfolio and program management

Group projects into programs and portfolios that match how you actually run — by department, product line, client or funding source. Roll up status, budget, forecast and benefits at each level, so a program lead and an executive see the same numbers at the depth each needs.

Reporting that arrives on its own

AI-written project status assembled from live data, more than 200 ready-made Power BI reports, and a portfolio view sponsors can open themselves. Unlimited guests means giving a board member read access costs nothing.

Decide and commit

New work intake, with a queue people accept

Requests and ideas come in through a form rather than a hallway, carrying the context needed to judge them. Score against weighted criteria, MoSCoW or ICE, review at a gate, and convert what is approved into a project with the business case still attached.

Resource planning against real availability

Plan people by role and skill across every project, with capacity calculated from actual work weeks, calendars and exceptions rather than an assumed eight-hour day. Over-allocation surfaces before you commit, and logged time feeds utilization and cost without a second system.

Decisions that reach delivery

Once a decision is made it is stamped on the project and published back, so the order agreed in the review is the order the delivery tools reflect. Budgets and benefits stay attached, which means the next planning round starts from evidence.

Common questions

What smaller organizations ask before they commit

Frequently asked questions

Portfolio management for small and mid-size organizations, answered.

How much does PPM Express cost for a smaller organization?

PPM Express Enterprise is $8,000 per year, billed annually, with unlimited users and guests. That is the whole price — there is no per-seat component, so it does not change when you hire, and adding executives or external stakeholders as viewers costs nothing. There is a thirty-day trial, and a full refund within thirty days of purchase if it is not right.

Is the $8,000 plan a cut-down version?

No. Project, program and portfolio management, resource planning and utilization with unlimited resources, financials and benefit realization, innovation and ideation, roadmaps, OKRs, unlimited time tracking, the 200+ Power BI report pack, AI project status reports and all integrations are included on Enterprise. Ultra, at $25,000 a year, is aimed at large enterprises and public companies that need the additional security, support and governance options rather than different core functionality.

We are about sixty people. Are we too small for this?

A meaningful share of our customers are organizations of this size. The threshold is not headcount, it is whether you run enough projects across enough tools that no single person can hold the picture in their head — and whether more work is being asked for than the team can absorb. If both are true, the portfolio problem is real regardless of how many people you employ.

We do not have a PMO. Does this still make sense?

Yes, and it is a common starting point. In smaller organizations the portfolio is usually run by an operations lead, a head of delivery or the COO alongside another job. PPM Express is built so the portfolio maintains itself from the delivery tools rather than requiring someone to keep it current, which is precisely what makes it workable without dedicated PMO headcount.

Our teams already use Jira, Planner and spreadsheets. Why add another tool?

None of those can answer a portfolio question. Each holds the truth about its own projects, in its own structure, and the only way to compare across them is for a person to rebuild the picture by hand every month. PPM Express sits above them and reads from them. Your teams keep working exactly where they work now and nothing is recorded twice.

How long does it take to get running?

There is no data migration to run. Because PPM Express connects to tools you already use, the portfolio fills from live project data as soon as the integrations are connected — usually within the trial. Configuring scoring models, portfolio structure and reports is where the time goes, and that is measured in days rather than the multi-month implementations this category is known for.

Will people actually use it?

Most portfolio rollouts fail because delivery teams are asked to record their work twice — once in their own tool, once in the portfolio system. Predictably they stop, and the portfolio goes stale. PPM Express reads from the delivery tools instead, so the only people who change how they work are the ones running the portfolio, and they are the ones who wanted it.

How do we handle new requests coming in from everywhere?

Put a front door on it. Requests and ideas are submitted through a form that captures the context needed to judge them, scored against criteria agreed in advance — weighted scoring, MoSCoW or ICE — and reviewed at a gate. What is approved converts into a project with the business case still attached, so the reasoning survives into delivery.

How do we tell whether we have the people to deliver what we have committed to?

Check capacity before you approve, not after. PPM Express derives availability from each person’s work week, calendar and calendar exceptions, then plans by role and skill across every project. Over-allocation is shown at the point of commitment, so “can we take this on as well?” gets a real answer instead of an optimistic one.

Can our leadership see the portfolio without us building them a deck?

Yes, and because guests are unlimited there is no reason not to give them access. Budgets, forecasts, benefits, dates and resource plans are live in PPM Express, with AI-written status reports and more than 200 Power BI reports. Leadership opens the portfolio rather than waiting for someone to assemble a view of it.

What happens when we grow?

Nothing you have to renegotiate. The price does not move with headcount, and the same product runs portfolios of hundreds of projects at much larger organizations, so there is no starter tier to outgrow or migration to a different edition. If you later need the additional security and support options, moving to Ultra credits the unused remainder of what you have already paid.

Where is our data stored, and how is it protected?

Data residency is available in the US and the EU, with full GDPR compliance and custom DPAs where your legal team needs them. Sign-in runs through Microsoft 365 or Okta SSO, with centralized user management, advanced permissions, audit logs and strict tenant isolation. None of that is reserved for the larger plan.

Where is our portfolio data stored, and how is it protected?

Data residency is available in the US and the EU, with full GDPR compliance and custom DPAs where your legal team needs them. Microsoft 365 and Okta SSO handle identity, so joiners and leavers follow the directory you already run. Each customer's data is strictly isolated, and detailed audit logs record what changed and who changed it.
