AI project portfolio management software for enterprises and SMBs.

Visit PPM Express

PPM Express is enterprise project portfolio management (PPM) software that solves the problem of fragmented project data and limited visibility across large organizations. It connects delivery tools teams already use into a single governed portfolio, eliminating the need for manual status collection and guesswork around resource capacity. The product addresses the common issues of untrustworthy status updates, unknown resource commitments, and the inability to answer funding questions in real time.

The software offers modules for strategic portfolio management, resource capacity planning and utilization, new work intake and ideation, and what-if scenario planning. It integrates with tools including Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project, Planner, Smartsheet, and monday.com. AI features include automated status report drafting and conversational AI that allows leaders to query the portfolio through assistants like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT. The platform provides over 200 prebuilt reports and a Power BI pack for reporting and analytics.

PPM Express is designed for enterprise PMOs, small to medium-sized organizations, and specific industries such as banking, insurance, manufacturing, IT, engineering, and operations. It is packaged with unlimited users on every plan, offered as a flat annual subscription without per-seat pricing. A free 30-day supervised trial with onboarding is available, and the product is offered in Enterprise and Ultra editions, with a separate AI-enabled plan.
