A Broadcom Clarity alternative for the PMO

See the project charter, the risk register, a budget with a forecast and a portfolio review. Book a demo and we will show them on your own projects.

FlexiProject

FlexiProject strengths

The five modules below are part of the standard FlexiProject scope. The PMO builds its company standard for running projects out of them. You switch a module on in a project and set its fields yourself. That is why FlexiProject is a Broadcom Clarity alternative where the PMO works by its own rules.

Project products as a ready module

Every project has a list of products handed over to the sponsor. A product has an owner, an acceptance date, criteria and the tasks that deliver it. You also save the product list in a template, so the next project of that type starts with a ready set.

Project products as a ready module

Project charter with version history

The charter holds the goal, scope, success measures, milestones and business case. You link charter fields to the schedule, the risk register and the budget, so you never retype the numbers. The approved version stays in the archive with a comment from the person who approved it.

Approval paths with any number of steps

You decide who approves the charter, the plan and a budget change, in what order and in what role. Each decision saves the person, the date and a comment. An auditor checks the decision history in the system, and the PMO does not have to collect files for them.

Reviews with a decision archive

Every review has a fixed date. The report shows numbers straight from the schedule, risks and budget, so nobody collects them by hand. Management decisions stay in the archive next to the data they were based on.

Template with schedule, budget, risks and products

A template holds the schedule, budget, cost items, typical risks and products in one package. Projects of the same type start with a ready set, and the PMO keeps one standard without checking every plan by hand.

project products

Project products with acceptance criteria

Products are the part of the plan that stays fixed even when task dates slip. Each product has an owner, an acceptance date and the criteria the sponsor accepts it against. You link a product to the tasks that produce it. When a phase slips, the task shows an icon for a delivery at risk. That is why FlexiProject is a Broadcom Clarity alternative where the PMO reports the project by what it has handed over.

system configuration

Configuration without a developer or a consultant

You set the configuration yourself, in an administrator form. You add your own project attributes, switch modules on and off and define roles with permissions. Each workspace gets its own charters, templates and approval paths. Implementation and configuration for your organization are included in the licence. This is how FlexiProject works as a Broadcom Clarity alternative for a PMO that wants to decide about its own system.

Configuration without a developer or a consultant

A Broadcom Clarity alternative in selected industries

R&D organizations

Research projects often change scope during delivery. Products with acceptance criteria, a versioned charter and idea scoring let you compare the whole portfolio, from a grant application to a finished prototype.

See R&D organizations
R&D project management software for research-driven organizations

Manufacturing

You run a plant investment or a new product launch in phases, and each phase ends with a decision. You approve the plan, compare spend against the budget and see the launch date next to other projects in the portfolio.

Manufacturing project management software for industrial production companies

Broadcom Clarity alternative: frequently asked questions

Broadcom Clarity alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Broadcom Clarity alternative?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Broadcom Clarity alternative when the portfolio is run by a PMO that wants to set up its own system. The project charter, risks, products, budget and reviews come as ready modules. You set the configuration without a developer and without an implementation consultant. The whole system works as project management software for the whole company, from idea assessment to project closure.

Is FlexiProject a good Broadcom Clarity alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Broadcom Clarity alternative for portfolio management, because you see scoring, finance and resource workload in one place. In a simulation you switch a project off and see portfolio indicators change right away. A portfolio has its own budget with a reserve and expected NPV, and one project can belong to several portfolios. You run the whole overview in the project portfolio management software.

Can FlexiProject be rolled out gradually, next to our current system?

Yes. In the first months, finance and timesheets can stay in Broadcom Clarity. New projects then start in FlexiProject with a charter, approval paths and reviews. You move schedules with .mpp files or from Excel, and the rest of the data through the open API. You run the goals and portfolios of new projects in the strategic project management software.

Schedule and resources

Does FlexiProject have a Gantt chart with a baseline?

Yes. The schedule has all four dependency types with lead and lag, a critical path and a baseline with variance on the Gantt chart. Broadcom Clarity has a similar planning layer. In FlexiProject you request a change to the approved plan with a justification. You see the planned and the requested project end date, with the difference, in the project schedule module.

Can I move a schedule from MS Project into FlexiProject?

Yes. FlexiProject imports .mpp files and exports to MS Project XML, and you load a schedule from Excel with column mapping. The import carries over phases, dates and dependencies, and from Project Online and Project Server also the resource pool and custom fields. After the import you add the budget, risks and products in the project plan module. You save the finished layout as a template for the next projects of that type.

How does resource planning work in FlexiProject?

You plan named people and departments, with daily availability, hours and holidays imported from Outlook. When you assign a task, you see a warning about exceeded availability. You check workload across the whole organization and by department. Broadcom Clarity plans capacity by role. In FlexiProject you move a task on the Gantt chart and see the workload change right away in the project resource management module.

Budget, risks and products

How does the risk register work in FlexiProject?

The risk register is a built-in project module. You set the matrix yourself, for example 3×3 or 5×5, and define your own categories. Each risk has a card with a response plan, and you can link it to the schedule task it threatens. Broadcom Clarity keeps risks at the investment level. In FlexiProject you see risks from all projects in the portfolio tab and in the project risk module.

How do you run a project budget in FlexiProject?

You keep costs and revenues in a single budget, together with project profit. Next to the plan and the costs incurred, you see a forecast to completion. Every budget version goes through an approval path. Line items are linked to tasks, so a moved task also moves the cash flow. Numbers roll up from a task to the portfolio in the project budget module.

Does FlexiProject have a project products module?

Yes. Products are a ready module in every project. Each product has an owner, an acceptance date, criteria and the tasks that deliver it. In FlexiProject you save the product list in a template too, so the next project has it from the start in project products.

Portfolio, PMO and reporting

How do recurring project reviews work in FlexiProject?

Every review has a fixed date and a list of projects. Managers only fill in what is not already in the system. Data from the schedule, risks and budget goes into the company report template. Management decisions stay in the archive, and you build ad hoc analysis in the project reports module.

How do you score and rank ideas in FlexiProject?

You set your own criteria and weights, and each project type can have a separate scoring model. You send a survey to several reviewers and see the weighted average and each reviewer’s answers. Broadcom Clarity compares investments with scorecards in portfolio scenarios. In FlexiProject you repeat scoring during delivery too, and you compare the results in the project scoring module.

Will the board see goals and projects on one screen?

Yes. Goals form a tree with subgoals, and you link projects to them with a level of influence. Each measure has a baseline, a target and a current value. Broadcom Clarity links investments to goals and key results. In FlexiProject the board sees goals, KPIs and projects on one screen in the strategic goals module.

Implementation and migration

How do we move from Broadcom Clarity to FlexiProject?

You move schedules with .mpp files or from Excel, and the rest of the data through the open API. We start with two current projects and set up a charter, an approval path and a template on them. The rest of the portfolio joins once those projects run. Connections to systems that stay in the company are described in FlexiProject integrations. This way FlexiProject is a Broadcom Clarity alternative that you roll out project by project.

Can we configure FlexiProject without an implementation partner?

Yes. You set the configuration without a developer and without an implementation consultant, and implementation and configuration for your organization are included in the licence. The PMO adds attributes, defines roles with permissions and switches modules on and off by itself. In FlexiProject every business unit gets its own rules in the workspaces module.

Does FlexiProject run on our own servers?

Yes. The server version has the same feature scope as the cloud, and the cloud version stores data in the European Economic Area. Broadcom Clarity also has an edition installed at the customer. In FlexiProject both models include test and training environments in the licence, and you sign in through Microsoft Entra ID. Terms for both variants are described in FlexiProject key strengths.

Languages, licences and integrations

In how many languages is the FlexiProject interface available?

FlexiProject has an interface in 28 languages, and a help panel links to the user guide right on the screen you work on. An international team works in a single system, each person in their own language. Broadcom officially supports seven languages in Clarity, and the customer translates the rest. You will find written material and videos in the knowledge base module.

How does licensing work in FlexiProject?

You pay for people who plan and manage projects. Anyone who only executes and updates assigned tasks works for free, and we do not cap the number of such accounts. One full licence is enough to start, with no minimum number of seats. Broadcom Clarity has three paid licence types, and viewer accounts are sold in packs. Current rates are on the FlexiProject price list.

Is the Jira integration included in the licence?

Yes. Integrations with Jira, MS Project, Excel, Teams and Entra ID, and the open API, are included in the FlexiProject licence. You import tasks from Jira with JQL queries, with owner mapping. In Broadcom Clarity a connection to Jira needs ConnectALL, a separate ValueOps product, or a partner connector. Task status from developers reaches the schedule through the Jira integration.

Contact us and try FlexiProject on two of your projects
