FlexiProject strengths

You configure these PMO modules yourself in the interface, without a developer and without an implementation consultant. They show best why FlexiProject is a solid Deltek alternative.

Charter with goals, scope and KPIs

Gantt chart and kanban board in the browser

The Gantt chart, the kanban board, the project budget and the risk register run on the same data. A task moved on the chart shows up on the board right away, with no file exports. You open FlexiProject in a browser, so nothing installs on the team’s computers. You report task progress from the mobile app too. For these reasons, FlexiProject is a convenient Deltek alternative for the whole project team.

one licence

Public price list and cost you know upfront

The schedule, budget, risks, portfolios and reviews are modules of one system, so you do not buy them as separate products. The FlexiProject price list is public, and you calculate the cost before you talk to a salesperson. Implementation and configuration for your organization are included in the licence price. That makes FlexiProject a predictable Deltek alternative for companies that plan their tool spending ahead.

Deltek alternative: frequently asked questions

Deltek alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Deltek alternative?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Deltek alternative when a PMO wants the schedule, budget, risks and decisions in one application. Scope, dates, resources and cost connect inside the project plan module. You score ideas and link projects to strategic goals. Approved baselines and budget versions stay in the project history.

In which projects will FlexiProject replace Deltek?

FlexiProject covers the whole project cycle a PMO runs: idea scoring, the charter, the baseline, reviews and closure. Budget, risks and products live in the same system. Programs settled by earned value management under US government contract rules, with IPMDAR reporting, need a tool built around that method. For every other project, FlexiProject is a Deltek alternative you configure without a consultant.

How does a project manager start working in FlexiProject?

A project manager starts from a project created out of a template, with a schedule, budget and risks already in place. Tasks sit on the Gantt chart or on the kanban board module, which reads the same data. Every screen carries a help panel with a link to the relevant user guide page. The interface runs in 28 languages, and each user picks their own.

Is FlexiProject a good Deltek alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Deltek alternative for portfolio management, because portfolios, goals and reviews sit in the same system. The project portfolios module collects the schedules, budgets and risks of every project. In a simulation you switch off selected projects and see how the portfolio indicators change. One project can belong to several portfolios.

Schedule and planning

Does the FlexiProject schedule have a baseline and a critical path?

Yes. On the schedule you set four relationship types, with lead and lag time, and dates recalculate automatically. You see the critical path and save baseline after baseline. Deviations from the baseline show up next to each task, beside icons that flag risk, budget and product warnings.

Does FlexiProject need an installation on the computer?

No. You open FlexiProject in a browser, so nothing installs on the team’s computers. Several people edit the schedule, budget and risks at the same time, and everyone sees the changes. A task moved on the schedule shows up on the kanban board right away, and the linked expense date changes in the budget. You report task progress from the mobile app too, away from the office.

How do you move a schedule from Deltek to FlexiProject?

Export the schedule from Open Plan to MS Project format and import the file into FlexiProject. Tasks, dates and dependencies come across with it. You then refine the structure and assignments in the Gantt chart module. Save the finished project as a template, so the next one starts from the same pattern.

How do you approve a plan change in FlexiProject?

You submit the change as a request with a justification. The request shows the current plan next to the proposed one, so the decision maker weighs the impact first. The decision runs through the project approval module, on a path with several stages. The approved version becomes the new baseline, and the previous one stays in the history for comparison.

Budget, risks and products

Does FlexiProject have a project budget linked to the schedule?

Yes. The project budget module holds cost and revenue in one budget, together with project profit. You link budget lines to tasks, so moving a task also moves the linked expense date. Next to the plan and the cost incurred, you see the forecast to completion. You approve every budget change as a new version.

How do you run a risk register in FlexiProject?

A risk register is part of every project. Each risk carries a score, an owner and a response plan, and you set the risk matrix at 3×3, 5×5 or your own scale. You link a risk to the task it affects. Read more on the project risks module page, and see the risks of every project in the portfolio tab.

Does FlexiProject describe the products a project must deliver?

Yes. Each project product carries an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria. You link the product to the tasks that deliver it, so scope is described through results. You add products to the project template too, together with the schedule and budget.

How do you track schedule and cost deviations in FlexiProject?

Deviations from the baseline show up on the schedule, next to each task. In the budget you compare the plan, the cost incurred and the forecast to completion. Both views sit in the same system, so you do not switch between tools. You also collect deviations across every project in the portfolio view and in the review report.

Portfolio, PMO and reporting

How do you set project priorities in FlexiProject?

You score ideas with your own criteria and weights. You send the scoring survey to several assessors and see the average, the spread and each individual answer. You set separate scoring models for different project types. A project already under way gets scored again, so you decide whether to continue it.

How do you link projects to strategic goals in FlexiProject?

A strategic goal carries a baseline, a target and a current value. Goals form a tree with subgoals, and you link projects to them with a level of influence. Scoring criteria can connect to strategic goals too. The board sees goals, their KPIs and the projects that deliver them on one screen.

How does a PMO run recurring reviews in FlexiProject?

You set the date of each review. In the project reviews module, the report fills itself in from the schedule, the budget and the risk register. The layout follows your company’s template. Past reviews stay in the archive with their decisions and management comments.

Who prepares management reports in FlexiProject?

A PMO builds its own reports without programming, in the project reports module. The ready reports cover risks and plan changes, among other things. You export the data to Excel with the filters kept. Every department can hold its own set of reports and dashboards, built from configurable widgets.

Implementation and configuration

What does a FlexiProject implementation look like?

Implementation and configuration for your organization come inside the licence. The licence also includes test and training environments. Your team practices there on sample data before it runs real projects. You sync users and the department structure from Entra ID or Active Directory, and sign in through SSO.

Can a PMO configure FlexiProject on its own?

Yes. You set project charters, templates, approval paths, roles and custom fields from the interface, without a developer and without an implementation consultant. Every division keeps its own standard in the workspace module, with its own charter templates and approval paths. One project can sit in several workspaces at once.

Can you try FlexiProject before you buy it?

Yes. You open a trial account yourself, without a form, and get full access for thirty days. You check the schedule, budget, risks and portfolio on your own project. If you prefer a walkthrough, contact us and we show the system on an example from your own project.

Licences, integrations and security

Is the FlexiProject price list public?

Yes. The price list is public, so you calculate the cost before the first sales call. The number of free users is unlimited. A free user carries out and edits the tasks assigned to them, and work at the project level needs a standard licence.

Can you install FlexiProject on your own server?

Yes. The server version of FlexiProject covers the same scope as the cloud version, with no missing functionality. For organizations that must keep data in house, FlexiProject is a Deltek alternative you run on your own server. You install the server version on Windows Server with IIS, SQL Server and MongoDB. In the cloud version, data stays inside the European Economic Area.

Which integrations come with the FlexiProject licence?

The licence includes Jira integration, Microsoft Teams integration and SSO sign-in through Microsoft Entra ID. An open API covers your own integrations. You exchange schedules with MS Project in both directions, and report task progress from the mobile app.
