The schedule, charter, budget and risk register live in FlexiProject as one system. That makes FlexiProject a GanttPRO alternative a PMO can test on its projects. Book a demo.
Both systems have a Gantt chart, a critical path and a baseline. FlexiProject is a GanttPRO alternative with five modules for a PMO: project charter, approval paths, risk register, budget with revenues and project products.
You start every project from a charter with the goal, scope, stakeholders, milestones and business case. You prepare a separate charter template for each project category. The sponsor approves the charter before the team books any resources. While the project runs, you compare the current plan and scope against it.
A baseline, a budget and a change request all travel an approval path that you set up yourself. The path can have several stages, and you assign the decision maker by their role in the project. Every decision records its author, date and comment. When the board asks who agreed to the new date, you find the answer in the approval history.
Every project has its own risk register. For each risk you record the probability, the impact, the owner and the response plan. You set the risk matrix once, in a 3×3, 5×5 or custom scale, so every project is scored the same way. You link a risk to a schedule task, and you see the risks of every project in the portfolio.
In the project budget you plan costs and revenues, so you see the profit right away. You link budget items to schedule tasks, and cash flow spreads across the coming months. Next to the plan and the spend you see the forecast final cost. You approve every budget change as a new version.
You list the products the project has to deliver and link them to schedule tasks. Each product has acceptance criteria, an owner and a deadline. The sponsor accepts each product in turn, so the team knows what has to be produced and how far it has come.
You score ideas against criteria the PMO sets. Approved projects move into the portfolio, where you see their budgets, risks and milestones. Portfolio dashboards pull data straight from the projects, so nobody collects status updates by email. At the recurring review, the PMO brings the board current numbers.
You set fields, views, dashboards, approval paths and templates yourself, without a developer. Each division or subsidiary gets its own workspace with its own charter layout and decision path. You sync users and the department structure from Microsoft Entra ID. That is why FlexiProject is a GanttPRO alternative for groups with several subsidiaries too.
On a building site, the completion date and the budget matter most. FlexiProject keeps the plan, the costs and the risk register in one system. The site manager and the office then work from the same numbers.
Explore construction
In a services company, margin and team utilization matter most. In FlexiProject you set revenues against costs for every project and see the workload of your people across the whole portfolio.
Explore professional services
Launching a new product depends on suppliers, tooling and the production start date. The schedule, the budget and the risks of that project sit together in FlexiProject, so the plant and the project team plan together.
Explore manufacturing
Energy, pharma, R&D, finance and public administration each run projects their own way. You set up templates, approval paths and fields in FlexiProject for every one of them. Browse the full list of industries and find your fit.

Yes. FlexiProject is a good GanttPRO alternative when a PMO manages the projects and the board asks about the state of the whole portfolio. Next to the schedule you get a project charter, approved baselines, a budget with revenues, a risk register and recurring reviews. All these modules form one project management software, where you run a project from idea to closure.
Yes. FlexiProject is a good GanttPRO alternative because you run the portfolio here as an ongoing process. You score ideas before they become projects. Approved projects join portfolios and programs, and budgets and risks roll up to portfolio level. At recurring reviews you compare every project against the same criteria in project portfolio software.
Yes. Contributors work in a task list, a Gantt chart and a Kanban board tool, three views of the same schedule. They also report progress and time from a mobile app. The PMO sets up the charter, the scoring and the approval paths once, and project managers then reuse the ready templates. Team members get their licences free, with no limit on the number of users.
Yes. You can finish current schedules in GanttPRO and start new projects in FlexiProject already. Recurring tasks that belong to no project you run in operational task software. New projects start from templates, so they have a charter, a budget and a risk register from day one. Once every project is in FlexiProject, the portfolio report covers the whole company and keeps the same layout every month.
Yes. In project scheduling software you save a baseline and see the variance on the Gantt chart. You approve the baseline through an approval path, and every approved version stays there for comparison. You raise a date change as a request with a justification. You see the current and the proposed plan side by side before a decision maker approves the change. Tasks also carry warning icons for risks, budget and products.
Yes. You open every schedule in a Gantt chart tool, where you link tasks with four dependency types. A dependency can carry a fixed lead or lag. The critical path is calculated automatically, so you see straight away which tasks drive the end date. Durations count in working days from the project calendar. You export the finished schedule to PDF, PNG or an MS Project file.
Yes. You break the project into any number of levels: phases, sub-phases and work packages. Progress on phases and on the whole project is calculated automatically from the tasks below them. You tie the work breakdown structure in project planning software to resources, the budget and products, so every package has people and costs assigned. A project template carries the whole structure into the next project.
Yes. You see workload next to the Gantt chart and broken down by department, across every project at once. Each person’s availability accounts for leave and their contract hours, and you import leave from Outlook. When you assign a task above availability, resource management software warns you. You also check the load of a whole department before a new project starts.
Yes. You plan costs and revenues in one budget, so you see the project’s profit as you go. Next to the plan and the spend you have the forecast final cost, and cash flow spreads across the coming months. In GanttPRO the budget covers cost calculated from resource rates, with no revenue side. You approve every change in project budget software as a new version.
People log hours on the tasks they work on. They report time in the browser or from the mobile app. In time tracking software you compare planned and actual time on every task. You also see how many hours of the original estimate remain. A project manager spots early which tasks need more work than the plan allowed.
Yes. Every project has its own register in project risk software. For each risk you record probability, impact, owner, response plan and attachments. An administrator sets the risk categories and the scoring matrix, so every project is assessed the same way. GanttPRO has no built-in risk register. In FlexiProject you see the risks of every project together in a portfolio tab.
The people named in the path you set up yourself approve it. You assign the decision maker by their role in the project, for example the sponsor or the PMO manager. The path can have several stages, in sequence or in parallel. The change request carries a justification and compares the current plan with the proposed one. You use the same project approval software for the charter, the baseline and the budget.
Yes. You link related projects into a program and see their schedules on one timeline. Dependencies connect tasks across projects, so a delivery slip in one project moves dates in the next. You check the impact in a simulation before you approve it. The same project can belong to several programs in program management software.
You score every idea against criteria and weights the PMO sets, for example value, cost, risk and fit with strategy. You send a scoring survey to several reviewers and see their scores side by side. Based on the result you set the order in which projects enter the portfolio. In project scoring software everyone involved in the decision sees the ranking.
Reports come from live project data, with no numbers retyped into a spreadsheet. Status, variance from the baseline, budget, risks and milestones sit in one pack. You prepare a separate set of reports for each department and role. In reporting software the report keeps the same layout every month, so you compare periods easily.
You export schedules from GanttPRO to Excel and import them into FlexiProject with column mapping. You then turn recurring project types into templates. FlexiProject is a GanttPRO alternative you roll out gradually, project by project. In project template software a template holds the schedule, the budget, typical risks and products, so the next project starts with a complete plan.
Team members update tasks, log time and comment the way they would in any web application. Every screen carries contextual help with short videos. Project managers and the PMO also learn the charter, the budget and the reviews. You keep company standards and instructions in knowledge base software, so the team reads them without leaving the system.
The PMO sets the date of each review. Project managers update their data before the deadline. The schedule, the budget, the risks and the milestones feed a report in the company template. At the meeting you discuss the finished material and make decisions. Decisions and management comments stay archived in project review software.
Yes. Each division or subsidiary has its own workspace with templates, project charters, approval paths and a user list. Head office sets the shared standard, and the same project can be visible in several workspaces. In workspace software you also set who sees which projects. The interface works in 28 languages, and every user picks their own. You set permissions separately for project tabs, for example the budget and the risks.
Yes. You choose the cloud or an installation on your own servers, with the same functionality in both models. GanttPRO runs only in the vendor’s cloud. For companies that keep data on their own premises, FlexiProject is a GanttPRO alternative on your own servers. In the cloud version you store data in the European Economic Area. You get every module of strategic project management software in both models.
Yes. Audited organizations need approval paths, version history on baselines and budgets, and a risk register that rolls up across the portfolio. In FlexiProject you get these as standard. Every change records its author, date and new value. You run strategic goals and the projects linked to them in strategic goal software. You gather the documentation an auditor expects as a by-product of ordinary project work.
Book a demo and we will show FlexiProject on one of your own projects. You will see the project charter, the schedule with a baseline, the budget with revenues and the risk register. We will walk through the portfolio, the scoring and the approval paths together with your PMO. After the session you can judge whether FlexiProject is a good GanttPRO alternative for your company.
