A Kelloo alternative with project management methodology

In FlexiProject, the PMO runs the charter, baseline and risk register next to the portfolio and resources. That makes FlexiProject a Kelloo alternative worth testing on your own data.

FlexiProject

FlexiProject key strengths

A good Kelloo alternative must cover five areas of PMO work: task structure, project charter, risks, deliverables and templates.

Build the work structure, not just a timeline of projects.

Tasks sit on as many levels as the work needs, with four relationship types and a critical path. Move one date and the dependent tasks follow.

Project schedule in FlexiProject project management tool with department, owner, and progress columns organized by project phases

Approve the charter in the system, not on a printout.

The charter pulls data from the schedule, the risks and the budget, so you never retype the same numbers. Every approved version stays in the archive.

Project budget module in FlexiProject project management tool with custom attributes: cost center, expense type, vendor, and Capex/Opex classification

Keep risks in a register, not in a dropdown field.

Each risk has an owner, a response plan and a place on the risk matrix. You link it to the schedule task it affects.

Agree what the project delivers before it starts.

Each deliverable has an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria. You link it to the tasks that produce it, and its document patterns go into the template.

Project charter in FlexiProject PPM with sections for project information, schedule with milestones, risk matrix, and budget and benefits

Start a repeatable project from a ready standard.

One template carries the schedule, the budget, the risk list and the deliverables. A new project opens with the whole set in place, with dates counted in working days from the start.

key strengths

Planning and delivery in one project

The approved baseline, the budget and the risk register belong to the same project in FlexiProject. When a date moves, you see the deviation from the baseline on the Gantt chart. The steering committee works from the same numbers as the project manager. That makes FlexiProject a good Kelloo alternative when a board or a project management office approves the projects.

flexible configuration

Configuration without a developer

You configure charters, templates and approval paths in the application, without a developer and without an implementation consultant. Each division gets its own work area with its own charters, templates and paths. Shared documents apply across the company, and one project can appear in several areas. That makes FlexiProject a Kelloo alternative for groups with several divisions or companies too.

When does a project management system become essential?

Kelloo alternative for select industries

Manufacturing

Launching a new product depends on suppliers, tooling and a fixed start of production. At each schedule task you see the risks and budget lines that affect it.

Kelloo alternative: frequently asked questions

Kelloo alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Kelloo alternative?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Kelloo alternative when a project management office runs the portfolio. Every project then needs a charter, a baseline and a risk register. You plan resource capacity and portfolio priorities together with those records. A project moves all the way from a scored idea, through an approved plan, to project closure. You run every stage in one project management software.

Is FlexiProject a good Kelloo alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Kelloo alternative for portfolio management, because every project in the portfolio carries a charter, a baseline and a risk register. You see the risks of every project in one portfolio tab. In a simulation you switch off selected projects and see the effect on the indicators right away. You run the portfolio budget, scoring and roadmap in one project portfolio software.

Does FlexiProject also cover work outside projects?

Yes. You run the everyday work of a department that does not belong to any project in the operational task module. You assign operational tasks to people the same way as project tasks. A department manager sees both parts of the team’s work in one system. Each person’s availability includes leave and working hours, and an overload triggers a warning.

Schedule and planning

Does FlexiProject have a Gantt chart with task dependencies?

Yes. On the Gantt chart you set all four dependency types, with lead and lag time. When you move a task, the dates of dependent tasks recalculate automatically. On the critical path you see the tasks that decide the project end date. In Kelloo dependencies link only milestones, and a broken dependency raises a warning flag. Read more on our Gantt chart tool page.

Does FlexiProject have a schedule baseline?

Yes. You save an approved schedule as a baseline, and you see the deviation from it on the Gantt chart. Every later approved version stays in place, so a year on you can compare any two of them. Kelloo’s documentation describes no baseline, and the comparison it offers covers portfolio scenarios. Find the version history in the project plan module.

How do you change an approved plan in FlexiProject?

You raise the change as a request with a justification, and it goes through an approval path. You see the planned and the requested end date and budget in the change request, with the difference. The decision maker weighs the scale of the change before approving it. Every decision records an author, a date and a comment. In Kelloo you move the work by hand, and a broken milestone dependency raises a flag. You set the steps and decision makers in the project approval software.

Budget, risk and project scope

Does FlexiProject have a risk register?

Yes. The risk register is part of every project. Each risk has an owner, a response plan and a place on a matrix you set at 3×3, 5×5 or your own scale. In Kelloo risk is a lookup value on a project field, without a risk card or a response plan. In FlexiProject risks also feed a report in the project review module.

How do you run a project budget in FlexiProject?

You plan costs and revenue in one budget, so you see the project margin right away. You link budget lines to tasks, and moving a task also moves the expense date. You approve every budget change as a new version. In Kelloo the cost of work comes from resource rates, and you enter budget, costs and benefits separately in each scenario. Read the details on our project budget software page.

Does FlexiProject describe project deliverables?

Yes. Each deliverable has an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria. You link a deliverable to the tasks that produce it, so you describe scope through results. You record excluded scope separately and pass it to the sponsor for approval. Kelloo’s documentation describes no deliverables dimension of a plan. You keep the document patterns for deliverables in the knowledge base module.

Portfolio, PMO and reporting

How do you score projects in the portfolio in FlexiProject?

You set the scoring criteria and their weights yourself, with a separate model for each project type. You send a scoring survey to several reviewers and see the weighted average and each reviewer’s answers. In Kelloo you rank projects with one scorecard for the whole organization, with a cut-off line. In FlexiProject you score a project again during delivery in the project scoring software.

How do you run a program of several projects in FlexiProject?

A program combines the schedules of several projects into one shared plan. Dependencies link tasks across projects, so moving one date moves the next ones. You check the effect of a change in a what-if simulation before you change dates. Kelloo’s documentation describes no program object. The same project can belong to several programs, which we describe on our program management module page.

What reports do you get from FlexiProject?

You build reports in a report builder, without coding, and export them to Excel with filters kept. Next to work, resources and finance, you also report on risks, deliverables and plan changes. Each department can keep its own set of reports. Kelloo has dashboards and a report builder that cover work, resources and finance. We show sample reports on our reporting software page.

Migration and rollout

How do you move from Kelloo to FlexiProject?

Start with the data you already have. You pull resources, work and financial data out of Kelloo through its REST API or by exporting views and reports. You import schedules into FlexiProject from Excel with column mapping, or from MS Project. You move people into the resource management software together with their leave and working hours. That way the Kelloo alternative enters the company step by step, project by project.

Does FlexiProject work with Jira?

Yes. You import tasks from Jira with JQL queries, with owner mapping. Developers keep working in their own tool, and the project manager sees their tasks on the schedule. You run the project deadline, budget and risks in FlexiProject, and the PMO gets a full view of the portfolio. Check how the Jira integration works.

What does a FlexiProject rollout look like?

Rollout and configuration for your organization are included in the license. The PMO sets up charters, templates and approval paths in the admin interface, without changes to the code. You import schedules from Excel or MS Project, and you save a finished project as a template. You get a test and training environment together with the license. You collect the team’s hours on tasks in the time tracking module.

Licensing and security

How does FlexiProject licensing work?

In FlexiProject a license covers a user, and its level sets the scope of permissions. You add free users who complete and edit their assigned tasks without a limit. One full license for an administrator is enough to start. In Kelloo the price depends on the number of resources you plan, and a license is consumed by every named resource and group member. Find the rates on the FlexiProject pricing page.

Can you install FlexiProject on your own server?

Yes. For companies that must keep data on their own premises, FlexiProject is a Kelloo alternative that runs on your own servers. Kelloo runs only in the vendor’s cloud. On your own servers you run the server version of the system with no functional limits. In the cloud version, FlexiProject data is stored in the European Economic Area.

Does FlexiProject support SSO and two-factor authentication?

Yes. You log in through Microsoft Entra ID, and you sync users and the organization structure from Entra ID or Active Directory. You secure the account with two-factor authentication. Connections are encrypted with TLS, and you restore the system from a backup at a chosen point in time. Kelloo also offers SAML sign-in through Entra ID and Okta. We describe the security settings on the system configuration page.
