A Perdoo alternative from goal to finished project
In FlexiProject a strategic goal links to projects with their own schedule, budget and risk register. See it on a test account or ask for a demo.
FlexiProject key strengths
A good Perdoo alternative covers five areas where goals become project work.
Turn a goal into a project plan with dates.
Tasks sit on any number of levels and link through four dependency types with a fixed lag. The critical path and the baseline show which dates hold the project together.
Spread the forecast of each budget line over time.
Each budget line has a forecast by date, and some entries follow the dates of linked tasks. Actuals are assigned to the same lines, next to the plan.
Record what may stop a project from delivering.
A risk has an owner, a response plan and a score on a matrix with your scales. It is tied to the task it affects, and its budget impact is visible.
See every project behind a goal in one view.
Costs, revenues and deviations of all projects add up in the portfolio. In a simulation you switch projects off and see the effect on the portfolio results at once.
Link goals to the projects that carry them out.
A goal is measured with KPIs that hold a starting, target and current value. Projects attach to goals with their level of impact, so progress on a goal rests on project data.

A Perdoo alternative where goals and projects share data
Progress on a goal depends on the projects that deliver it. In FlexiProject the KPIs of a goal sit next to the schedules, budgets and risks of its projects. The board sees in one place whether the plan for a goal still holds and which project puts it at risk. Nobody has to collect the data from several tools.
flexible configuration
Your own project attributes and shared projects
Custom project attributes record what your company tracks, such as a cost centre, a priority or a value calculated by a formula. A project can belong to several work areas at once, so an initiative shared by departments is run in one place. The administrator adds fields in the interface, without code.
