FlexiProject

Modules for the project management office

With Planview, you buy separate products and license them module by module. In FlexiProject, the team and the project management office work on the same data, in one system. Below are five modules where that shows.

See the schedule, budget and risk in one portfolio tab

A portfolio shows the schedule, budget, risks and progress of every project in one tab. A project can belong to several portfolios at once, for example a department portfolio and a strategic one. The portfolio budget carries a reserve and the combined project finances, with deviations from plan.

Start every project with a charter the sponsor approves

Every project starts from a charter with a goal, scope, stakeholders and a business case. You prepare a separate charter template for each project category. The sponsor approves the charter, and every approved version goes to the archive. Data from the schedule, the risk register and the budget appears in the charter automatically.

Set up templates yourself, without a developer

A template covers the schedule, budget, risks and deliverables of a project. You build one in the app, or save a finished project as a template in one click. Durations in the template count in working days from the project start, and you add new templates without a developer.

See costs and revenue next to the schedule

The project budget carries costs and revenue, so you see the project’s margin right away. Next to the plan, you track expenses and the forecast to completion. You link budget lines to schedule tasks, so moving a task also moves the linked expense date.

Keep a fixed cadence for portfolio reviews

You set review dates in advance for every portfolio. Data from the schedule, the budget and the risk register feeds a report in the company’s own template. Leadership decisions and comments from each review stay in the archive.

One product for the whole project lifecycle

From idea to project closure

You score a project idea, and an approved project gets a charter, a schedule with a baseline, a budget and a risk register. You submit a plan change as a request with a justification and an approval. You link related projects into a shared program schedule. At the end, you save a closure charter with lessons for the next project. FlexiProject stays a Planview alternative for the whole project lifecycle.

Configuration and integrations

You configure charters, fields, scoring models and approval paths yourself, in the app. Implementation and configuration for your organization are included in the license price. You connect FlexiProject to Jira, Microsoft Teams and Outlook. When you need a specific integration, we build it with you. That is why FlexiProject stays a Planview alternative even for companies running several tools.

When does a project management system become essential?

A Planview alternative across industries

FlexiProject as a Planview alternative: frequently asked questions

FlexiProject as a Planview alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Planview alternative?

Yes. For a project management office, FlexiProject is a good Planview alternative. You run the project charter, schedule, budget, risk register and portfolios in one project management system. The baseline, budget versions and periodic portfolio reviews sit in the same place. Every project moves from a charter the sponsor approves to a closure charter with lessons for the next one.

Is FlexiProject a good Planview alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Planview alternative for portfolio management. The portfolio budget carries a reserve and an expected NPV. In a simulation, you exclude selected projects and see how the portfolio metrics change. On the attractiveness matrix, you compare a candidate’s business benefit against its complexity. You run the portfolio in strategic project management software, together with goals and their KPIs.

How do we run a program of several linked projects in FlexiProject?

You link related projects into a shared schedule with dependencies in the program management software. When you move a task in one project, the dates of dependent tasks in the other projects recalculate automatically. That way you test a what-if scenario before you decide. A single project can belong to several programs and several portfolios at the same time.

Schedule and project plan

Does FlexiProject have a full schedule and a critical path?

Yes. For planning you get an interactive Gantt chart tool in the system, with all four dependency types plus lead and lag on a relationship. The schedule follows a calendar of working days and holidays. You see the critical path on the chart, and after a plan change the dates of dependent tasks recalculate automatically. You import a ready plan from an MS Project file or from Excel.

Does FlexiProject compare the plan against a baseline?

Yes. You save an approved schedule as a baseline, and you see deviations on the Gantt chart. Every approved version stays on record for comparison. You submit a change as a request with a justification, and you view the current and the proposed plan side by side. The budget has versions approved the same way as the schedule. Details live in the project planning software.

Does FlexiProject have a risk register in every project?

Yes. The risk register is a built-in module in every project. Each risk carries a probability, an impact, an owner and a response plan. You link a risk to a specific schedule task, and you set the risk matrix as 3×3, 5×5 or a custom scale. You see the risks of every project on the portfolio tab. An administrator defines risk categories in the risk management module.

Cost and licensing

Is FlexiProject's pricing public?

Yes. You find the cost on the FlexiProject pricing page, so you calculate the license cost without a sales process. You open a test account yourself, without a form. Planview does not publish pricing for its Portfolios product, and access starts with a scheduled demo. To start with FlexiProject, one full license for an administrator is enough, with no minimum seat threshold.

Are reports and dashboards included in the price?

Yes. You build reports in a no-code builder and export them to Excel with the filters kept. You assemble dashboards from configurable widgets, and each department can have its own set of reports. Reports on risks, deliverables and plan changes come from the same project reporting software. The builder and the dashboards belong to the system and need no separate license.

Do we track time and costs in one system?

Yes. You log time on tasks in the time tracking software, also from the mobile app. You compare planned time against actual time for every task. Costs sit in the project budget next to the schedule, together with the plan, expenses and the forecast. You describe budget lines with accounting attributes: cost center, category, vendor and invoice.

Rollout and adoption

What does a FlexiProject rollout look like?

Implementation and configuration for your organization are included in the license price. Together, we set up templates, charters and approval paths to match how your company works. You get a test and training environment as part of the standard offer. In daily work, users get contextual help with short videos, and they find answers in the knowledge base software built into the system.

Do we configure FlexiProject ourselves?

Yes. You configure FlexiProject without a developer or an implementation consultant. You change fields, templates, scoring models and approval workflow software yourself, in the app. You prepare a separate charter template for each project category. You turn modules on or off globally or for a single project. Every change appears in the history with its author, date and new value.

How does the team work in FlexiProject day to day?

Contributors work in familiar views: a task list, a Gantt chart and a Kanban board software. These are three views of the same schedule, so a change in one appears immediately in the others. In the my tasks view, everyone sees tasks from every project. You report progress and time from the mobile app as well.

Fit and organization

Does FlexiProject fit a smaller project management office?

Yes. You turn on modules as you need them. A small project can run with just a schedule and comments, and a large one with the full set. You score new ideas in the project scoring software, with criteria and weights you set yourself. Planview scores investments through scripted dialogs and a numeric ranking, without a module for criteria and weights. In FlexiProject, every project type can have its own scoring model.

Can teams from different countries work in one system?

Yes. The FlexiProject interface is available in 28 languages. In the workspace software, every department or company keeps its own charters, templates and approval paths. Head office sets shared document templates for the whole group. A single project can be visible in several workspaces at once. You sync users and the department structure with Entra ID or Active Directory.

Does FlexiProject also handle operational work?

Yes. Recurring and ad-hoc work outside projects sits in the operational task software. A recurring task recreates itself once it is done, so you do not set it up again every week. A manager sees the team’s workload from project and operational work in one place. You get a warning about an availability overrun already when you assign the task.

Integrations and customization

Can we adapt FlexiProject to our own processes?

Yes. You add custom project attributes, including fields calculated by a formula, in the app. Project roles carry permissions and a place in the approval paths. You record strategic goals with their KPIs in the strategy management software. You set permissions per tab, so you decide who sees the budget and who sees the risks.

Does FlexiProject connect to Jira and other tools?

Yes. You import tasks from Jira with a JQL query and assign their owners to FlexiProject users. Integrations with Microsoft Teams and Outlook are included in the system price. In Planview, connecting to Jira needs a separate product, Planview Hub, with its own pricing. When you need a specific connector, we build it with you. You find the list of connections on the integration platform page.

Can we define what each project has to deliver?

Yes. You record a project’s deliverables in the project products module, each with acceptance criteria, an owner and a date. You link a deliverable to the tasks that produce it. At any time you see which deliverables are accepted and which have not started yet.
