FlexiProject

FlexiProject key strengths

A project sometimes has to move all the way from idea to delivery. Along that path you use a project charter, products with acceptance criteria, scoring, strategic goals and reviews with a decision archive.

Project charter document with approval

In the project charter you record the goal, scope, budget and success measures before the schedule exists. Projektron BCS starts a project from a request with its own approval process, and it has no versioned charter document. In FlexiProject, milestones, risks and budget figures flow into the charter straight from the project modules. Every approved version stays in the archive with its author and date.

Acceptance criteria on every product

Every project product carries an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria agreed at the start. The Projektron BCS product catalogue covers products and services sold to the client, without acceptance criteria inside a project. In FlexiProject you see the tasks that deliver a product directly on the schedule.

Criteria and weights in project scoring

You set the scoring criteria and their weights yourself, with a separate model for each project type. Projektron BCS documentation does not describe a project scoring module. In FlexiProject you send the score to several reviewers and see the average, the median and the spread. A project already in delivery gets scored again, so a drop in priority shows up early.

Strategic goals linked to projects

A goal carries a baseline, a target and a current value. Goals form a tree with subgoals, and you link projects to a goal with a level of impact. Projektron BCS has no strategic goals with KPIs. The board sees goals, their indicators and the linked projects on one screen.

Decision archive from every review

You set a review date for every portfolio. Figures from the schedule, the budget and the risk register feed the report automatically. Projektron BCS documentation has no archive of reviews with management decisions. In FlexiProject the decisions and comments from every review stay in the archive. A year later you can still check what was decided and why.

key strengths

A project from idea to delivered products

In FlexiProject you run a project from idea to delivered products in one system. You score the idea, and an approved project gets a charter, a baseline, a budget and a risk register. Every product carries acceptance criteria, so you know what the project has to deliver and who signs it off. At the end you record a closure charter with lessons learned. For a project office that reports on delivered products, FlexiProject is a Projektron BCS alternative that covers the whole cycle.

flexible configuration

One standard, several divisions, one instance

Investment projects, IT projects and client orders usually need a different charter, a different risk matrix and a different approval path. In FlexiProject every division gets its own work area with that standard, and every work area runs in one instance. A project can belong to several areas at once. You set the configuration without a developer and without an implementation consultant. That is why FlexiProject is a Projektron BCS alternative for groups with several companies or divisions too.

When does a project management system become essential?

A Projektron BCS alternative in selected industries

Engineering

In engineering contracts the client accepts specific products, with scope and dates set in the contract. In FlexiProject every product carries an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria, and the tasks that deliver it sit on the schedule.

Projektron BCS alternative: frequently asked questions

Projektron BCS alternative

Is FlexiProject a good Projektron BCS alternative?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Projektron BCS alternative when you want to run a project on a defined method, from idea to delivery. You score the idea, and an approved project gets a charter, a baseline, a budget and a risk register. Products carry acceptance criteria, and plan changes go through an approval path. It all runs as one project management platform with a portfolio and reviews in one place.

Does FlexiProject cover baselines and every dependency type?

Yes. On the Gantt chart you link tasks with all four dependency types, with lead and lag. Dependencies can also link tasks across different projects, and after a change the dates of dependent tasks recalculate automatically. Projektron BCS also has a Gantt chart with a baseline, but without a fixed-offset relationship type. In FlexiProject you see the baseline, the deviation and the critical path on one view. Read more on the Gantt chart tool page.

Does FlexiProject connect to the company finance system?

Yes. We set up the integration with your accounting system together with you, and you can also import actuals from Excel with mapping rules. You tie budget lines to schedule tasks, so moving a task moves the linked expense date too. Next to the plan and the cost incurred you see a forecast for the final cost. Sales, quotes and CRM stay in the system the company already uses. Budget versions and change approval are covered on the project budget software page.

Plan, risks and approvals

How does FlexiProject handle a change to an approved plan?

You report a change to an approved plan with a justified request. You see the current and the proposed plan side by side on the Gantt chart. The decision-maker judges the size of the change before approving it. In Projektron BCS the baseline is a single snapshot kept for comparison. In FlexiProject every approved version stays on record, and you can compare it with any earlier one. Requests and plan versions live in the project plan module.

What does the risk register look like in FlexiProject?

Every risk carries a probability, an impact, an owner and a response plan. You set the risk matrix as 3×3, 5×5 or your own scale, and an administrator defines the risk categories. Projektron BCS documentation does not describe a configurable risk matrix. In FlexiProject a risk ties to the schedule task it affects, and the risks from every project show up in a portfolio tab. See the risk management module for details.

How do you approve documents, plans and budgets in FlexiProject?

You send the project charter, the plan and the budget for approval through the approval path system. A path can have several steps, including parallel ones, and the decision-maker is named by their project role. That means the path still works after a staffing change. In Projektron BCS approvals run through tickets. In FlexiProject the author, date and comment are recorded with every decision. A year later you can check who approved each version through the approval workflow software.

Standardising how projects are run

Can FlexiProject standardise how projects are set up?

Yes. A template carries the schedule, a set of typical risks and products with document patterns. Dates in the template count in working days from the start date, so filling in the start date gives you a ready task list. You save a finished project as a template with one click. Projektron BCS templates cover the project structure. In FlexiProject you build a separate pattern for each project type in the project template module.

How do you track what a project delivers?

At the start of a project you set an owner, a deadline and acceptance criteria for every product. You tie a product to the tasks that deliver it. The Projektron BCS product catalogue covers the offer sold to the client, without acceptance criteria. You put together the status of products, risks and plan changes without coding, in the project reporting tool. The report exports to Excel.

Where do teams discuss tasks, risks and budget?

You record comments on a task, a risk, a budget line or a product, and mention a specific person with @person. The mentioned user gets a notification in the app or by email, depending on their own settings. The project chat stays in the archive with the project, so after closing it you still see what was agreed. You run all of this in the Kanban board software alongside the task list and the schedule.

Portfolio and strategy

Is FlexiProject a good Projektron BCS alternative for portfolio management?

Yes. FlexiProject is a good Projektron BCS alternative for portfolio management because you check the portfolio composition before a decision. In a simulation you switch selected projects off and see how the portfolio indicators change. On the attractiveness matrix you compare business benefit against project complexity, and the portfolio budget carries a reserve and an expected NPV. Schedules, finances and risks across every project sit in the project portfolio software.

How does FlexiProject link the schedules of several projects?

You group several projects into a program with a shared schedule. Dependencies link tasks across different projects, so moving one date shifts the next ones. In a what-if mode you check the effect of a change on the whole program before saving it. One project can belong to several programs at once. The charter, the budget and the risks stay at project level, and you run the shared plan in the program management tool.

Does FlexiProject tie projects to strategic goals?

Yes. A goal carries a baseline, a target and a current value. Goals form a tree with subgoals, and you link projects to a goal with a level of impact. The board sees goals, their indicators and the projects that deliver them on one screen, alongside notes kept in the knowledge base module. That is why FlexiProject is a Projektron BCS alternative for boards that track strategy through projects too.

Resources, time and everyday work

How is resource planning done in FlexiProject?

Every person has a daily availability figure, with holidays and a part-time share. Workload shows up directly on the Gantt chart, so moving a task shows the change in load at once. Assigning a task above someone’s availability triggers a warning. You check the load of the whole organisation or a single department in the resource planning module before approving a new project.

How do you record working time in FlexiProject?

You log hours against a schedule task, also from the mobile app. Tasks from every project you work on sit in one “my tasks” view. Planned and actual time show up on every task, so you see at once where work runs longer than planned. You log entries in the time tracking tool, and the project manager sees them next to the schedule.

Does FlexiProject cover work outside projects?

Yes. Maintenance, departmental tasks and other recurring work run in the operational tasks module. Operational tasks take from the same availability as project work, so a person’s load covers both kinds at once. The project manager sees how much time a specialist really has left for the project. That is why a new task warning takes operational work into account too.

Rollout, hosting and cost

What does a FlexiProject rollout look like?

The rollout and the configuration for your organisation are included in the licence. You change charters, templates, roles and approval paths yourself later, without a developer. Contributors work on a task list, a Gantt chart and a Kanban board system, so they start from views they already know. From day one the team has comments, mentions and a project chat in the team communication tool.

Does FlexiProject run on our own servers?

Yes. The on-premises version has the full scope, from project scheduling software to portfolios, scoring and reviews. Installation needs Windows Server 2019 or newer with IIS, SQL Server and MongoDB. The cloud version stores data inside the European Economic Area. Users sign in through Microsoft Entra ID, and you sync the organisation structure with Entra ID or Active Directory.

What does FlexiProject cost?

You find licence rates on the pricing page, with no sales call needed. Projektron BCS prices a per-user licence that depends on the modules picked, and it is not published. In FlexiProject people who only complete and update assigned tasks work on free accounts. Working at project level needs a standard licence, and the full module scope needs a full licence. One full licence for an administrator is enough to start.
