Plan, prioritize, fund and govern projects across the enterprise. Powered by AI at every stage of the portfolio lifecycle.
Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is the discipline of selecting, prioritizing, funding and governing projects as a portfolio. It brings strategy, financials, capacity and delivery together, helping leaders decide which projects to pursue, how to resource them and when priorities need to change.
In Kiplot, PPM is a core capability within the broader Strategic Portfolio Management platform, connecting project execution to strategy, investment and outcomes.
Choose the right projects and make trade-offs across the portfolio based on strategy, value, cost and constraint.
Set budgets, capacity, milestones and forecasts across the portfolio, then model how changes affect the plan.
Track delivery, financials, risks and dependencies in one current view, with evidence flowing directly from delivery teams.
Connect investment and delivery to benefits and outcomes, so success is measured by value created, not simply work completed.
Plan tasks, milestones and dependencies at the level of detail each project needs, then roll progress up automatically into the portfolio. Project teams get the detail they need; leaders get a current view across every project.
RAKBANK strengthened its strategic portfolio management capability to increase delivery confidence and maintain financial control in a regulated environment.
Kiplot is enabling us to accelerate agile execution while ensuring every initiative has clear accountability, transparent governance, and alignment to our strategic priorities.

Capture demand, compare business cases and rank projects using consistent criteria, so funding and capacity go to the work that matters most.
See projects, programs, milestones and dependencies on a shared timeline, with portfolio-level visibility from initiation through delivery.
Compare project demand with available capacity across teams, roles and skills, and test allocation decisions before commitments are made.
Capture and manage risks, issues and mitigations across projects and programs, with portfolio-wide visibility and AI-powered early warning.
Apply the governance each project needs, from intake and approvals through stage gates, delivery and closure.
Connect projects to strategic objectives and measurable outcomes, so prioritization and reporting stay anchored to why the work exists.
Plan and control project budgets, forecasts and actuals across CapEx and OpEx, with business cases and variance visible in one place.
Define expected benefits, track realization over time and compare actual value with the case on which each project was funded.
Capture effort against projects and feed actuals directly into financial reporting, forecasts and capacity planning.
Bring project updates, milestones, risks, financials and delivery data into current portfolio reporting, reducing manual status-pack assembly.
Give each audience the view it needs, from delivery detail to executive portfolio performance, with configurable dashboards and reporting.
AI works across the portfolio, interpreting project, financial, capacity and delivery data to surface emerging risks, identify inconsistencies, summarize change and recommend interventions.
Keep Jira and Kiplot in two-way sync, so delivery teams can continue working in Jira while portfolio plans, milestones, dependencies and status stay current without duplicate entry.
Keep Azure DevOps and Kiplot in two-way sync, connecting delivery teams with portfolio planning and governance while updates flow automatically between both systems.
Connect Kiplot with SAP, Oracle, Workday and other enterprise systems, so financial, people and delivery data flow directly into portfolio decisions while each source system remains authoritative.
AI analyzes pace, dependency state, and historical patterns across the portfolio, flagging milestones at risk of slipping weeks before the date does.
AI reads project updates, status comments, and RAID logs, classifying new risks by impact and probability and filing them in the right register, automatically.
Every new initiative is compared to historical project patterns. Past failures, recurring risks, and proven mitigations become this portfolio's guardrails, not last year's after-the-fact retrospective.
Board-ready portfolio narratives, milestone updates, and risk briefings are produced automatically from live project data, cutting reporting cycles from days to minutes.
Continuous monitoring across the portfolio detects cross-team dependency conflicts and resource clashes, flagging them before they delay critical paths.

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) software helps organizations select, prioritize, fund, plan and govern projects as a portfolio. It brings project delivery, financials, resource capacity, risks, dependencies and benefits into one portfolio-level view so leaders can make better decisions across the enterprise.
Kiplot provides these capabilities as part of its broader Strategic Portfolio Management platform.
Project management focuses on delivering an individual project successfully. Project Portfolio Management focuses on deciding which projects should be pursued and managing them collectively.
PPM gives leaders a portfolio-wide view of priorities, funding, capacity, dependencies, risk and outcomes, while individual project teams retain the detailed plans they need to execute the work.
Enterprise PPM software should support the full project portfolio lifecycle, including demand and project intake, prioritization, business cases, budgeting and forecasting, resource and capacity planning, roadmaps and milestones, governance, risks and dependencies, status reporting, benefits realization and portfolio analytics.
Kiplot connects these capabilities with live delivery and enterprise data rather than treating them as separate planning and reporting processes.
Project Portfolio Management helps organizations invest in the right projects and deliver them with greater financial and operational control. It provides clearer prioritization, earlier visibility of capacity and financial constraints, better management of cross-project dependencies and risk, and more current portfolio reporting.
Effective PPM also connects project delivery to expected benefits, so success can be measured by value created rather than simply whether work was completed.
Project Portfolio Management is a core capability within Kiplot's broader Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) platform. PPM focuses on selecting, planning, funding and governing portfolios of projects and programs. SPM extends that same portfolio discipline across strategy, investment, products and other forms of enterprise change.
Organizations can therefore use Kiplot as a comprehensive PPM platform while connecting project execution to the wider strategic and investment decisions managed through SPM.
Yes. Kiplot is methodology-agnostic and supports agile, waterfall and hybrid delivery within the same portfolio. Projects can be managed against detailed schedules and milestones, while agile teams continue working in tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps.
Portfolio leaders retain one view of priorities, financials, capacity and delivery regardless of how individual teams choose to work.
Kiplot connects Project Portfolio Management with the systems teams already use. Two-way integrations with Jira and Azure DevOps keep delivery work and portfolio plans synchronized, while integrations with systems such as SAP, Oracle and Workday connect financial, people and enterprise data into portfolio decisions.
This allows each system to remain authoritative while Kiplot provides the portfolio-level view across delivery, financials and capacity.
AI can make Project Portfolio Management more continuous and proactive. In Kiplot, AI works across project, financial, capacity and delivery data to identify emerging risks, summarize changes, detect inconsistencies, surface dependencies and recommend interventions.
Rather than operating as a separate assistant, AI is built into portfolio workflows so it can help teams plan, govern, report and make decisions throughout the PPM lifecycle.
Project Portfolio Management software is typically used by organizations managing multiple complex projects and competing demands for funding and resources. Common users include EPMOs, PMOs, portfolio managers, program leaders, finance teams, CIO and technology organizations, and executives responsible for major change portfolios.
PPM is particularly valuable where project, financial, resource and delivery information is distributed across different teams and systems.
Join leading enterprises using Kiplot to plan with precision, mitigate risks early, and deliver every project with confidence.
