Enterprise Portfolio Management for Azure DevOps

Manage the whole portfolio without moving a single team out of Azure DevOps. Kiplot uses the work they already track to plan capacity, budgets and investments across the portfolio.

From work items to investment decisions

Azure DevOps holds the Epics, Features and work items your teams deliver. Kiplot links them to the investments they belong to, so the portfolio is prioritized, funded and governed on the same data.

Prioritize

Compare proposed and active investments before funding and capacity are committed.

Report

Create portfolio reporting from current Azure DevOps data, without rebuilding it for each review.

Fund

Track budgets, forecasts and actuals against the work your teams are delivering.

Govern

Business cases, approvals and stage gates for every investment, with live delivery status in view.

Strategy

Strategy

Strategic objectives and outcome measures. Defines why work is funded and how success will be judged.

Azure DevOps Delivery

Azure DevOps Delivery

Teams manage Epics, Features and work items in Azure DevOps. Kiplot reads progress, status and dependencies back into the portfolio.

Live two-way integration

Kiplot reads work items, status and effort from Azure DevOps, and writes funding, capacity and priority decisions back. Nobody keys the same update twice, and both systems stay current without anyone reconciling them by hand.

Questions Azure DevOps wasn't built to answer

Which investments should receive funding?

Where should shared capacity go?

What does a delivery delay mean for forecast spend and benefit timing?

Which commitments are at risk when delivery dependencies move?

Are funded initiatives delivering the outcomes promised?

What should be continued, changed, delayed or stopped?

Portfolio management built on your Azure DevOps data

Status reports, capacity plans, forecasts and gate decisions, all coming from the work items your teams already update.

Kiplot view of demand against capacity across initiatives
Demand vs. capacity

Allocate portfolio capacity

Kiplot puts demand from every proposed and active initiative against your teams, roles and skills. You can see where capacity is overcommitted and decide what goes ahead before work reaches a backlog.

Enterprise depth without legacy complexity.

AI-Native Portfolio Management

AI is built into how Kiplot analyzes portfolio, financial, capacity and delivery data, surfacing risks, trade-offs and recommended actions inside the workflows teams already use.

Live in Weeks, Not Years

Start with the workflows that matter, deliver value quickly, then deepen the implementation over time. No multi-year transformation program before the platform becomes useful.

One Layer For Delivery and Finance

Connect portfolio decisions to delivery, financials and capacity in one integrated model, while specialist systems such as Jira, Azure DevOps, SAP, Oracle and Workday remain authoritative.

Configure It Without Consultants

Portfolio teams can configure views, workflows, fields and governance themselves, without development cycles or permanent professional-services dependency.

Two-Way Integrations

Two-way integrations keep delivery and portfolio data synchronized, so teams work in the tools they already use while leaders get a current enterprise view without manual consolidation.
