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.
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.
Compare proposed and active investments before funding and capacity are committed.
Create portfolio reporting from current Azure DevOps data, without rebuilding it for each review.
Track budgets, forecasts and actuals against the work your teams are delivering.
Business cases, approvals and stage gates for every investment, with live delivery status in view.
Strategic objectives and outcome measures. Defines why work is funded and how success will be judged.
Where funded initiatives are prioritized, financed and governed.
Teams manage Epics, Features and work items in Azure DevOps. Kiplot reads progress, status and dependencies back into the portfolio.
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.
