Managing individual projects can be challenging enough. But what really moves the needle for your organization is delivering on large, strategic program initiatives and ensuring your entire project portfolio stays healthy.
Prism PPM supports programs and portfolios natively—right out of the box. These features help our customers deliver on key initiatives while providing them with clear visibility into how theirprogress is tracking.
Let’s look at a program. A program is typically a broad initiative that contains many interrelated or dependent projects. Unlike other project management applications where projects are loosely tagged together, Prism PPM provides a true program dashboard. Here, you can:
- Assign a full program team.
- Define which projects are associated with the initiative.
- Track both individual project status and the overall program’s progress for stakeholder or leadership reporting.
From this dashboard, you can also roll up critical information like financials, milestones, change requests, and even highlight the highest-priority issues and risks across all related projects. This visibility ensures you can execute effectively on complex, multi-year initiatives.
One of the biggest success factors is resource management. That’s why Prism PPM also gives you a portfolio view. Here, you can see all projects that comprise the initiative, view them on a timeline, analyze your resource plan, and identify bottlenecks. For example, you might notice certain team members are overallocated—putting your initiative at risk.
Prism PPM lets you solve this in two ways:
- Scenario planning: take data offline, manually adjust project timelines, and see the impact in real time.
- Resource leveling: automate resolution of overallocations by extending project timelines or reallocating resources, ensuring your team can deliver on time and within scope.
Beyond resources, Prism PPM also connects your portfolio back to organizational strategy. You can map projects to strategic goals—like IT transformation—and instantly see which are on track and which need support. This helps you course-correct early and ensures your PMO is delivering real value to the business and its stakeholders.
Prism PPM is the project portfolio management solution successful organizations use to manage projects more efficiently, ensure alignment with strategic objectives, and mature their PMO practices.
