Project and Portfolio Management

Methoda PPM Solution based on Atlassian Jira & Confluence

Are you using Jira for task management but still using other tools (or Excel…) for Portfolio Management and long-term planning?
It’s time to move on!

An effective PPM Solution has 3 layers:
1️⃣ Task Management
2️⃣ Project Management
3️⃣ Portfolio Management

A successful PPM solution needs to satisfy the needs in all 3 layers, all in one unified tool to avoid complex and expensive integration. One integrated PPM platform will generate accurate real-time project and resource status, allowing effective planning and replanning, and providing a better, unified user experience.

Gain visibility and valuable insights about your programs and projects, and generate better decisions based on data.

Methoda was announced as Tier 1 vendor of PPM in STKI Summit 2023

Methoda is offering an advanced PPM solution based on Atlassian Jira & Confluence. The solution is satisfying a wide range of PPM and Project Management needs.

The solution is built on top of Atlassian Jira, the leading platform for project and task management (for Agile or Non-Agile teams). This provides a strong connection between the actual progress of the tasks at the team level to the aggregated status at the portfolio level.

Requirements/ Scope Management

Manage the life cycle of business requirements to actual technical implementation. Support the prioritization process and help define the scope.

Link scope items (requirements) to project phases and monitor scope per phase.

Content and  Documentation Management

Using Atlassian Confluence (best-of-breed content management platform), link project documentation to the portfolio tree, to view the recent project status, overview, and more.

Manage revisions and history of all content. Use tailored templates to create new content. Automatically aggregate existing content.

Collaboration

Keep everyone aligned with collaboration features such as comments on every system entity (e.g. milestone, project phase, risk mitigation task), subscribe to changes in every system entity, and mention your colleagues to initiate a discussion around an entity.

All discussions are captured right inside the tool and are searchable. Attach files and link any two entities to capture relations.

Connect to your messaging platform, such as Microsoft Teams or Slack.

It is possible to define additional workflow approvals to gain the control you need for major changes.

A fully customizable permission scheme governs changes to system entities.

Automate Business Processes

Use the built-in automation engine to create automation rules. Define trigger events and automatic tasks, and cut manual work.

What-if scenarios

Create Sandboxes for evaluating changes to schedules (what-if) and analyzing the impact on resource utilization in real time.

Financial Info Management (Budgets)

Define project budget, expected expenses (CAPEX/OPEX, labor or non-labor), revenues, and capture budget baselines. Monitor actual expenses and revenues, including real-time analysis of labor costs per work rate.
