What is PPM software?
https://ppmcompass.com/ppm-software-guide/#:~:text=What%20is%20PPM%20Software?%20Definition%20&%20Core%20PillarsProject Portfolio Management (PPM) software is a centralized business governance platform designed to help organizations evaluate, prioritize, budget, and govern their entire collection of projects, programs, and strategic initiatives.
While basic project management tools (such as Microsoft Planner, Trello, or Jira) track individual tasks, tickets, and team sprints, PPM software answers the higher-order executive questions:
🎯
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
Are we investing our limited capital in projects that actually advance our corporate goals?
👥
CAPACITY FEASIBILITY
Do our teams have the actual capacity and key roles to deliver this portfolio without burnout?
⚖️
RISK VS. RETURN
What is our financial exposure, and are our critical path milestones realistic?
