Set the strategy. Run the portfolio. Deliver the work.
From the first request and funding decision to governed delivery.

For most PMOs, each answer sits in a different place, a spreadsheet here, an email thread there, a status report that is already out of date. Pulling them together takes days, and by the time it is done, the decision has usually been made.
In Completix project portfolio management software, a request carries its objective, its Capex and Opex split by fiscal year and its approval history. Funding can be approved at an intake gate, against a line-of-business envelope, before a project exists. Once approved, the request becomes a project, its resource demand joins the capacity plan, and its schedule, budget and risks feed the same portfolio view.
Set the objectives your organization is funding this year, then connect the projects and portfolios delivering against them. When priorities shift, you can see exactly what is affected.
Standardize how requests enter the portfolio, from a small change to capital project intake with a full business case and multi-year funding. Your policy names the approvers, people make the decision, and Completix keeps the record.
See capacity, budget, forecast and actuals together across the portfolio, and where each is heading. Model different choices before committing the organization to work it cannot staff or afford.
Give finance control over where project money comes from and how it is spent. Funding sits in envelopes by line of business, and the same envelopes fund requests at their intake gate and projects once they are running.
Strategy only holds up if the work underneath is tracked in the same place. Schedules, budgets, risks and reports live in the platform, and the portfolio views read from them directly.
Configurable thresholds are checked every time your data changes, and exceptions surface for your PMO to review. It works less like a report and more like a control panel for your portfolio, showing where attention is needed before the next reporting cycle arrives.
| Status | Project | Trigger | Trigger Value | Actual Value | Baseline | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off Track | ERP Rollout | Project Scheduled End | >2% of planned end date | Nov 12, 2026 | Aug 30, 2026 | Scheduled end over 74 days late |
| At Risk | Data Platform Migration | Project Budget Forecast | +1% of approved budget | $1.24M | $1.18M | Forecast 5% over approved budget |
| At Risk | Biotech Onboarding | RAID Task Due | Overdue tasks | 6 tasks | 0 | 6 tasks past their due date |
| At Risk | Marketing Launch | Milestone Due | Milestone slip | Oct 03, 2026 | Sep 20, 2026 | Milestone 13 days behind baseline |
Budget forecast, schedule slip, milestone dates, overdue RAID items, resource over-allocation. You set the tolerance, Completix watches it.
See which projects are firing, which trigger fires most, and where the risk is concentrated.
Warnings surface ahead of the reporting cycle, so a forecast breach becomes a decision rather than an explanation.
What surprised us most was how much easier it became to spot projects that needed attention. We used to find these issues when preparing our monthly reports.
