In an environment of constant change, organizations can’t afford disconnected priorities, wasted resources, or blind bets. PPM gives you a framework to:
Whether you run traditional projects, agile teams, or hybrid delivery models, project and portfolio management enables smarter, more synchronized execution across DevOps and the business.
Project and portfolio management isn’t just about keeping projects on track—it’s about making sure your entire organization is working toward what truly matters:
From PMOs and IT leaders to finance, marketing, and product teams, everyone uses PPM to stay aligned. If you manage projects (or care how money and people are used), project and portfolio management gives you the structure and insight to drive better outcomes.

AI-enhanced PPM enables faster, smarter decisions while empowering teams to deliver meaningful results.

In a modern enterprise, you need both. SPM ensures your investments support long-term value, while PPM ensures your teams can execute those investments with precision.
