i-lign

Start by turning scattered plans into a living portfolio. In i-lign, create a portfolio space, add strategic themes with owners and measurable targets, then bulk-import projects from spreadsheets or connect existing tools to sync data. Tag work by department, risk, and priority, and link each initiative to clear outcomes. Sketch a time-phased roadmap, drag dependencies, and set decision gates. Use capacity views to see team load by role and skill, test what-if scenarios (pause, add, or resequence work), compare options, and commit the plan that fits funding and capacity.

Project and program leads run delivery from a single screen. Break work into milestones or sprints with deliverables and acceptance criteria. Assign people, define effort, and let time capture update progress automatically. Record expenses and attach receipts; submit changes for approval when scope moves. Manage risks and issues with owners, responses, and due dates. Each week, enter a concise status (health, schedule variance, key wins, blockers) and push it to a presentation board that updates leadership views instantly. Collaborate in context with comments, mentions, and file versioning, and rely on single sign-on via your identity provider for fast, secure access.

Finance and resource managers get the controls they need without spreadsheets. Set a baseline budget, split OpEx and CapEx, and reforecast monthly; lock versions to preserve history. Track commitments, actuals, and burn rate; highlight variances early. Map each initiative to measurable benefits, define how value will be proven, and collect evidence as delivery lands. View utilization heatmaps by person and role; approve or decline resourcing requests, shift allocations to relieve bottlenecks, and prevent overbooking with rules and alerts. Portfolio metrics roll up automatically, so targets and performance stay aligned.

Executives and PMOs use i-lign to run crisp governance. Build a board for decision-making with tiles for objectives, roadmap, delivery health, spend vs value, major risks, and benefits realization. Filter by strategy, region, or funding source; everything refreshes in real time. In steering meetings, capture decisions and owners as you present; actions appear back on the relevant projects. Open the idea intake form to gather proposals, auto-score them with weighted criteria, and send the best to triage. Maintain an end-to-end audit trail, export summary packs to PDF or slides in a click, and feed data to your BI platform through the API when deeper analysis is required.
