Portfolio- and Resource-Management open source software for faster strategy execution
Why Companies Often End Up in the Complexity Trap
Organizations of every size face the same dilemma:
Two goals are critical for success — but they compete with each other:
- Process Compliance and Control: essential for running the core business
- Flexibility and Speed of Adaptation: essential for innovation and executing new strategies
Both are necessary. Both are indispensable.
But trying to accommodate both within one system inevitably leads to poor compromises.
Fully integrated project portfolio management systems almost always optimize for control – at the expense of flexibility.
They excel at mapping processes but are structurally incapable of creating strategic agility.
What’s missing is an independent building block dedicated to flexibility and speed of adaption.
The Solution
VISBO is 100% focused on Flexibility and Speed of Adaptation:
- Focus on projects that deliver real value
- Early detection of resource bottlenecks
- Fast creation of scenario variants and what-if simulations
- Rapid, data-driven decision-making

Key Software Characteristics
-
1.Concentration on a few things
VISBO recommends applying this principle at both the portfolio and project levels.
Plan and monitor your projects based on key data points, such as crucial deadlines, deliverables, monthly resource demands, and expected revenues or benefits, to optimize efficiency and outcomes.
Focus on the most valuable and important initiatives, rather than trying to do everything at once. Manage your Work-in-Progress within the overall portfolio to bring projects into a steady flow and shorten lead times.

2.Visualization and Simulation
Visualization for everybody ensures common understanding. Simply by browser.
Top Management receives a first-glance impression of the current status and financial expectations of the entire portfolio.
Department Managers get a quick overview of team utilization and potential bottlenecks, ranging from the department level down to individual team members. In cases of over-utilization, they can identify the projects involved and coordinate with project managers to resolve the issues.
Project Managers get an automatically generated view comparing targets versus actuals in terms of costs, availability of resources, deadlines, deliveries, and expected benefits. They can also create alternate project plans to demonstrate strategies for getting back on track.
Project Members get an overview of how their capacity is allocated across various projects.
