IT portfolios do not fail at the code. They fail at the point where more work is committed than the team can absorb, and nobody has the evidence to say so in the room where the decision gets made.
| Request | Requested by | Type | Score | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRM Replacement Programme | Sales Operations | Business system | 87 | Approved |
| Data Centre Exit, Phase 2 | Infrastructure | Migration | 74 | In review |
| SSO and MFA Rollout | Information Security | Security | 71 | In review |
| Partner API v2 | Product | Software | 66 | Queued |
| Warehouse Reporting Refresh | Finance | Analytics | 52 | Queued |
The IT portfolio is a pipeline, not a list. Completix holds every stage of that pipeline in one place, so the trade-off you made in March is still visible in September.
Requests arrive through one form with the fields you need, not five inboxes and a spreadsheet.
Score demand against your own criteria and rank it, so the board argues about the ranking, not the data.
Approve against real capacity and a real budget, with the people you are spending named individually.
Each team keeps its own method. Schedules, RAID logs, and expenses roll up the same way regardless.
Stage gates are reviews. Approval is routed by your policy and given by named people, never by the system.
Status is live in the platform. Posting a period freezes that view as a snapshot nobody can rewrite later.
In IT the constraint is rarely money, it is four or five named specialists that every programme depends on. Completix tracks allocation per individual person, not per role type, so a conflict shows up while you can still do something about it.
| Person | Role | Aug | Sep | Oct |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. Whitfield | Solution Architect | 100% | 135% | 120% |
| P. Nadeau | Lead Developer | 90% | 95% | 70% |
| S. Iqbal | Integration Engineer | 60% | 85% | 90% |
| M. Okonjo | Data Engineer | 45% | 55% | 80% |
| R. Lindqvist | Business Analyst | 75% | 65% | 50% |
Completix is methodology agnostic. Governance sits above delivery, so a sprint team and an infrastructure programme can report into the same portfolio without either one changing how it works.
Choose the methodology and stage structure that fits each piece of work. The portfolio does not force one shape onto every team.
A gate is a review with approval routed by your policy and given by named people. Nothing is approved by the system, and funding decisions are made at the gate, by humans.
Schedule, budget, RAID, and status roll up consistently whatever the delivery method underneath, so the portfolio view compares like with like.
On integrations: Completix supports custom integrations with the systems you already run. Scope is assessed during discovery and delivered as part of a services engagement, rather than assumed to work out of a connector list.
Approved, forecast, and estimate at completion sit on the same card, with actuals posted against them. When forecast pulls away from approved, you can see it in the month it happens instead of in the year end review.
Status in Completix is live and current, assembled from the project itself rather than typed into a deck. When a reporting period closes, posting it creates a snapshot of exactly what was true that week, and that snapshot does not change afterwards.
Data migration testing is running two weeks behind the baseline after a second extract cycle was added. Forecast now exceeds approved budget by 82,000, driven by additional integration effort. A change request covering the extra scope is with the sponsor for review.
Every project carries the same working parts, so nothing lives in a side spreadsheet that only one person maintains.
Task structure, dependencies, and baselines for teams that plan that way, alongside teams that do not.
Risks, actions, issues, and decisions, each as its own log, every entry owned and dated.
Variance across the portfolio surfaced in one view. It tells you where to look, you decide what to do.
Quotes and invoices held against the project, with the difference between them visible before you approve.
Architecture decisions, contracts, and sign offs attached to the project they belong to.
Portfolio health, spend, and delivery position in one screen for the people who only get ten minutes.
Bring a live programme and a week of real demand. We will walk through intake, capacity, and the portfolio view with your numbers rather than a sample dataset.
Deployed directly by Completix, with no system integrator required.
