Completix is project portfolio management software built for IT and software organizations. IT portfolios do not fail at the code. They fail when 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.

| CRM Replacement Program | Sales Operations | Business system | 87 | Approved |
| Data Center Exit, Phase 2 | Infrastructure | Migration | 74 | Awaiting review |
| SSO and MFA Rollout | Information Security | Security | 71 | Awaiting review |
| Partner API v2 | Product | Software | 66 | On hold |
| Warehouse Reporting Refresh | Finance | Analytics | 52 | On hold |
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 demand and intake management form, and every approve, reject, or need-more-info action is logged with who took it.
Score each request against your own criteria with portfolio prioritization, so the board starts from a shared number.
Approvers named by your policy decide what gets funded. Before they do, you can model the demand against your people as a what-if.
Each team keeps its own method. Schedules, RAID logs, and expenses roll up the same way regardless.
Stage gates are project reviews. Each one ends in Approve, Reject, or Need more info, given by a named person and recorded.
Status is live in the platform. Posting a period freezes that view as a snapshot nobody can rewrite later.
None of these show up as an outage. They show up as a slipped quarter, and by then the people involved have moved on to the next urgent request.
Approvals live in email threads. When an auditor or a new sponsor asks, nobody can show who decided what, or when.

See capacity before commitmentA hand-built weekly deck reflects what its author remembered to check, not what the project holds.
See reporting that holdsVendor paperwork sits in folders and inboxes, so the gap is found after the money has moved.
See the money viewIn IT the constraint is rarely money, it is four or five named specialists that every program depends on. Completix tracks resource allocation per individual person, not per role type, so a conflict shows up while you can still do something about it.

A. Whitfield: 90% committed plus 45% modeled is 135% in September. Nothing is committed until the scenario is applied.
Completix is methodology agnostic. Governance sits above delivery, so teams that work differently can report into the same portfolio without changing how they work.
Choose the methodology and stage structure that fits each piece of work. The portfolio does not force one shape onto every team.
A stage gate is a project review that ends in one of three outcomes, given by a named person and recorded. Nothing is approved by the system.
Schedule, budget, RAID, and status roll up the same way whatever the delivery method underneath, so the portfolio 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 recorded against them. When the estimate pulls away from approved, you can see it in the month it happens instead of in the year end review.
Status reporting 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. Estimate at completion 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.
The platform is the same. What changes is the pressure each portfolio is under, and which parts of it you lean on most.
Multi-year programs tracked against contract gates and audit trails.
Procurement defensibility and a decision record that survives review.
Regulatory change portfolios with evidenced governance.
Capital projects competing for the same constrained engineering pool.
Design and delivery phases with schedule and cost held together.
Billable delivery across client accounts with utilization in view.
Grant funded work and term cycles planned against real capacity.
Campaign portfolios with shared creative resources and fixed dates.
Written for people building a shortlist, not for people who have already decided.
Five platforms reviewed side by side, with what each one is genuinely good at and where it gets expensive or heavy.

Read the analysisIT project management software gives an IT organization one place to record incoming demand, decide what to fund, plan the people who will do the work, and report on delivery. Completix goes a step further into project portfolio management, connecting strategy, prioritization, funding, governance, and delivery rather than tracking tasks alone.
Yes. Completix is methodology agnostic. Each project uses the methodology and stage structure that suits it, so teams that plan with schedules and teams that work in iterations can report into the same portfolio. Governance and reporting sit above delivery, so leadership gets one consistent view regardless of how each team chooses to execute.
Resource allocation is visible at project and portfolio level, tracked against named individuals rather than role types. You can see who is committed to what, at what percentage, across all active work. Intake requests do not carry resource demand, but you can model the demand for work you have not approved as a what-if, clearly marked as modeled, before anyone is committed.
A stage gate is a review, not an automated checkpoint. It ends in Approve, Reject, or Need more info, given by a named person and recorded. Gates are a project review and carry no financial link, so funding decisions are made at intake approval, by the approvers your policy names. Nothing is approved, escalated, or released by the system on its own.
Yes. Each project carries approved budget, forecast, estimate at completion, and variance, with actuals recorded against them. Vendor quotes and invoices are recorded on the project, with a side by side view and flags to help you match them. A cost counts toward the budget once you mark it to, and invoice approval itself stays in your own financial system.
Risks, actions, issues, and decisions are held as four separate logs inside the project and viewed one at a time. Every entry has an owner and a status, and each keeps a change history of who changed what and when. Because the logs live in the project itself, architecture calls and change approvals are not lost in meeting notes.
Completix supports custom integrations with the systems you already run. Integration scope is assessed during discovery and delivered as part of a services engagement by the product team, rather than assumed to work from a standard connector list. Microsoft Project plans can be imported and exported as MPP files.
Yes, that is the primary use case. Portfolio health, resource position, and budget position are visible without asking project managers to compile weekly reports in different formats, and intake management gives the PMO one place to collect and approve demand before commitments are made. The PMO overview shows how the pieces fit together.
Bring a live program 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.
