Project Portfolio Prioritization

Does your company have problems making project priority tradeoffs?

The Portfolio Valuation Template (PVT) is an interactive graphical model that helps planners make challenging investment decisions. It is based on a class of multi-criteria decision theory, the Analytic Hierarchy Process.

Its simple yet elegant visualization allows qualitative and quantitative factors to be weighed and compared.

Try the PVT for yourself. Request a free 30 day trial of the PVT model.

Project Capacity Management

Overloaded development?

Overloaded development teams rarely deliver high performance. Over-committed development teams are a rampant problem according to most industry surveys.

Too many active projects?

Metrics for development team utilization are not well understood nor used in portfolio decision support.

On-Fire's modeling tools evaluate development's capacity for work against the resource demands of alternative project portfolios.

See it work. Watch a 3 minute on-line demo.

Customer testimonial

"On-Fire's capacity management technology proved that our organization badly over-drove the development resources. This chronic condition masked poor individual performance that contributed to schedule slippage and poor productivity. With On-Fire's help, we were able to identify and solve both problems."

David Duehren, CTO, Brooktrout Technology
