Seeking fresh insights?

We work with SQL, Access, MySQL and most reporting tools to extract new insights from your current systems. We backstop your own IT staff and follow their processes and procedures.

Project Capacity Management

Overloaded development roadmap?

Delays and technical failues?

Development team utilization measures are rarely used in making project portfolio tradeoffs. We know why.

Wrong Project Priorities ?

Portfolio priorities should be based on objective data and risk assessment. Tradeoffs require a scoring and visualization toolset like On-Fire's Capacity Management Template (CMT) and Portfolio Valuation Template (PVT).

Find out how on-time delivery and productivity improves with On-Fire's CMT and PVT tools. Request a free demo version of each.

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."
