What PPM Express is
PPM Express is a portfolio management platform that brings strategy, priorities, projects, people, and costs together for enterprises and SMBs. It supports project, program, and portfolio management, resource planning, financials, benefit realization, roadmaps, OKRs, and strategy. Team Planner allocates people across projects by hours or percent FTE and flags over-allocation. What-if planning compares funding scenarios using strategic and risk factors, budget ceilings, and available capacity.

Integrations include Azure DevOps, Jira, Microsoft Project, Planner, Project for the Web, Smartsheet, monday.com, Power Automate, Zapier, Power BI, and a public REST API. Azure DevOps and Jira two-way sync is limited to Ultra, requires PMO Aggregator, and supports cloud versions only. Pricing starts at $8,000 a year for Enterprise and $25,000 a year for Ultra.
