Acuity PPM
Acuity PPM is a project portfolio management (PPM) software platform that helps mid-market PMOs and business leaders evaluate, prioritize, and govern project portfolios, with an emphasis on improving the quality of portfolio decisions before work begins. The platform supports the full portfolio lifecycle, including work intake, prioritization and scoring, roadmap planning, resource capacity management, financial planning, and project execution. It is designed for PMOs operating at Levels 1–2 of portfolio management maturity — typically organizations transitioning from spreadsheets, shared drives, or fragmented project tools toward a centralized, governance-oriented approach. The architecture scales into Level 3 capabilities such as scenario analysis and portfolio optimization without requiring a platform change. Acuity PPM provides a single source of truth for project, financial, resource, and decision data, enabling consistent reporting and transparent governance across stakeholders. The platform is configurable to organizational structure, scoring criteria, intake workflows, and financial categories. Core capabilities include: • Work intake and demand management — configurable proposal forms, governance workflows, and decision logging to standardize how initiatives are submitted, reviewed, and approved • Prioritization and scoring — weighted value and risk models, risk-value bubble charts, and portfolio heatmaps to support objective, defensible prioritization • Portfolio roadmapping and dependency tracking — Gantt-based timelines, baselines, and cross-project dependency views for sequencing and coordination • Resource capacity planning — heatmaps, role-based and named-resource views, non-project effort tracking, and scenario-based capacity analysis • Project execution — status reports, risk and issue logs, financial planning, schedules, decision logs, lessons learned, benefits tracking, and action items Acuity PPM is structured around two layers of AI-assisted capability that customers can activate as needed. Portfolio Intelligence applies AI to five governance domains — work intake, prioritization, planning, resource capacity, and risk management — to support decisions about what to fund, how to sequence, and where to allocate resources. PMO Operations consists of AI agents that perform research, monitoring, synthesis, and preparation tasks such as risk research, status synthesis, document drafting, dependency monitoring, benefits tracking, portfolio communication, and external strategic scanning. A conversational interface, Crystal AI, provides natural-language access to portfolio data and analysis. All AI outputs are designed to be explainable, source-attributed, editable, and subject to human review before entering approval workflows. The platform follows an AI-Ready, Not AI-Required model: traditional PPM functions operate independently, and AI capabilities are activated based on organizational readiness. Implementations are typically completed within two weeks. Acuity PPM serves organizations across construction, healthcare, financial services, government, higher education, and transit.
