Serena Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)

Serena Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)

Serena Project and Portfolio Management provides the right level of PPM functionality to help your organization easily prioritize your project portfolio, run any type of project including agile or traditional waterfall, and provide real-time project visibility throughout the entire development lifecycle.

Serena PPM provides Project Management Offices (PMOs) with the following benefits:

Whether you’re just using Gantt charts or are ready for more robust resource capacity planning or portfolio management, Serena gives you the right amount of functionality you need to get the right projects done.

The right amount of PPM functionality

While Serena PPM offers all the capabilities you would expect from an enterprise project and portfolio management solution – including portfolio management, resource capacity planning, task management, and financial management – Serena PPM can be implemented and used in bite-sized chunks that match your organization's needs and maturity level. Serena's best practice templates, accelerators, and maturity assessments ensure that you get up and running with just enough functionality to make your PPM processes work the way you need them to.

Serena provides complete visibility for all your resources, projects and tasks across the entire application delivery lifecycle.

End-to-end visibility

When is a "completed" project not complete? When it hasn't yet been deployed. As part of Serena Orchestrated Application Delivery, Serena PPM integrates with Serena Release Management, helping everyone see actual status all the way from idea to production. And when used together with Serena Agile Planner, Serena PPM also provides complete project visibility into both traditional waterfall and agile projects, so that everyone can understand the status of all types of projects, regardless of project methodology.

Serena provides an orchestrated and automated process for different people to review and provide input into portfolio decisions.

Collaborative and efficient portfolio analysis

While many PPM solutions can roll up basic project information, only Serena PPM streamlines the entire process of portfolio management. As new project requests are captured, Serena PPM can automatically notify the appropriate business analysts. And instead of PMOs trying to coordinate schedules so that executives can review an online project portfolio together, Serena PPM can streamline the process of capturing feedback from multiple sources. Project approvals can trigger automatic notifications, allowing PMOs to quickly budget and staff the optimal project portfolio.
