Compare Acuity PPM vs. Project Planning Pro

Acuity PPM provides Project Management Teams (PMO's) with lightweight and easy-to-use software to manage the project portfolio. Acuity PPM provides a Work Intake module to support demand management and helps you create and evaluate new project requests through prioritization, financial planning and resource management (capacity planning). Once a request is approved, project teams can track project progress with centralized status reports, track key milestones, risks, issues, financial plans, decisions, lessons learned, project and portfolio roadmaps, and resource plans in Acuity PPM. This helps leadership teams select the right projects for the organization. Connect to common Project Management tools such as Jira, Smartsheet, Asana, Wrike, Monday.com, and others. PMO's don't need complicated and cumbersome software, which is too complex for most users to use. Our modular approach allows PMO's to add functionality as they need it, since most Project Management Offices are at maturity level 1 or 2. This allows you to pay only for what you use and not for what you don’t. That's fair.
