your teams' workload, without Excel
Software for CIOs and IT PMOs: know what your teams can really absorb, spot overload before it hits, compare plan to actuals. To keep commitments, not manage tickets.
✓ No credit card • ✓ First steps in ~30 min (team, projects, integration) • ✓ Email support
Built for CIO offices and IT PMOs (20–500 IT staff) — capacity planning, allocation, and timesheet without a 6-month PPM rollout.
Where to start
IT capacity planning: method and software
Know what your IT teams can absorb: method, software, and guide, without shared Excel files.
See IT capacity planningIT team workload plan
What you ask of your teams versus their capacity: IT workload plan, conflicts, and capacity committee.
See the IT workload planPMO resource allocation tool
Hard/Soft/Tentative allocations, transparent scoring, and conflict detection for IT PMOs.
See IT resource allocationAlternative to Excel capacity plans
When to leave the spreadsheet: TCO, real-time conflicts, and timesheet linked to capacity.
Compare Excel vs WorkloadThe Capacity Committee
The ritual that forces the decision: 30 minutes on real capacity, conflicts, and go / defer / stop — without Sunday-night PowerPoint.
Discover the Capacity CommitteeNative, not an add-on
CIO KPIs built in — not a bolted-on report
Time to Market, schedule variance, budget evolution: COMEX material without a side tool or Excel factory.
Time to Market
Measure time between project start and go-live. Compare actual vs planned and identify improvement opportunities.
- Automatic calculation
- Analysis by type/department
Schedule Variance
Track differences between planned and actual dates. Identify delayed projects and improve planning.
- Deadline variance
- Risk identification
Budget Evolution
Historize budget state with snapshots. Visualize evolution and anticipate overruns.
- Historical snapshots
- Overrun alerts
IT capacity management software for CIOs
Net capacity, allocation, conflicts, timesheet — one source of truth for trade-offs.
Team capacity in real time
Net capacity, load and overload per team and per month, on one screen.
Allocation and conflicts
Hard / Soft / Tentative assignments, conflicts detected and profile suggestions ranked by score.
Portfolio and trade-offs
Rank your projects, simulate a scenario and propose transfers: nothing moves without the CIO's sign-off.
Timesheet linked to the plan
Time entry and approval, or sync from Jira, Toggl, Clockify, Azure DevOps, compared with the plan.
IT budgets
Envelopes, internal and external costs, plan vs actual per project and per Run / Build / Innovation type.
Board reporting
CIO KPIs ready to present, PDF, Excel and PowerPoint exports.
This is not a task tool
How is this different from Jira, Monday, or Asana?
Those are execution tools. Workload is the CIO capacity and trade-off layer. Keep Jira for the backlog; use Workload to know whether you can still say yes.
Versus a PPM (Sciforma, Planview) or Abraxio?
A PPM covers heavy governance; Abraxio leans toward IT controlling. Workload is the capacity + Capacity Committee layer for IT orgs of 20–500 — lighter than PPM, more capacity-native than a task board.
Why switch to Workload
Less compiling, more trade-offs
Stop spending hours consolidating spreadsheets: net capacity and conflicts are ready for the Capacity Committee
Say no with facts
Show COMEX who is overloaded and what a new “yes” displaces — not an opinion dressed as a slide
Plan linked to actuals
Timesheet (Jira Tempo, Azure DevOps, Toggl…) against allocations: variance shows up before the slip
Integration without a factory
CSV import from Starter; timesheet sync by plan — not a six-month integration project
Built for CIO / PMO, not tickets
Workload is not Jira or Monday: it is the capacity layer for decisions, not task execution
