Why does an IT PMO need Workload?
Because compiling slides is not a trade-off job. Workload prepares the Capacity Committee: overloads, movable Soft/Tentative work, assignment scoring, plan vs timesheet. You challenge demand; the CIO decides — you are no longer the committee clerk.
For IT PMOs
Prepare the trade-off. Stop compiling.
Your value is decision quality — not Sunday-night PowerPoint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Workload replace Jira for the PMO?+
No. Jira stays for execution. Workload is the capacity and trade-off prep layer. Tempo sync available by plan.
How do we save reporting time?+
Capacity and conflict views replace much of the manual consolidation. Committee packs start from live data, not a frozen export.
Link to the resource allocation tool?+
Hard/Soft/Tentative allocation is your daily lever; the Capacity Committee is the ritual. See IT resource allocation.
Can we coexist with an existing PPM?+
Yes: PPM for heavy governance if needed; Workload for operational capacity and the weekly ritual. See Workload vs PPM.
Where to start in week one?+
Import teams/projects, lock critical Hard allocations, list >100% people, run a first 30-minute Capacity Committee.
What about Monday / Asana on the business side?+
Business teams can keep their execution tool. The PMO consolidates capacity in Workload for cross-team trade-offs.
