Create a Plan That Works for Everyone
Meisterplan and the Lean PPM framework help you to comfortably align all roles in your company – without teams having to change the way they work.

Lean PPM reflects your entire portfolio process in dedicated phases, which are perfectly supported by our software:

Strategize & Decide: Portfolio Design
Create effective plans by aligning relevant factors across your portfolio: strategic priorities, timing, dependencies, human resources and financial resources.

Enable individual decisions on working methods and resource allocation, while still monitoring your portfolio centrally in Meisterplan.
