Manage your portfolio in Meisterplan with live data from the tools your teams already use.

Let Your Teams Use Their Own Tools

Your teams are more successful when they use the best tools for their work: Jira for agile teams, Asana for marketing, or Microsoft Project for traditionally planned projects. Meisterplan complements these tools with a portfolio-level overview.

  • Stronger Together: Specialized work management tools combined with Meisterplan are far more effective than an all-in-one-suite that tries to do everything.
  • Minimal Change: Your teams can continue working exactly as they do today.
  • Improved Data Quality: You access live data instead of manually maintained data that quickly becomes outdated.

Work with a Rough Portfolio Plan Using Details Directly from Your Tools

Detailed planning for projects that may never happen is a waste of time. With Meisterplan, you can compare initiatives based on high-level requirements and decide early on what is feasible and when.

Detailed planning only becomes necessary once teams begin planning work packages in their delivery tools. This data then flows automatically back to Meisterplan.

Keep the Portfolio Up to Date with Task-Level Changes

If a team postpones a task by two weeks or capacities change, Meisterplan immediately shows you what this means for future planning periods. You can adjust your portfolio and resource plans directly based on the synchronized data.

How Meisterplan and Your Teams' Tools Complement Each Other

Portfolio and delivery have different planning horizons. Forcing both into a single tool results in either too much detail too early, or too little detail too late. Meisterplan separates top-down and bottom-up planning and brings them together again where it matters.
