Project management software capabilities
Cerri Project brings together Stage-Gate process governance, portfolio decision-making, resource control, and financial oversight — four integrated capability areas for enterprise project teams.
Trusted by leading organizations worldwide
Built for every layer of program governance
Four integrated capability areas, from portfolio oversight to project execution, designed for enterprise project environments where governance, resource discipline, and financial control are non-negotiable.
Cross-project oversight
Maintain a consolidated view across all active programs. Align priorities, surface risks, and ensure portfolio decisions are grounded in real-time execution data.
Multi-project roll-ups
Aggregate status, progress, and performance indicators across your entire NPD portfolio in a single view. No manual consolidation required.
Program hierarchies
Structure projects within programs and programs within portfolios. Navigate complexity with a clear hierarchy that reflects how your organization actually operates.
Status aggregation
Consolidated health indicators (schedule, cost, risk) rolled up from project execution data and surfaced in real time for PMO and executive review.
Drill-down views
Move from portfolio-level dashboards down to individual project details, milestones, and team activity without switching tools or rebuilding reports.
Risk mapping
Visualise risk exposure across the portfolio. Identify which programs carry the most risk and where unresolved issues may affect gate decisions.
Resource allocation engine
Plan, allocate, and balance engineering, R&D, and operations resources across programs with full visibility into capacity constraints and skill availability.
Allocation tracking
See exactly how each resource is allocated across projects in real time. Prevent over-commitment and ensure capacity is aligned with portfolio priorities.
Workload balancing
Identify overloaded teams and individuals before it affects delivery. Rebalance workload across programs using capacity heatmaps and utilisation views.
Availability forecasting
Project resource availability weeks and months ahead. Align headcount with upcoming program phases before the gap becomes a constraint.
Skill assignment
Match resource requirements to the right people by role, competency, or certification. Ensure critical NPD phases are staffed with the right expertise.
Project financial controls
Track R&D spend and program budgets with precision. Connect financial performance to gate decisions and capital approval workflows.
Budget tracking
Define and track budgets at phase, project, and portfolio level. Monitor planned vs committed spend with real-time visibility into where money is going.
Forecast vs actual
Compare cost forecasts against actuals at every stage. Earned value management (CPI, SPI) surfaces variances before they affect gate decisions or capital plans.
Cost roll-ups
Aggregate project costs to program and portfolio level. Understand your total NPD investment commitment and how it tracks against approved CAPEX.
Financial dashboards
Configurable financial views for PMO, finance, and executive audiences. Eliminate reliance on spreadsheets for portfolio cost reporting.
Capital approvals
Integrate CAPEX approval workflows with gate governance. Ensure investment decisions are tied to structured gate criteria and documented before commitment.
Project execution
Manage the full execution lifecycle, from detailed scheduling to team coordination, document governance, and issue resolution, in a single structured environment.
Gantt charts
Interactive Gantt charts with cross-project dependency management, critical path analysis, and multi-program timelines aligned to phase gate boundaries.
Milestones
Define, track, and report on key milestones across the program lifecycle. Flag milestone slippage early and connect delivery performance to gate readiness.
Task coordination
Structured task assignment, status tracking, and cross-team notifications keep distributed engineering and operations teams aligned across program phases.
Document management
Centralised repository with version control, gate deliverable management, and audit-ready document trails for compliance and governance reviews.
Risk & issue logs
Risk registers with probability and impact scoring. Automated escalation tied to gate readiness to surface issues before they compromise delivery or gate criteria.
Time tracking
Track actual effort against program plans. Timesheet data feeds directly into resource utilisation and earned value reporting.
