Everything Cadence does, in depth.
Five pillars, one product. Each area is built to show the real position and to enforce the discipline that keeps a portfolio honest.
The whole plan in one place.
From the portfolio down to the task, with the dependencies and risks that decide whether it lands.
Portfolio to workstream
Portfolios, programmes, projects and workstreams, with access scoped to what a person owns.
Milestones with a baseline
Baseline dates beside the forecast, so slippage is a number and not a feeling, with a confidence on each.
Dependencies and the critical path
A Gantt with a critical path toggle, so the chain that moves the date is obvious.
RAID and decisions
Risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies in an appetite aware register, beside a searchable decision log.
Requirements and traceability
Requirements traced to objectives, deliverables, evidence and benefits, so scope has a spine.
Change control
Scope changes raised, drafted by the Quill agent, and decided at a forum, never in a corridor.
Governance the tool enforces.
Not implied by a template, but held by the product: gates that cannot self pass and decisions that are recorded.
Forums and agendas
Standing forums with meetings and agendas the Forum agent pre builds from the live signals.
Stage gates
Gate templates by methodology, where a gate cannot pass on a team's own say so.
The decision log
Every decision recorded with its forum, date and rationale, and searchable later.
Prioritisation
A RICE scored round with a visible cut line, so investment is a choice and not a queue.
Computed beside stated.
The position the data computes, shown next to the position a team states, so the gap is visible early.
Computed versus stated
Reporting derives RAG from milestones, tasks, risks and actions, and puts it beside the stated colour.
Check ins drafted by Pulse
The weekly check in pre drafted from the project's own data, with RAG discipline before it can be submitted.
The watermelon counter
A count of the projects that are green on the outside and red on the inside, so optimism has a number.
Capacity, money and value, joined up.
In the same place as the delivery they pay for, so trade offs are made on the real numbers.
Capacity and allocations
A demand versus supply heatmap with holidays and working patterns, so over allocation shows before it bites.
Financials
Budgets, forecasts and actuals split by capex and opex, run and change, phased by month.
Earned value
Cost and schedule variance, CPI and SPI and a forecast at completion, where the data is rich enough.
Benefits
Cashable and non cashable benefits tracked from plan to realisation, with a curve you can defend.
Where you are, where you are heading.
The flagship view: maturity, the trajectory to target, the delivery behind the move, and one health index over it all.
The maturity grid
Domains assessed on each dimension, current to target, with the biggest gaps ranked.
Trajectory and ambition gap
The trend to date projected to a horizon, with the gap to the target made explicit.
The delivery swimlane
The programmes advancing each domain, with their project RAG rolled up beside the maturity move.
One health index
Five domains of health blended into a single number, each component linking back to its source.
Historic rewind
Snapshot the whole grid and rewind to see what the picture looked like at any point.
Atlas and board packs
Atlas narrates the journey with every claim cited; Deck turns the pack into an editable board deck in one click.
