The product, end to end
From first plan to realised benefit — the full PMO lifecycle in one workspace, with the governance rules enforced by the platform instead of the process doc.
01
One source of truth for your portfolio
Vedential replaces the spreadsheet-and-slide machinery a PMO runs on. Plans, registers, budgets, benefits and reporting live in one governed workspace — so the portfolio you present is the portfolio that actually exists.
- ✓Replace disconnected spreadsheets, documents and status decks with a live, permissioned portfolio
- ✓Governance happens inside the workflow — approvals, change control and audit are enforced by the system, not by memory
- ✓See schedule, risk, budget and benefits health across every program before problems become surprises
- ✓Produce steering packs, status reporting and governance documentation in minutes, not afternoons
- ✓Keep tracking after delivery: benefits realisation shows whether projects produced what they promised

02
Plan
Programs group projects; projects hold the work. Currency, timezone and financial year are set once on the program and inherited everywhere below it.
- ✓Program templates in two depths — projects, tasks and milestones, or full governance with starter risks, a stakeholder matrix and a Capex/Opex budget skeleton; every date shifts to your start date
- ✓Gantt with dependencies — including across projects, so a hand-off in one project can gate work in another — plus milestones and go-live markers; drag to reschedule in edit mode
- ✓Scoped baselines: snapshot the committed plan per program or per single project; slippage shows in red against it
- ✓Kanban, calendar and RACI views over the same tasks — no duplicate data entry
- ✓Batched edit mode: make a round of changes, then save or discard them as one decision
- ✓Resource capacity: record each person's hours and leave, allocate a share of their time to each project over dates, and see utilisation by week as a heat map, with the people over capacity on the executive dashboard and in the steering report

03
Govern
The registers a real PMO runs on, with rules enforced by the server — not by good intentions.
- ✓RAID: risks (probability × impact exposure scoring), assumptions, issues, decisions — per-organisation reference numbers (R-001, CR-001…)
- ✓Change control with an enforced lifecycle: Proposed → Under Review → Approved/Rejected → Implemented
- ✓Approved changes lock their scope and cost to protect the audit trail; approvals are stamped server-side
- ✓Every mutation lands in an immutable audit log with attribution that survives account deletion
04
Fund
Budgeting the way finance actually asks for it — not a single 'budget' number.
- ✓Cost plans by month, per project, split Capex / Opex / Other, with estimate-at-completion
- ✓Approved budget as itemised line entries per financial year — operating-plan approvals and change-request adds, kept separate
- ✓Approved change requests join the budget only when you opt them in, classified into the category you choose
- ✓Multi-currency by program; totals never blend currencies; money math is exact to the cent

05
Realise
Benefits tracking that continues after delivery — the discipline most project tools drop at go-live.
- ✓Program-level benefits with monthly planned-versus-actual realisation curves
- ✓Financial and non-financial measures (percentages, counts, custom units)
- ✓Realisation status that rolls up into executive reporting automatically
06
Report
Steering reports generated directly from your live registers — so the pack can never disagree with the data.
- ✓Executive dashboard: portfolio health, milestones, exposure-ranked risks, one-click steering-report PDF
- ✓Performance hub: finance S-curves, Capex/Opex splits, approved-vs-EAC, schedule and risk analytics
- ✓Reported RAG cross-checked by computed health from live delivery data — optimism gets flagged

07
Move data
Bring your existing portfolio in from Excel — and take everything out again whenever you want.
- ✓Full-workbook Excel export (every register, one file) and per-register CSV — on every plan, always
- ✓Bulk import with a dry-run preview: every row validated against the same rules as the UI before anything is saved
- ✓All-or-nothing commits: if one row fails, nothing lands — no half-imported portfolios
08
AI that drafts — you approve (preview)
Four AI capabilities with one consistent rule: the AI drafts, you review and approve. Nothing it produces touches your data until you accept it, and everything you accept is validated exactly like hand-entered work.
- ✓Plan builder — describe a program in plain words; review and edit the drafted projects, tasks and milestones before a single row exists
- ✓Kick-off checklists — drafted from a project's own context; save as a standalone tickable checklist (keeping the timeline clean) or as tasks — and convert any item to a task when it becomes planned work
- ✓Launch-readiness reviews — the timeline cross-examined against documents you tick per run; a read-only report whose actionable findings can become a program checklist
- ✓Executive summaries — drafted from the registers you already have permission to see, landing in an editable field
- ✓It never invents people, monetary amounts or progress — and adversarial (prompt-injection) cases are part of our release tests
The rules the AI works under, in full, with the film: the AI drafts, you decide.

09
Checklists that stay off your timeline
Governance ceremonies deserve tracking — not thirty rows on your Gantt. Checklists live on their own page, grouped by program, and an item becomes a task only when it becomes planned work.
- ✓AI kick-off checklists for a project or a whole program — grounded in what actually exists (an empty risk register gets called out)
- ✓Launch-readiness findings saved as a working checklist
- ✓Your own manual lists, with inline editing and per-item task conversion
- ✓Included in the full workbook export — your data is never the retention strategy
