Modern Project Management You Truly Own

A fast, intuitive tool you can host, shape, and trust.

Simple

Scalable

Private

Own your data without IT overhead

Your project management system knows everything about your priorities, tasks, and teams—it captures how your organization works and what matters most. This is information you should own, not rent from a vendor.

Host your way

Host it on your trusted cloud provider or on your own infrastructure.

Effortless setup

Set it up quickly, without needing a dedicated IT team to help.

Full portability

Move it when needed, without restrictions from any vendor.

A simple model that scales

AI is transforming organizations, but human understanding and good judgment are still what truly set us apart. PM Engine's model is built on the understanding that people naturally perform better when they can grasp simple concepts and work with clear models.

A clear list of what matters, in the order it matters

Collect all work for a project into a single, prioritized list. This "backlog" is a living, always up-to-date record of the expected deliverables. It helps you focus on what needs to be done, without immediately worrying about who will do it or how.

Why this approach works:

See the big picture at all times. Focusing on what instead of how reduces mental overhead, helping you track overall progress.
Keep plans current without hassle. The simple list format makes updating your project status straightforward.
Stay focused on real outcomes. Organizing by deliverables rather than activities ensures you're building toward tangible results.

Help teams focus on what moves the work forward

Provide a clear, clutter-free space where teams can focus on their highest priority work. Decks in PM Engine are dedicated team workspaces, designed for collaboration and moving work forward.

Why this approach works:

Teams stay focused with a limited, manageable set of high-priority work—preventing overwhelm and maintaining motivation.
A clear, visual layout helps everyone see what's progressing, where things might be stuck, and what their next personal task should be.
Decks offer teams the autonomy to adjust how they work without affecting other parts of the organization. This allows teams to stay adaptable and improve their processes.

Built-in flexibility for real-world scenarios

Orchestrate work across teams and projects while maintaining clarity and simplicity. Move work from a backlog into a Deck to hand it off to a team. A Deck can pull work from multiple backlogs—and a backlog can feed into many Decks. This makes it easy for teams to contribute to multiple projects, and for projects to draw on multiple teams.

Why this approach works:

Keeps simple setups simple. When a team is clearly working on a single project, the setup remains easy. One backlog, one Deck stays straightforward to use—no extra complexity added when you don't need it.
Scales gracefully. As things expand with more teams and projects, the structure flexes without becoming messy.
Focus on what matters. Decks and backlogs remain clear and independent, so you can concentrate on planning or execution.
