DEFINE OUTCOMES
Strategy Management:

Shibumi automatically calculates and reports the benefits realized from your strategic programs, initiatives and projects based on your preferred reporting scheme.
GOVERNANCE
Governance:
Define and implement stages and approval gates to standardize and streamline your approval process for initiatives and projects. Once the stages and approval workflows are set up, Shibumi will enforce your desired approval process and provide reports into the pipeline with the stages you specified.
GENERATE IDEAS

Design idea intake forms and use them to collect business improvement ideas from all corners of your organization and efficiently evaluate their potential impact.
DEFINE BUSINESS CASE
Business Case Management:
With Shibumi, you can drive consistent business case creation to support effective cost-benefit analysis and risk assessments for programs, initiatives and projects.
RISK AND PRIORITIZE
Resource Management:
Define roles, individuals, and skills and manage utilization across multiple initiatives. Let individuals track their time. Use highly visual dashboards, OOTB reports, or our AI model’s analysis capability to detect resource conflicts based on the effort and duration of each initiative or project.
Scenario Planning:
Quickly compare what happens to benefits, costs, and roadmap resources when selecting different initiatives in our Scenario module. Or ask questions about risks, dependencies, timelines, benefits, and costs in natural language and lean on our AI model’s strength in data analysis to instantly draw insights that support trade-off decisions.
MANAGE EXECUTION
Work Planning:
Track detailed milestones and activities at the initiative level. Shibumi supports waterfall, agile, and hybrid working modes. Shibumi can integrate with Jira, ServiceNow, and many other project management tools and grab pertinent information, such as project milestone completion, and reflect it in Shibumi. Use our AI-powered chatbot to ask questions about your work and get insights that help you determine what to work on and when.
Roadmaps:
Create interactive Gantt charts to understand what’s coming up in an initiative or project. Visually track milestones and dependencies.
Risk Issue Assumption Decision (RAID) Log:
Track risks, issues, assumptions, and decisions for each of your initiatives in a central location. Our AI-powered chatbot can help you quickly spot the initiatives that are at-risk, highly complex, and/or have lots of dependencies – so you can get ahead of items that may derail your initiatives.
TRACK BENEFITS
Reporting:
Access real-time reports and presentations to validate whether initiatives are delivering the expected benefits and manage potential impacts. Leverage data-driven insights to optimize a portfolio, drive greater accountability to operational teams, and save program and project managers significant time in reporting and preparing presentations.
