The Shibumi Platform provides this feature/functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “Configuration” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required. For example, the Shibumi platform can be configured to define any “Parent > Child” relationship. An example of a relationship here could be an “Initiative” sitting under a “Workstream”. Under this “Workstream” you could have a one to many relationship where you have many “Initiatives” rolling up under the “Workstream”. Furthermore, additional relationships can be defined such as “Associating” one Initiative with another Initiative. “Dependencies” can be defined between work items at any level as well, for example “Initiative 1” could be dependent upon “Initiative 2”.

Work items such as “Activities” can be added freely, provided the user has appropriate permissions. Activities can be linked to an Initiative or milestones. Dependencies can be added. And overdue Activities can be reported on or notified to the appropriate team members.

Any “attribute” such as these can be made available out of the box. customers staff will also be trained on how to add, delete, or update existing attributes into the future without requiring assistance from the Shibumi team. Based on the responses to the fields, the Shibumi platform can be configured to send out notifications, trigger a workflow based on business logic, or initiate any other “if this then that” workflow based on pre-defined business logic. Furthermore, security rules and permissions can be defined down to the field level, ensuring (where appropriate) only staff with permissions can edit these fields, and when appropriate in the workflow the fields can be locked down as a “read only” attribute.

The Shibumi Platform provides this feature/functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “Configuration” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required. For example, the configuration capabilities of the Shibumi platform ensures various roles can be defined such as “Initiative Owner”, “Initiative Contributor”, “Viewer”, and so on. An unlimited amount of role types can be defined. Furthermore, “Users” or “Open Roles” (such as a vacant position or a branch) can be added to any work item (such as an initiative) in the solution. If a user is assigned to a role, the platform will instantiate the permissions of that role on the item they have been assigned to. The platform will also send out a notification to the user to click into the initiative. Finally, free text can be leveraged to simply “type in” the names or role types of various staff members if customers do not wish to use the “Role” fields.

These two fields, along with any other fields, can be visualised to the user in the format of a form, a table, or in various other formats. The solution can also dynamically change the “look & feel” of the UI/UX based on certain conditions, such as, for example, what stage the initiative is in or where it sits in the organisational structure.

At any time, provided they have the appropriate permissions in place to view and/or edit the fields, users can log into the Shibumi platform and make changes to the fields and details related to their initiative. Shibumi can be flexibly “Configured” to send out notifications or alerts to the PMO/Workstream sponsor upon certain conditions being met, such as (in your example) milestone or impact changes.

Customers can either leverage the OOTB “Green/Amber/Red” status functionality provided by the Shibumi solution, or the solution can be “Configured” to support any number of status/flags. Furthermore, these status/flags can be manually assigned by appropriately permissioned users, or the system can enforce or “calculate” the status via configurable business logic.

Goals can be assigned to projects and Portfolios and a set of approved KPI’s established to ensure consistent benefits realization.

Acceptance criteria can be defined and recorded to ensure projects and portfolios meet the requirements before benefits are considered realized

Shibumi is uniquely capable of tracking benefits realization throughout stages of execution and tracking and forecasting benefit realization. This is a key differentiator.

Shibumi Dependency Mapping Module can provide this capability.

Organisational structure (such as hierarchy) will be defined in Shibumi. And staff members can be added into their relevant position in the hierarchy. This information can be viewed or reported on. Furthermore, additional information on key stakeholders can be added into Shibumi as required by the Initiative Owner or Contributors. “Areas”, “Workstreams”, “BUs” can be pre-defined, but users with appropriate permissions can flexibly add new items into Shibumi as well. Finally, if this information is to be housed in a CRM, the Shibumi platform can optionally leverage its API to integrate that data back into the appropriate location in the Shibumi platform.

The Shibumi Platform provides this feature/functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “Configuration” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required.

The Shibumi Platform provides this feature/functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “”Configuration”” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required. For example, a “Once per week” or “Once per month” notification could be sent out to the Initiative Owners, taking them to a “Milestone Management” dashboard, summarising all key upcoming/due Milestones. Furthermore, ad-hoc alerts/notifications can be sent out to Initiative Owners notifying them of Milestones which are due and are about to slip.

Approval workflows can be re-initiated based on any change in the questions/answers associated with the Priortization Scoring. Furthermore, different approval workflows can be leveraged depending upon the answers to each question. For example, “If the answer is “X”, go to this approver”, and “if the answer is “Y”, go to that approver. Notifications can be sent out in line with the change in questions, and both approvers and/or Initiative Owners/Contributors can be notified “In App” or via email.

The Shibumi Platform provides this feature/functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “Configuration” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required. For example, an “in App” notification can be sent when a milestone is changed, a date changes, or when something is due or overdue. Furthermore, the same logic can be applied to email notifications. Shibumi has in-built functionality to limit email notifications to prevent too many going out at once, per the requirement. Additional business logic can be defined via simple Shibumi configuration, for example the Shibumi Platform can notify the Workstream or Business Unit leader if an escalation is required in the event of an overdue critical milestone.

Yes, Shibumi supports full SAML/SAMLv2 integration into any IDP or SSO solution such as Okta.

Shibumi has an extensive library of APIs that enable organizations to bi-directionally integrate Shibumi into any third-party system. This API is based on the industry-leading GraphQL API framework, and any data point in Shibumi can be accessed via the API provided the appropriate authentication & permissions are in place. This API is based on the industry-leading GraphQL API framework, and any data point in Shibumi can be accessed via the API provided the appropriate authentication & permissions are in place. The GraphQL API facilitates any ÒCreate, Read, Update, or DeleteÓ (CRUD) request from authorized & authenticated systems.

Shibumi can be bulk import from MS Excel by simply copying and pasting from spreadsheets or via CSV upload. Shibumi can also print or export data and visualisations into a PDF file.

Shibumi includes a powerful suite of role based access and permissions OOTB. Additionally, the organisational hierarchy of customers will be embedded within the Shibumi solution so staff have appropriate permissions in the solution based on their role in the customers organisation & organisational hierarchy. Furthermore, Shibumi’s flexible configuration capabilities allow customers to define any number of user roles and permissions down to the field level. For example, “View Only” staff in the “Finance BU” might have visibility across all initiatives, but perhaps only edit rights over the initiatives they’re permitted to change or the initiatives they own.

Shibumi includes a number of standard OOTB user roles, such as “Admin” style SuperUsers, “Owners”, and so on. Furthermore, additional user types and roles can easily be configured as required. Just like all other functionality in the Shibumi platform this requires no coding or customisation.

As an Enterprise grade Platform with extremely robust security controls, Shibumi records every single page view, change, time, date, old/new value, and who has made the change. This information is stored in perpetuity for as long as the solution & commercial agreement remains active. It can also be exported and made available at any time by appropriately permissioned users. This functionality ensures customers will have historical views of any value over time.

The Shibumi Platform provides weighting/scoring/prioritisation functionality OOTB. However, customers can also leverage “”Configuration”” to completely tailor the solution to meet the specific needs of the business, with no coding or customisation required. For example, Shibumi can be configured to score or weight answers to questions based on a custom methodology/calculation. This can be configured by Shibumi team members or by trained customers staff members, all via simple configuration with no coding/customisation required. Prioritization “Dashboards” can be visualised at the Program level or Business Unit level. These dashboards enable customers to leverage various visuals to determine which Initiatives have the most potential for success.

Shibumi can be configured to flexibly show a table of data at any location throughout the solution. For example, at the “Business Unit” level, you could have a table of all of the existing Initiatives with columns showing the “Critical Fields” associated with each. This information can be exported to CSV by an appropriately permissioned user, and sent to staff members. If the data is updated outside of Shibumi, it can then be imported/ingested by simple “Copy/Paste” from the CSV/XLS back into Shibumi. Optionally, the Shibumi customers solution can be configured in such a way as to replace external and additional spreadsheets. These spreadsheets can be digitised into the Shibumi platform and staff members can then collaborate around a real-time source of the truth, instead of managing spreadsheets across multiple versions/etc.

Shibumi can support adding documents, files, links, etc. to any Initiative or work item in the solution. As an alternative, the Shibumi team can work with customers to understand the existing documentation templates, and these can be optionally digitised into the Shibumi platform and made as a component of the broader solution.

Existing initiative data can be imported/ingested by simple “Copy/Paste” from a CSV/XLS or other structured data set. Once the Shibumi solution is up & running, users can simply add new initiatives singularly or in bulk using the standard Shibumi UI/UX.

Any table of data and its data fields/columns can be either locked down and/or unlocked to be sorted, filtered, or searched based on various criteria. The “Configuration” of the Shibumi platform enables these tables & columns to be leveraged in any location, and administrators/app owners can self-configure new tables in moments to meet the evolving requirements of the business.

Universal search is available to all users, and provided they have permissions to view the work item (Initiative, for example) the initiative will appear in the search results. Furthermore, search fields can be made available within views/tables of data from within an initiative, providing an organically filtered search field. Shibumi “Configuration” can be used to flexibly define security rules and permissions around view rights, edit rights, and so on. These can be applied at all levels from the program down to the workstream down to the initiative or even the individual field within the initiative.

Customers often comment on the ease of use of the Shibumi platform. The user interface can be configured to enable personalized home pages, dashboards, intuitive and personalized views for different types of users.

The Shibumi platform and User Interface is mobile responsive. The solution can be viewed from desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.

The Shibumi ÒBusiness RulesÓ engine enables customers to flexibly define any number of notification emails or Òin platformÓ notifications to be sent to any user or group of users. Rules can be configured to trigger notifications based on any event, input, or output, at any scheduled time, or when action/approvals are required, or when SLAÕs are breached for example. The flexibility of the ÒBusiness RulesÓ engine ensures that you can send an email notification based on virtually any scenario.

Shibumi natively respects the hierarchy of your organisation, and this enables permissions to be natively applied depending upon where the staff members sit in that hierarchy. For example, the owner of a ÒBusiness UnitÓ can have full administrative rights to that business unit and all downstream teams/functions. But at the same time that ÒBusiness UnitÓ owner may not have any access rights to other business units or upstream business functions.

Yes, Shibumi can be configured so that specific User Types can see the information that is most relevant to them.

Shibumi has a virtually limitless permissions engine. This engine enables admins to apply view/edit/admin style rights to any field in the solution, and these rights can be flexibly defined based on user, user type, role, stage, function, and so on.

Shibumi supports numerous searching and filtering capabilities. Global search enables users to find any element they have access to. Users can also navigate to a specific view, table, or other element within the solution and perform a more filtered search within that data set. Finally, configurable toggles and dropdowns can filter out all data, charts, and views within an entire page so users can Òslice & diceÓ the dashboard to universally filter out what is/is not important to them across a range of views, charts, and tables.

Shibumi can support a range of predictive views which enable the business to forecast and perform Òwhat ifÓ analysis on the current or future state.
