Programme Management Intelligence

Your programme has blind spots. You just haven't found them yet.

Programme leaders spend their weeks chasing updates, manually compiling reports, and discovering problems too late. PRAXIS gives you connected intelligence across your entire portfolio — health, cost, risk, dependencies, and value — so you can focus on the decisions that actually matter.

Built by Dan Taylor — programme leader with 10+ years coordinating 2,000+ initiatives across an 8-product portfolio. PRAXIS encodes that methodology into software.
Sound Familiar?

These aren't failures of competence

They're what happens when complex portfolios outgrow the informal coordination that got them this far.

?
The questions you can't answer
The board asks where programme X stands relative to the product strategy. You check three tools, email two PMs, and still aren't sure.
♦
Dependencies that surface at the worst moment
A 2-week slip in one team cascades through three product streams. Nobody saw it coming because nobody was mapping cross-product dependencies.
£
No idea what anything actually costs
You know the budget. You know the headcount. But you can't tell the board what it costs to deliver a specific benefit, or where you're wasting money on over-allocated resources.
!
Risks surface when it's too late
By the time it hits your desk, the options are damage control or delay. The early warning system doesn't exist.
↕
Reports that take hours to build
Every week you pull data from spreadsheets, format slides, and manually write status reports. By the time you're done, the data is already stale.
⌖
Are we still building the right thing?
Roadmaps fall apart by sprint 3. Benefits were defined at the start but nobody's tracking whether delivery is still aligned to the mission.
What PRAXIS Delivers

Stop chasing. Start deciding.

PRAXIS replaces the manual coordination work with connected intelligence — so you spend your time on judgement, not admin.

Connected Intelligence

Every dimension, connected through one graph

This is what makes PRAXIS fundamentally different. The knowledge graph doesn't just store data — it connects it. A benefit has a cost. A risk has a financial exposure. A dependency slip has a budget impact. A resource over-allocation has a price tag.

Every query traverses multiple dimensions simultaneously. Ask “what if this person leaves?” and PRAXIS follows the chain: person → assigned tasks → critical path impact → effort share → downstream dependencies → cost exposure → value delivery at risk.

Cost Chain
Resource → Task → Daily Cost → Burndown → Forecast
How a person becomes a daily cost figure
Value-Cost Chain
Benefit → Task → Resource → DailyCost → ROI
How much does it cost to deliver this benefit?
Dependency Cascade
Task → DEPENDS_ON → CrossProjectLink → Task
A slip in one project cascades across the portfolio
Resource Exposure
Resource → Tasks → Critical Path → Effort Share
“What if this person leaves?” in seconds
RAID Impact
Risk → Task → Cost → Benefit → Value at Risk
Financial exposure calculated automatically
RAIDD Intelligence

Interconnected. Automated. Not just a register.

Raise a risk and score it as an exception — it immediately appears on the executive dashboard. If a risk's probability reaches 5, it's automatically escalated to the Issues log. If the system determines a risk requires a decision, it's added to the Decisions log automatically. Flag that decision for an executive's attention and it surfaces on their personalised dashboard for action. All dependencies between RAIDD items are automatically identified. If an assumption is approaching a tight date, a risk is automatically created. The whole system is interconnected and automated — while retaining full manual control to add, mitigate, update, and override.

♦Auto-escalation: probability 5 risk → Issue. Risk needing a call → Decision. Tight assumption → Risk.
♦Exception risks surface on exec dashboards instantly — no chasing required
♦RaidLink nodes cross-reference items: a risk can cause an issue, an assumption affects a decision
♦8 methodology constraints with heatmap, matrix, and trend analytics

METIS AI Advisory

Ask anything. Get answers backed by your actual data.

METIS isn't a chatbot with your data pasted in. It has 62 callable tools that execute real Cypher queries against the knowledge graph. It selects tools, chains multiple calls, synthesises results, and remembers context. From daily focus to SteerCo prep to what-if simulation — in plain English.

Simulation
What happens if the API integration is delayed by two weeks?

Resource & Skills Intelligence

Where every person is. What they can do. Where the gaps are.

See where resources are over-allocated, under-utilised, or committed to other projects. The utilisation chart stacks every resource against the team capacity line — over-capacity zones are immediately visible. Resource cards show upcoming gaps with duration badges, total effort, and assigned tasks. At the portfolio level, see your full resource breakdown by skill set: 15 skills tracked, 32 resources, £42.9k daily cost. Concentration risk cards flag single points of failure — when one person is the only resource with a critical skill across 5 projects, you need to know. Understand immediately where there are gaps you can exploit, when resources are committed elsewhere, and whether velocity is hitting the mark.

♦AI-inferred skill tags with 30+ default taxonomy, verified or overridden manually
♦Cost by skill category: Engineering £120k, Design £22.9k, Data £13.9k, Security £11.8k
♦Concentration risks flagged with severity, daily rate, and affected projects

Daily cost calculation down to the resource level

A DailyCost node for every resource on every task on every working day. Rate × allocation × working day. The burndown shows cumulative cost against budget with forecast projection. Category view breaks down Labour, Infrastructure, Testing, Hardware, Licensing, and Consulting — with full CapEx/OpEx split. At the portfolio level, see aggregated costs across all projects with per-project variance and budget usage indicators.

♦£366k spent, £480k budget, £144k variance — RED at +30.2%
♦11 expense categories with CapEx/OpEx sub-budgets
♦10 financial methodology constraints with score floor rules

Value & ROI Tracking

Are we still delivering the right thing? At the right cost?

This is the question every programme leader should be asking — and as far as we know, no other tool gives you the ability to answer it like this. See immediately what each benefit costs to deliver, how much value it returns, and whether it's on track. 14 benefits tracked across 6 projects with £2.2M/yr estimated value and just £93k delivery cost. The bubble chart plots each benefit by progress, value, and cost. The ranking table sorts worst value-for-money first — instantly surfacing descope candidates and highlighting the best returns. Are we still aligned with the mission? Are we still delivering the right thing? This page answers both.

♦Cost attribution: £66k (16%) directly to benefits, £349k enabling work
♦ROI per benefit: £5,229/% for uptime, £12/ticket/month for support volume
♦Descope analysis: cut a benefit, see exactly which resources free up, with skills and day rates

The Builder

Built by someone who's lived the problem

PRAXIS was conceived, designed, and directed by Dan Taylor — a programme leader with over a decade of experience coordinating 2,000+ initiatives across an 8-product portfolio.

After years building methodology at scale, and having successfully completed a major programme of work, Dan had the time and context to encode that experience into software. PRAXIS isn't built from theory or market research — it's built from the specific pain points, governance gaps, and intelligence blindspots that programme leaders actually encounter.

The 102 methodology constraints aren't arbitrary checks. They're the questions a good programme leader asks when reviewing a plan. The connected intelligence chains aren't academic — they're the cross-cutting queries that take hours in spreadsheets and seconds in a graph. METIS isn't a chatbot — it's the analyst you wish you had on every engagement.

The platform demonstrates deep technical capability — 305 API endpoints, a full Neo4j knowledge graph, custom D3 visualisations, AI tool orchestration — paired with genuine domain expertise in programme management methodology, governance structures, and value delivery frameworks.
