Everything a project needs.
In one place.

From the charter through closeout — WBS, scheduling with Earned Value, risk, budget, stakeholders, workforce, a governed knowledge base and AI assistance. Every module ships today and works with the others.

Task management that keeps everyone aligned.

Manage tasks across your entire project — assign owners, set priorities, track due dates, and filter by any combination of status, priority, or assignee.

  • Title, description, assignee, start & due dates, priority (Low → Critical), and WBS node linkage
  • Filter and sort by any field
  • Quick-edit modal — no page reload
  • Status: To do · In progress · In review · Done

A visual board with four status columns. Move tasks between columns with a single click — status updates instantly via the API, no page reload.

  • Four columns: To do · In progress · In review · Done
  • Cards show title, priority badge, and assignee
  • Status updates in real time — no refresh

Schedule that does the maths for you.

A Gantt timeline over real dependencies, with the critical path computed for you, a saved baseline to measure against, and three-point/PERT estimation. For adaptive work, switch to sprints with velocity and burndown.

  • Task dependencies + critical-path method (float, critical tasks)
  • Schedule baseline, forecast finish, and schedule compression
  • Three-point/PERT estimation + resource leveling
  • Sprints, velocity & burndown for agile and hybrid

Risk, the way the standard means it.

Threats and opportunities, P×I scoring, and quantitative analysis — Expected Monetary Value rolls up to a recommended contingency reserve, and Monte Carlo gives you P50/P80 dates. A governed Risk Register document keeps it audit-ready.

  • Threat/opportunity, P×I score, category, response & fallback plans
  • EMV → contingency reserve · Monte Carlo simulation
  • Triggers, residual scoring & monitoring; assumptions promote to risks
  • A governed, printable Risk Register + Risk Management Plan

Budget with Earned Value, not guesswork.

Cost per WBS node against a cost baseline, planned vs actual, and real Earned Value — CPI, SPI, variance and a forecast. Justify the project up front with cost-benefit analysis (NPV / ROI / payback), and handle multi-currency with a frozen FX snapshot.

  • Cost baseline · Earned Value (CPI/SPI) · variance & forecast
  • Cost-benefit analysis — NPV, ROI, payback
  • Multi-currency + frozen FX snapshot; fiscal quarter/year breakdown
  • Contingency reserve from risk (Σ EMV)

Structure your project before you build it.

The Work Breakdown Structure is the backbone of a PMBOK project — and here it's the backbone of the product. Decompose the work, import an existing WBS from Markdown or CSV, keep a dictionary and control accounts, and formally accept deliverables against it.

  • Requirements + traceability matrix; scope statement + scope plan
  • Bulk import (Markdown/CSV), WBS dictionary, control accounts
  • Tasks, risks and budget all link to nodes
  • Formal deliverable acceptance (Validate Scope)

And the rest of the lifecycle

The modules other tools make you bolt on.

Stakeholders, people, quality, documents, governance and reporting — first-class here, not integrations you have to buy and wire up.

Stakeholders & comms

Power-interest and salience mapping, engagement level vs target with an interaction log, and a communications plan and schedule.

Organisation & workforce

An org-unit structure, staff directory, effort allocation across projects and operations, one capacity truth every schedule reads, and what-if scenarios.

Quality

Quality objectives and characteristics, measurements, cost of quality, and audits — connected to your deliverables, not a side spreadsheet.

Knowledge base

A governed charter and every management plan as living documents — versions, approvals, PDF/Word export, full-text search, diagrams, checklists, internal links, and offline reading.

Governance & change control

A governance plan, phase gates, integrated change control with an approved-change-to-tasks bridge, capability-based roles, and an append-only audit trail.

AI assistance

Bring your own key or use credits: draft documents section by section from your project data, and ask a conversational assistant that reads your project with your permissions.

The PMBOK-8 foundation

Organised around the standard — not bolted onto it.

VanillaPM maps to all five PMBOK 8th-edition process groups and its seven performance domains, and it teaches as it goes: a Guideline on every screen explains the practice, so the tool builds your competence, not just your project.
