From project planning to portfolio steering
Project visibility is valuable. Portfolio clarity is transformational. Keto AI+ helps leaders focus on what matters.
Microsoft Project, Planner, Project Online, Power BI, Teams, and the wider Microsoft 365 ecosystem give organisations familiar tools for planning, scheduling, reporting, and collaboration. For teams already deep in Microsoft, it can be a practical way to manage tasks, timelines, and project status.
Keto AI+ solves a different problem. It helps leaders connect strategy, investments, capacity, risks, and initiatives in one portfolio layer. Instead of managing every project schedule, Keto helps organisations decide what to prioritise, fund, pause, or stop.
Microsoft helps teams manage plans. Keto helps leaders steer portfolios.
Who uses Keto AI+
Why teams move beyond the Microsoft Project Ecosystem
Familiar tools can become fragmented
Microsoft’s project ecosystem is broad. Teams may use Planner for tasks, Project for scheduling, Power BI for reporting, Teams for collaboration, and Project Online or Project for the web for portfolio views. Microsoft now also supports portfolio management inside Planner for Premium users.
That flexibility is useful. But for strategic portfolio management, the work often becomes spread across tools, templates, dashboards, and configurations.
Project schedules are not portfolio decisions
Microsoft Project is strong for planning timelines, dependencies, and structured delivery work. Project for the web is described by Microsoft as a cloud-based work and project management tool for planning and managing work of different sizes.
Keto focuses higher up. It is designed for initiative and portfolio-level decisions: what should be funded, where capacity is constrained, and how strategy changes the shape of the portfolio.
Reporting is not the same as steering
Microsoft’s Power BI templates can help teams report on Project and portfolio data. That is valuable for visibility.
Keto is built to support portfolio decisions before they become reports. It helps leadership compare initiatives, model scenarios, and manage trade-offs across strategy, funding, capacity, and risk.
Different tools for different jobs
If your team needs detailed scheduling, Microsoft Project is a strong choice.
If your organisation needs a strategic portfolio layer above delivery tools, Keto AI+ is built for that role.
