Stop tracking tasks. Start commanding your portfolio.
Fingertip is a project portfolio system for M365-native organizations.
It connects strategy, steering decisions, and delivery work without moving execution into yet another tool.
CEOs, COOs, and PMOs get a live portfolio health view, role-based ownership, and decision follow-up, deployed inside your Microsoft Teams.
Portfolio leadership disconnects, when execution is hidden
Project portfolios fail in Teams when visibility is manual, ownership is fuzzy, and status is negotiated. Fingertip makes portfolio health, roles, and follow-through explicit.
Problems with the old way of leading:
- Your portfolio is a blind spot for leadership
Leaders do not see what is off track until it is too late. Updates live in many places, so the real situation stays unclear. - Status reporting turns into theatre, not control
Status looks good in slides, but reality is different. People spend time explaining, not fixing, and problems surface late. - Responsibility is shared, so accountability disappears
Many people are involved, but nobody owns the result. Work moves between teams, and follow-through becomes optional.
Fingertip's project portfolio solution:
- Your portfolio becomes predictable and manageable
Leaders see risks early and can act in time. Progress and blockers are visible in one place, so fewer surprises hit late. - Roles are clear and they hold under pressure
Each initiative has clear owners and clear roles. The right people are involved at the right time, and decisions do not get stuck. - Accountability is explicit, so execution is reliable
Everyone knows who is accountable and who executes. Next steps are assigned and tracked, so work actually moves forward.
“Fingertip connects long-term strategic initiatives to project portfolio execution. It lets us steer without separate reporting and see the full picture in one view.”

“When each team’s Kanban workflow connects to the portfolio, we see real progress and bottlenecks. We can intervene early, without delay.”

“Bringing our annual planning data into Teams changed the conversation. We saw why work got stuck and what to do next.”

Structure programs, projects, and tasks in one view
Model portfolios as a tree in Teams, linking programs, projects, subprojects, and tasks into one governed structure inside your Microsoft 365 tenant.
Leaders navigate from top priorities to underlying work without losing context, while teams keep execution in their own channels and plans.
Impact: fewer duplicate initiatives, clearer scope boundaries, and faster cross-team coordination, measured by fewer escalations and less rework each quarter.
Make accountability clear
for every item
Assign ARI roles on every project item, including Teams groups, so Accountable, Responsible, and Informed parties are explicit and permissioned.
In day-to-day work, owners know who drives outcomes, contributors know what to deliver, and stakeholders stay aligned without being pulled into meetings.
Impact: higher follow-through, fewer stalled workstreams, and less coordination noise, visible as fewer handoff delays and fewer ownership disputes over time.
Status traffic lights
and lifecycle phases
Use traffic-light progress and lifecycle states to standardize status across the portfolio, from not started to running to done, in Teams.
Teams update one signal with a short note, and leadership sees risk concentration instantly, then drills into the underlying tasks and context.
Impact: earlier interventions, fewer late surprises, and higher delivery predictability, measured by reduced schedule slippage and fewer critical items overall.
Prioritize, plan, and
deliver on a timeline
Prioritize projects in Kanban and validate timelines in a Gantt view, while aggregating Microsoft Planner tasks from multiple Teams channels.
Drag-and-drop updates keep priority and dates current, and everyone sees dependencies and workload trade-offs without rebuilding plans in PowerPoint weekly.
Impact: better resource focus, fewer conflicting commitments, and faster reprioritisation, measured by fewer context switches and fewer abandoned initiatives per quarter.

Frequently asked questions
What is project portfolio management, and why does it fail in Teams?
Project portfolio management is portfolio-level governance: prioritization, resourcing, and steering across multiple initiatives. It fails in Teams when the work is spread across chats, files, and separate task tools, so leaders never get one trusted view. Fingertip adds the governance layer that Teams lacks.
How is this different from Microsoft Planner?
Planner helps teams manage tasks. Fingertip governs initiatives across teams with portfolio visibility, decision follow-through, and role clarity. You can keep team execution where it belongs while leadership steers the portfolio with one operating model.
How is this different from Microsoft Project?
Project is built for project scheduling. Fingertip is built for leadership governance: cross-project steering, accountability, and decision traceability inside Teams, so the organization stays aligned without creating a parallel reporting machine.
Who typically owns this internally, the PMO or the executive team?
Both. The PMO often runs the cadence and reporting logic, while the executive team owns prioritization and decisions. Fingertip supports that split by making ownership and governance visible, not implicit.
What ROI should a leadership team expect?
Less time spent on manual status collection, fewer re-opened debates caused by missing context, and faster resource decisions when priorities shift. In practice, you trade recurring reporting work for a living portfolio view and decision-linked follow-through.
Do we need to change how teams execute projects?
No. Fingertip changes the operating model for steering and follow-through. Teams can keep their preferred delivery practices. Leadership gets a consistent way to see progress, clarify ownership, and make decisions that stick.
How fast can we get a portfolio view that leaders trust?
You start with one portfolio and one cadence. Fingertip is Teams-native and can be deployed in the customer’s own Microsoft 365 tenant, so you can pilot quickly and expand once the view proves reliable.
Is this secure, and where does the data live?
Fingertip is deployed in your own Microsoft 365 tenant under your governance and permissions. The No-SaaS architecture is designed for full data ownership and enterprise security controls.
What does a typical rollout look like?
Start with one portfolio scope and one leadership cadence. Define ARI roles, reporting logic, and steering decisions, then run the first cycle inside Teams. Expand once you can see progress and bottlenecks without manual reporting.
Ready to make projects drive results?
Fingertip helps you establish a project portfolio that creates results safely, predictably, and inside Microsoft Teams.
