About Businessmap
Businessmap is a commercial project and portfolio management platform that helps organizations connect strategy with execution. It was formerly known as Kanbanize and keeps Kanban boards at its core, now surrounded by tools for managing portfolios, outcomes and capacity.
Platform components include portfolio workspaces, an AI feature set, Kanban boards, outcomes and OKRs tracked from one dashboard, a value stream manager, collaboration canvases, a form builder for requests, integrations, and project and capacity planning. Solutions are grouped by use case, such as lean and agile portfolio management, enterprise PMO, OKR alignment and workflow management.
Industry pages cover mechanical and industrial engineering, oil and gas, pharma and biotech, and banking and financial institutions. Businessmap is sold through demos and free trials, with a partnership program and a pricing page, and it suits larger organizations that run work visually across many teams.
