OUR STORY

Crafted by PMO Experts for PMO Experts

When I first started managing a complex portfolio, we opted for free tools like Smartsheet and Monday.com. At first glance, they seemed perfect—quick to set up, easy to use, and budget-friendly. But as the projects grew, so did the chaos. Tasks fell through the cracks, data was scattered, and we had little governance over workflows. What seemed like a simple solution quickly turned into a nightmare of misaligned teams and constant workarounds. Before long, we were forced to overhaul our entire toolkit, creating disruption across multiple projects and setting us back months. It was a hard lesson: while free tools may seem attractive upfront, the lack of structure and control can be costly in the long run.

We’ve seen this story play out countless times, with teams struggling under the weight of insufficient tools, leading to project delays and inefficiencies. That’s what drove us to create Laminar—a purpose-built platform, crafted by PMO experts for PMO experts. It's designed to provide the governance, control, and agility that traditional tools lack, ensuring teams can focus on execution rather than firefighting.

OUR MISSION

Solve problems with a pragmatic lens.

Ferris Wheel

Organizations with low maturity complete only 25% of their projects on time.

Typical gaps include:

  • Lack of intake and prioritization process to approve projects, provide funding, and staff resources.

  • Limited visibility to the current health, dependencies, and risks of in-flight initiatives.

  • Inconsistent reporting, duplication of data entry, and manual slide creation, reducing Project Manager effectiveness.

In our experience, these issues often result from constraints PMO leaders face in obtaining the resources (talent, tools, best-practice processes) needed to successfully carry out their mission. To help clients address this challenge, Gravitas offers a top-notch, yet practical response: the Laminar Portfolio Control Tower™, which delivers the value of a high-quality PMO in a timely and cost-sensitive manner. The Laminar Portfolio Control Tower ™ leverages the breadth of Gravitas’ capabilities, enabling us to deliver outcomes for clients starting day one.

Bring Insight to Oversight.

The powerful information visualization capabilities of Laminar™ have been leveraged in the Portfolio Control Tower, providing unmatched transparency to all PMO participants, including business stakeholders and executives. Pre-configured dashboards, automated reports and configurable alerts for a best practice P-PM organization can be customized to each client’s environment and are enabled with drill-down capabilities, so there is always a single source of truth, easily accessible to authorized users.
