Accelerate plan to product execution.

Simulate and accelerate

The time lag between collecting data, evaluating options, and confidently committing to a viable plan can cause you to miss a critical market window. Not with Accept Portfolio. We give you the ability to run scenarios and evaluate alternatives quickly and with greater depth. Use “What if” analysis to simulate the impact of strategy change, market development, or a new competitive threat. Quickly compare tradeoffs—strategy vs. resources, customer demand vs. competitive advantage, strategic alignment vs. revenue. Accept Portfolio brings flexibility, speed, and focus to your product planning process.

No bottlenecks, no delays

Accept Portfolio helps you immediately identify resource constraints and other issues in the planning phase that could delay execution down the line. Highlight gaps between capacity and plan. Manage resource tradeoffs across your portfolio—roles, skills, capacity – and avoid nasty surprises.
