What is Pie?

Pie makes complex projects simple to execute and govern, and it’s easy to adopt by team members. It’s especially made for IT consulting firms and new product development departments.

Pie helps you drive your projects with frameworks and repeatable processes that you can improve to ensure superior project results.

Generative AI is now available for generating project plans from scratch. You can also use Pie to execute hybrid agile projects that have both agile and waterfall method needs.

Project management tools are defined in three categories:

  1. Task-focused tools like Asana, Microsoft Project, and Monday. Good for task list needs.
  2. Developer-focused tools like Jira and GitHub. Good for coding ticket tracking needs.
  3. Process-focused and portfolio-focused tools like Pie. Good for flexible methodology-driven project needs.

If you need category 3 for repeatable-type projects that thrive on good process content and management portfolio governance, then Pie is the better fit for your needs. If you just need a task list tool or a developer ticketing system, we can do that, but the other tools are just fine. If you want a tool to help you think slow, react fast with phased projects, such as for consulting client engagements or new product development lifecyles, then Pie is a better fit.

What is Pie?


Pie Product Details

Customers tell stories about why they choose to switch from other tools like Zoho Projects and Asana over to using Pie. The main reason is the "pie" design that makes sense for projects that have some complexity where they are broken into phases. Pie calls these "pie slices" and makes it easy to visualize what to do and what is happening.

The Pie Dashboard is a "game changer" according to a project management consultant who has found other tools frustrating to use. The Pie Dashboard provides visual snapshots on where the issues and bottlenecks are located and makes it easy to take action.

The Pie "Recipe" feature is designed to help your organization establish repeatable project processes that can easily improve over time. Pie even includes a "Pie Store" that displays ready-to-use recipes for Pie users to import for free.


Pie Support & Customer Service

The Pie support model is to eliminate any backlog of application issues by staying on top of any defects and fixing them immediately as they appear. Pie uses a "continuous deployment" model where fixes and improvements can be deployed multiple times during a week.

You can reach support via live chat, email, or phone call at no extra charge. Pie responds quickly and professionally.

PIE Matrix has allowed our Software Development Teams and Software Implementation Teams streamline their projects and fine tune their processes. We've been able to utilize PIE Matrix to allow for better visibility to project progress and for new customer training. It's been a great addition to our company culture.

This app makes technical communication between PMs and Business Executives effortless. Visual displays of "What Happened?" "What is Happening?" "What should be Happening?" are the best in the business.

PIEmatrix is hands down the best lightweight PM and Process Tool on the market. It allows you import all of your currently running projects from Microsoft Project seamlessly. And, you could get your whole team set up in only a day or so. Although they are not as well known as some of the big guys (e.g. AtTask), their product is easy to use and well supported. Best elements of PIEmatrix are: - Fast interface. - Completely SaaS, pick up from any computer. - Library feature: you can find existing templates and store your teams templates. I recommend you check our PIEmatrix.
