VPMi is a suite of Project Portfolio Management software used by companies to gain visibility into their project portfolio to manage schedules, budgets, scope, alignment with strategies, balanced scorecard, resources, and documents. The VPMi suite was created, in part, to help prevent miscommunication between business units and IT staff. [cite web
