JIRA ALTERNATIVE FOR EXECUTIVE PORTFOLIOS

Stop Forcing Issue Trackers into
Executive SteerCo Meetings

Jira is great for sprint tickets. But executives don't care about story point burnups—they care about capital allocation, cross-program critical paths, and real mathematical EVM telemetry.

Why High-Velocity Engineering Orgs Run on Vectis

Real Mathematical EVM

Story points measure effort, not capital health. Vectis computes CPI, SPI, EAC, and VAC dynamically so you always know true project financial performance before budget reviews.

CLI-First Engineering

Never force engineers into slow web forms. Update RAG status, log risks, and toggle gates directly from git hooks or your terminal using npx vectisppm.

16:9 SteerCo Theater

Board members and executive sponsors don't want Jira backlog links. Send them a cinema-grade, live SteerCo link with zero seat licensing fees.
