TruePPM

TruePPM

Built for waterfall, agile, and hybrid programs. Every stakeholder — the Scrum Master, the Project Manager, the PMO Director, the Executive — gets the view they need, from the same source of truth.

One platform, every methodology

Section titled “One platform, every methodology”

Most P3M tools force a choice. TruePPM is designed from the ground up so teams can work the way they work — and every stakeholder still sees what they need.

Waterfall

CPM forward/backward pass, milestones, baselines, Monte Carlo risk, EVM. The Project Manager gets a Gantt that actually computes the math — not a timeline disguised as a spreadsheet.

Agile

Sprint boards, WIP limits, velocity tracking, burndown charts, retrospectives. The Scrum Master lives in the board view and never has to open a Gantt.

Hybrid

The same task is both a WBS node and a sprint story. Velocity auto-feeds the CPM forecast. Zero reconciliation meetings. Read the full story →

Terminal window
git clone https://gitlab.com/trueppm/trueppm.git && cd trueppm
docker compose up -d
docker compose exec api python manage.py seed_demo_project --with-personas
# Web UI → http://localhost:5173   (six persona logins, password: demo)
# API    → http://localhost:8000/api/schema/swagger-ui/

Or use the scheduling engine standalone — no server required:

Terminal window
pip install trueppm-scheduler
from datetime import date, timedelta
from trueppm_scheduler import schedule, Calendar, Project, Task, Dependency


calendar = Calendar()  # Mon–Fri working days
project = Project(
    id="p-1", name="My Project", start_date=date(2026, 1, 5),
    tasks=[
        Task(id="t-1", name="Design", duration=timedelta(days=5)),
        Task(id="t-2", name="Build",  duration=timedelta(days=10)),
    ],
    dependencies=[Dependency(predecessor_id="t-1", successor_id="t-2")],
    calendar=calendar,
)
result = schedule(project)
print(result.tasks[1].early_finish)   # 2026-01-21
print(result.critical_path)           # ['t-1', 't-2']

Why TruePPM?

Section titled “Why TruePPM?”

Real scheduling, not task lists

CPM forward/backward pass on every change. You always know which tasks drive your deadline and where you have float. All 4 dependency types with calendar-aware lag.

Monte Carlo risk analysis

Add three-point estimates and get P50/P80/P95 completion dates. Commit to P80 — there’s only a 50% chance you’ll hit the CPM date.

Self-hosted, Apache 2.0

Your data stays yours. Run it on your infrastructure. The scheduling engine ships standalone on PyPI — use it without the API if you just need the math.

Built for collaboration

Real-time WebSocket push, 5-role RBAC, offline-first sync for mobile. Every mutation broadcast to connected clients.
