PROJECT RE:WIRED sits above Jira, Asana, and your documents, turning fragmented project data into governance-ready intelligence for project managers, PM teams, and project management organisations.
AI-powered governance intelligence platform that helps PMOs automate reporting, improve project governance visibility, and reduce manual Jira reporting effort.
Honest comparison · Governance intelligence
Most vendor comparisons are structured to embarrass the competition. This one is not. Jira, Asana, and Microsoft Planner are excellent at what they were built to do, and any honest evaluation has to start there.
The short version: Jira, Asana, and Planner are systems of record for work. PROJECT RE:WIRED is a layer for governance intelligence that sits above them. The two categories are complementary, not competitive. Removing your delivery tool and replacing it with us would degrade your team's ability to deliver. Removing your governance layer and expecting your delivery tool to fill the gap is what most PMOs are doing today, and it is why Friday afternoons are spent hand-assembling status packs.
These are the categories where each tool leads. If your problem is in any of the areas below, buy the tool named beside it. We are not a substitute.
Jira
the reference implementation for engineering-led delivery
Asana
the strongest work-management story for non-engineering teams
Microsoft Planner
the right choice if your organisation lives in Microsoft 365
If any of these are on your critical path, keep your existing tool. We do not duplicate them, and we are not going to.
Agile boards, sprints, and backlogs
No boards, no story points, no velocity. Jira is the answer, and we are not going to write a second-best version of it.
Workflow automation engines
Asana's rule builder, Jira automation and Power Automate are mature products. We do not compete with them.
Task-level chat and collaboration
No comment threads on every task. Planner's Teams-embedded task chat is the right pattern; conversation belongs in the tool the team uses daily.
Developer tooling
No git integration, no CI/CD hooks, no release management. If your projects ship software, your delivery tool is the source of truth for that work, we read from it.
Native time tracking
We do not track time or produce timesheets. Asana Advanced or a dedicated tool like Harvest or Toggl are the right answers.
A rich native task layer
Our task and timeline views exist so imported data has somewhere to live and be inspected. If you try to run a team in them you will find them thin, by design.
"We sit above your work management tool, not beside it. Your team keeps working the way they already work."
A shorter list than most vendor pages give you, deliberately narrow. What is on the list, we do properly.
Persisted governance history, not conversational answers
Ask Planner Copilot about risk exposure and it drafts an answer; close the chat and it is gone. PROJECT RE:WIRED persists risk exposure as a scored, dated number that trends over time. The difference is not which AI is smarter, it is whether the output is ephemeral or auditable.
A cross-tool intelligence layer, not a single-source view
Jira reports on Jira data. Asana on Asana. Planner on M365. We read from all three simultaneously, alongside Confluence, Teams and Slack, and produce a unified governance view, one coherent picture instead of three separate dashboards.
Scope drift with cumulative financial exposure
None of the three delivery tools calculates cumulative scope movement across many small approved changes. Ours does, and expresses the drift in both percentage and financial terms against a locked baseline.
A 10-dimension Governance Maturity Assessment with benchmarking
There is no equivalent in Jira, Asana or Planner. A structured evaluation across ten dimensions of governance practice, producing a benchmarked score and a specific improvement roadmap, a diagnostic, not a dashboard.
Board-ready governance packs generated from live data
The delivery tools produce dashboards and AI-drafted status text. Neither is a governance pack, a narrative document a steering committee can be held to, with risks scored, decisions attributed, scope drift quantified, and delivery confidence rationalised. Ours is generated in minutes from live data across connected tools.
Automated RAID with deduplication, provenance, and portfolio aggregation
Jira and Asana can hold RAID-shaped data in custom fields. Planner Copilot can extract action items from transcripts. Neither offers probability × impact scoring, exposure trending, deduplication of items re-mentioned across meetings, or portfolio-wide aggregation.
Ordered the way you should read it: start with the delivery layer (where the three tools lead), move through the reporting middle ground, and end with the governance intelligence layer (where we sit).

Footnotes on partial capabilities
This is the most reasonable objection to a governance intelligence category. Jira has Atlassian Intelligence and the Strategic Intelligence bundle. Asana has AI Studio. Planner has the Copilot agent. All three genuinely help with the writing part of governance work, drafting status updates, summarising risks, answering questions in natural language.
Here is the honest distinction. Their AI features draft text and answer questions. A governance intelligence layer keeps a durable record. When Planner Copilot tells you that risk exposure has increased, that is a helpful conversational answer. When PROJECT RE:WIRED tells you the same thing, it is because a scored, dated exposure number moved from 42 to 51 between March and April, and both values are queryable next quarter when a sponsor asks how you knew.
Neither approach is objectively better in every situation. If you need faster status reports and better in-tool summaries, the AI in your delivery tool is the right upgrade. If you need an auditable governance record that trends over time and produces board-ready narratives from live data across multiple tools, that is what we do.
From August 2026, Atlassian's data contribution policy collects metadata and in-app data from Jira and Confluence Cloud by default to train its AI models. Only Enterprise customers can fully opt out. PROJECT RE:WIRED does not train models on customer project data, and our Teams and Microsoft 365 connectivity is metadata-only by architecture, message content is never read. If your PMO is in a regulated industry, this is worth including in vendor due diligence for any AI-heavy tool.
Honesty cuts both ways. There are three groups for whom we are the wrong answer.
But if you are a senior PM or PMO lead running delivery competently in Jira, Asana, or Planner, and still spending Friday afternoons hand-assembling RAID logs, risk narratives, and steering packs from data those tools hold but cannot interpret, that gap in the table above is your job description's worst part. It is also, deliberately and only, what PROJECT RE:WIRED does.
Your work management tool is fine. Keep it. We will read from it.

Category differentiation
Most project tools track tasks. PROJECT RE:WIRED helps leadership teams understand governance, reporting quality, delivery confidence, escalation visibility, and PM performance above operational Jira data.
The platform transforms scattered reporting into governance intelligence for executives, PMs, delivery leaders, and enterprise transformation teams.
Pillar topics
PROJECT RE:WIRED doesn't replace your tools of record. It creates structured intelligence above them, governance, maturity, risk, and delivery confidence normalized for leadership.
Pull from Jira, Asana, Slack, Teams, and documents into one structured intelligence layer. No more chasing collaborators for status, the data speaks for itself.
Score projects across 10 governance dimensions. Track who's improving, who's stalling, and where systemic capability gaps threaten delivery across the portfolio.
Continuously detect unowned risks, overdue actions, missing decision logs, and unvalidated assumptions, surfacing the gaps your steering committee will ask about before they do.
Heatmaps, early warning signals, and severity-ranked attention lists. Give leadership a single view of delivery risk across every project in the portfolio.
Forecast slippage, stalled decisions, and governance failure signals before they escalate. Data-driven confidence scoring replaces gut-feel status updates.
Every insight is source-traced, editable, and formatted for boards and steering committees, structured governance intelligence, not raw AI chat output.
Project management is one of the most under-supported professions in the modern enterprise. PMs carry the delivery, write the reports, chase the risks, and absorb the pressure, usually with tooling built for engineers or generic task tracking. PROJECT RE:WIRED exists for them.
Every feature is judged against one question, does this give a project manager an hour back? If not, it doesn't ship. Status reports, RAID logs, risk registers, executive briefs, all designed to compress days of admin into minutes.
Speed is meaningless if quality drops. Every output is grounded in your project's own data, structured to PMI and PRINCE2 conventions, and tuned to read like the work of a senior PMO professional, not generic AI prose.
Project managers stake their credibility on every report. We obsess over defensibility, every claim traceable to source data, every score explained, every recommendation accompanied by the reasoning behind it.
Every artefact recommends the next best move grounded in PMI, PRINCE2, and modern delivery conventions, so PMs get coaching, not just output. The right structure, the right cadence, the right governance habits, applied automatically.
Surfacing risks, slippage signals, and governance gaps before they materialise, so project managers act on problems while they are still cheap to fix.
Stress-test schedule, scope, and resource decisions in seconds. Compare delivery paths, model the impact of a change request, and walk into the conversation with a defensible recommendation.
If we ever stop saving you time or improving the quality of your work, we've failed. That standard sits above every roadmap decision we make.
The hub is organised around what project managers actually do every week, not around AI features. PROJECT RE:WIRED supports, accelerates, and elevates these activities, reclaiming hours of PM time each week by turning the Jira, MS Project, and spreadsheet data that already sits there into governance-ready outputs, no extra data entry required.
Indicative figures for a PM running ~3 projects, based on a typical sprint cadence. RE:WIRED reads Jira issues, sprints, and changelogs you already capture, no extra data entry, and turns them into governance-ready outputs.
Auto-summarise issue status changes, sprint scope, and blockers into a weekly exec update.
Detect overdue issues, dependency slips, and scope drift, then propose RAID entries for review.
Compute health, throughput, and forecast variance from sprint velocity and ticket flow.
Generate the slide narrative, action carry-overs, and minutes-ready agenda from the live Jira state.
Gap analysis
PROJECT RE:WIRED helps organisations detect project management governance gaps across reporting quality, escalation visibility, delivery confidence, and PMO consistency.
The platform enables governance gap analysis using AI-driven reporting intelligence across enterprise portfolios.
Reporting quality
Surface inconsistent status updates, missing RAG rationale, and stale narratives before they reach the steering committee.
Escalation visibility
Catch unresolved risks, overdue actions, and silent blockers that never make it into executive packs or portfolio reviews.
Delivery confidence
Triangulate schedule signals, scope drift, and dependency exposure to score how trustworthy each project's forecast really is.
PMO consistency
Detect deviations from your governance baseline, missing templates, skipped reviews, and gaps in cadence across teams and BUs.
RE:WIRED vs Strategic Portfolio Management
Traditional Strategic Portfolio Management platforms, OnePlan, Planview, ServiceNow SPM , demand migration, integration projects and re-training. RE:WIRED delivers the governance outcomes without the disruption.
Keep Jira, Asana, Teams, Slack, Notion, Microsoft 365 and your spreadsheets. RE:WIRED sits above them as a governance layer, nothing to rip out, no data to move.
Jira, Asana, Teams, Slack, Notion, Microsoft 365 and spreadsheet intelligence unified into a single governance surface for PMs, PMOs and steering committees.
Every risk, action and recommendation is traced back to the source document, ticket, meeting or message, no black-box AI, no unverifiable claims.
Governance reports, status packs and executive briefings generated on demand, not after two days of PM heroics in PowerPoint.
10-dimension governance maturity scoring highlights the controls, artefacts and processes you're missing before an auditor or steering board finds them.
Live in an afternoon versus the 6,12 month implementation cycles typical of OnePlan, Planview or ServiceNow SPM.
Designed for individual PMs, mid-market PMOs, consultancies and transformation teams that don't have, and don't want, a full Strategic Portfolio Management suite.
How to Choose · GIRF Framework
Seven criteria that separate a real governance layer from a reporting wrapper. Apply them to any vendor in this category, including PROJECT RE:WIRED. Critical criteria are disqualifying if absent; high-weight criteria differentiate shortlisted vendors; the qualifying criterion is a hard prerequisite.
Criterion C1
Does the platform lock the original scope, budget and schedule as a read-only baseline before any changes are logged?
Ask the vendor
"Show me the original baseline for a project mid-flight. Is it immutable? Can I compare it directly to today?"
Criterion C2
Does it detect and quantify drift that accumulates gradually across many individually-small changes?
Ask the vendor
"If I approve fifteen small changes each below the escalation threshold, do you show the cumulative scope movement and financial exposure?"
Criterion C3
Are decisions recorded with the options considered, the decision-maker and the rationale, not just the outcome?
Ask the vendor
"Show me your decision log. Can I see rejected options, the named decision-maker, the date, and export it as audit evidence?"
Criterion C4
Is the RAID log maintained automatically from live data, with probability × impact scoring and exposure trending?
Ask the vendor
"Show me a risk added from a meeting transcript. Is it scored? Can I see the exposure trend over the last 90 days?"
Criterion C5
Does governance intelligence persist and aggregate across all projects, not only the one currently open?
Ask the vendor
"Rank all projects by risk exposure and governance maturity in one view. Is it persisted, dated intelligence or a live calculation that disappears?"
Criterion C6
Can a board-ready governance pack be produced in minutes from live data, without manual reformatting?
Ask the vendor
"Generate a governance pack for a demo project right now. How long did it take? Is it a narrative document or a screenshot deck?"
Criterion C7
Does it read from the delivery tools your team already uses, Jira, Asana, Planner, Teams, Slack, Confluence, without requiring migration?
Ask the vendor
"Which tools do you connect to in production today via OAuth or webhooks? Show me a live Jira or Asana connection pulling real data."
Any one warrants a hard question. More than two in the same demo, walk away.

PMOs, steering committees, and delivery leaders use PROJECT RE:WIRED to surface the intelligence their project tools were never designed to provide
“PROJECT RE:WIRED surfaced six governance gaps across our portfolio in the first week, unowned risks, overdue decision logs, stalled change requests. The steering committee now has one intelligence layer instead of chasing PMs for fragmented updates.”
VP of Project Delivery
“Board reporting went from 8 hours to 20 minutes. But the real value? We caught a €400K scope exposure from unresolved change requests that no single tool was tracking. PROJECT RE:WIRED connected the dots across systems.”
Senior Programme Manager
“We've used every PM tool on the market. PROJECT RE:WIRED is the first that gives leadership structured intelligence about what's going wrong and why, not just task lists and Gantt charts. It's a governance layer, not another dashboard.”
