What it does
Meisterplan is a portfolio-planning product focused on capacity and investment decisions. Its official pages describe project prioritization, lifecycle management, resource capacity planning, scenario planning, financial management, and dashboards. The pricing page says licensing is based on resources rather than named users; users are unlimited, and portfolios above 1,000 resources require a quote.
Meisterplan is useful when a portfolio office needs to compare proposed projects against available people and strategic goals. The vendor describes resource-capacity planning, lifecycle management, prioritization, what-if scenarios, financial management, and reporting dashboards. Its resource-based license is an unusual pricing distinction: the official page says users are unlimited and the resource count determines the license, with a quote required above 1,000 resources. The retrieved page did not show a numeric subscription amount, so the budget should be confirmed directly with the vendor. I reviewed the portfolio and pricing pages but did not model a portfolio or test scenario changes.
Strengths
- Resource capacity and scenario planning support portfolio trade-off discussions.
- The vendor’s pricing model is based on resources rather than the number of users.
- Portfolio prioritization, lifecycle, financial, and reporting features are documented.
Watch out for
- Licensing still depends on resource volume, and larger portfolios require a quote.
Best for
- Portfolio managers comparing project demand with resource capacity
- PMOs preparing what-if scenarios and prioritization decisions
