Realization Technologies provides multi-project management software. Unlike project portfolio management software that automates rules and data based on single project thinking (that is why such software sits on the shelf, and projects continue to miss their targets), the Realization approach was to challenge those rules and develop Project Flow software. Created specifically for multi-project management from the ground up, Project Flow is based on the theory of constraints and critical chain, and is used by a wide range of organizations like ABB, DaimlerChrysler, Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Johnson Controls, LSI Logic, Lucent Technologies, Medtronic, NASA, Pfizer, the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.”
