Acumen PM

Acumen was born from a recognized need for improved project performance, insight and vision, integrating both schedule and cost. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Acumen PM is based in Austin, Texas. Their site is projectacumen.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Acumen PM, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
