Know which program needs you, and what to do about it.
Steerline is the PMO platform that reads your registers for you. Every page leads with what is off, what it costs and the next steps, each with an owner and a date. Every change ends in a signed decision, and the board pack writes itself.
The Portfolio page, with fictional example programs.
Status that explains itself
Most PMO tools store status and leave the reading to people. Steerline does the reading, says what it means, and turns it into actions someone owns.
Recommendations, not just red flags
Each card has two sides: the problem, with what it costs and links to the evidence, and the recommendation, with two to four steps that go straight into the action plan.
No change without a decision
Change requests are approved only through a signed decision. A nightly scan finds milestone, budget and scope moves that nobody decided, and asks for the decision.
The board pack, already written
The storyline deck builds the executive pack from the registers: action titles, exhibits and a "so what" on every slide, in your brand.
One record, read six ways
Every screen below is Steerline running on its example programs.
Opens on what needs you, across every program
Sponsors, PMO leads, workstream leads and finance each see a Today page built for their role. A sponsor sees change requests for the board, escalations and late Tier 1 milestones from every program they can open.
- "Waiting for you" lists only what is yours, never borrowed actions
- A week strip shows where the reporting cycle stands
- Download this month's briefing in one click
The status, the trend and the cause in one line
A program's overview reads like the update a good PMO lead would write: status, trend and confidence, why, and which workstream reports are still missing, with a reminder button beside each.
- Workstream status for the last three weeks, with cause, fix and owner
- Spend against the original plan, month by month
- Decisions for the sponsor and this week's actions, side by side
Commit to the date you will actually make
Every milestone shows its due date, the likely range from simulated runs, and the safe date to commit to: the one it makes four times in five. When the gap is real, Steerline recommends a re-baseline and drafts the change request.
- Likely range from half to nine in ten runs
- The original baseline kept beside the forecast
- Critical path and cross-program dependencies
Signed, chained and impossible to fudge
Approvals show what waits for whom. Each decision records who decided, why, the options, the money, conditions and evidence, and carries an audit badge the server checks.
- Nobody approves their own request; Tier 1 needs two people
- A request is frozen while a signature is pending
- Conditions tracked to closure, and able to hold a gate
From approved hours to the invoice
For delivery and client work: invoices drafted from approved time and expenses at each contract’s bill rates, revenue and work in progress month by month, and a month-end close that locks the figures. Business plan and up, for finance and administrators.
- Fixed price, time and materials with a cap, milestone billing and retainers
- Bill rate cards by role or person, valid by date
- Phase budgets with a 12-month revenue and margin forecast
From register to board pack in minutes
Choose the report (status pack, monthly briefing or quarterly review) and the scope. Steerline drafts the storyline and you download it as PowerPoint, PDF, Word or Excel, or present it in the app.
- An executive summary of situation, complication and resolution
- Remediation reports written for each reader, from the sponsor to the account team
- Your logo, colors, fonts and PowerPoint template
Agents that propose, people who decide
Steerline's agents chase reports, draft status and flag risks, then wait in a queue for a person to approve, edit or dismiss each proposal. Assign an action to “Steerline AI” and it does the work like a teammate. Use Steerline AI, or your own model and key, which is never metered.
- Grouped by risk, with undo
- Cost per program, with a monthly credit budget for each agent
- Names, emails and card numbers masked before any model sees them
Gates that mean something
Independent health checks and funding gates, inside the same record the program runs on. Available on Business, Services and Enterprise.
Assess
One question at a time, starting from suggested scores. Evidence from program records is kept apart from judgment.
Review
An independent reviewer, who cannot be the assessor, approves the check or sends it back. Re-checks ask only what moved.
Decide the gate
Delivery and assurance criteria, conditions, and funding held until both approvers sign. A one-page board report follows sign-off.
Every role sees its own Steerline
What each person can do is fixed by their role and duties, and the server enforces it. What they see first depends on what is happening in the program this week.
Decide what waits for you
Sign Tier 1 changes, gates and business case versions from one list.
Run the rhythm
Chase list, stand-up, board pack, health checks and gates.
Keep registers honest
RAID, change requests, imports and the AI agents' proposals.
Report in minutes
The weekly status drafted from the registers, also from Teams or Slack.
Own the money
Budgets, actuals, timesheet approval, invoices from the work and the month-end close.
Assure independently
Score health checks and sign them off, with separation of duties.
Read the client plainly
For delivery firms: internal notes and remediation reports clients never see.
Read and comment
Vendors and partners see only the registers shared with them, until a date.
An assistant that shows its working
Ask about your programs in plain words: in the app, on your phone, or in Microsoft Teams and Slack. Ask PMO answers as you, with only what you are allowed to see, and checks every figure before you rely on it.
Sees everything you can
Registers, your focus list, goals and key results, the schedule and critical path, project accounting, and the program’s documents, cited to the page.
Speaks first
“Steerline noticed” on Today and the dashboard, and a weekly briefing by email and chat, each with the reason.
Proves itself
Administrators see how many figures were traced and an evaluation score for each role, so quality is measured, not assumed.
Bring your plan in. Keep your tools.
A new organization starts by bringing in its RAID log or plan, with columns matched for you to confirm. The switching kit does a dry run first, and any move can be undone for seven days.

Built to be checked
The records in Steerline end up in board papers and audit files, so every control is enforced by the server and covered by tests.
Row-level security
Forced on every client table. The app refuses to start under a role that could bypass it.
Tamper-evident trail
A SHA-256 hash chain per client, signed hourly, with a live feed to Splunk or any SIEM.
Strong by default
OIDC and SAML single sign-on, SCIM, passkeys and security keys, and PIV/CAC smart cards.
Your own encryption key
A Cloud KMS key you control wraps your data key. Disable it and the organization locks within five minutes.
Least privilege
Six administrator duties, time-limited admin access with a reason, and expiring API keys.
Your choice of region
Steerline runs on Google Cloud with a PostgreSQL database. Enterprise plans choose the data region their records are held in.
What people ask before they start
How does the free trial work?
You get 30 days of Business with everything on. Choose the plan you expect to keep when you sign up; you can change it any time. After the trial, choose Team or Business to keep editing. If you don't, your workspace becomes read-only and your data is kept.
Who counts as an editor?
Anyone who can change records: contributors, finance and administrators. Viewers, sponsors and guests are free on every plan, so you can give the whole board access without buying seats.
Can we bring our existing plan?
Yes. Getting started brings in your RAID log or plan first, and the switching kit moves programs in from Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Planview exports, Jira, Excel or CSV. It does a dry run first, and a move can be undone for seven days.
Does the AI change our records on its own?
No. AI agents propose; a person approves, edits or dismisses each proposal, and the record shows who confirmed it. Personal data is masked before any model sees it.
Can we trust what Ask PMO tells us?
Every record ID and figure in an answer is checked against what Ask PMO looked up, and the answer says if any could not be traced. Figures come from the same rules as the pages, never from the model, and every question and answer is in the audit log.
Can Steerline invoice our clients?
Yes, on Business and up. Project accounting drafts invoices from approved time and expenses at each contract’s bill rates, tracks revenue, work in progress and deferred revenue, and closes each month. Invoices can go on to QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite.
Can we use our own AI model?
Yes. Every plan includes Steerline AI, metered in monthly credits per editor. On Business, Services and Enterprise you can connect your own model and key instead, which is never metered.
Where is our data held?
Steerline runs on Google Cloud with a PostgreSQL database, and can also run on other major clouds. Enterprise plans can choose a data region and bring their own encryption key.
We run programs for clients. Is there a plan for us?
Yes. The Services plan gives a delivery firm a partner workspace across its client organizations, an account-team view clients never see, and remediation reports written for each reader, and project accounting to bill the work.
