ISO 27001
Next quarter
your first capacity trade-off, not in 18 months.
Keep your commitments.
And deliver more projects, on the same capacity.
You are no longer the CIO who absorbs demand and takes the blame for delays. You are the one who keeps their commitments, because they knew how to say no at the right time. AirSaas makes visible what your teams can genuinely deliver: filter demand upstream, decide against real capacity, prove the benefits downstream.

Painless setup
you send us your files, we deliver the portfolio.
Free exit at 3 months
if the ritual does not take, you walk away at no cost.
A third more projects delivered
with informed trade-offs.
15% of capacity recovered
your teams will thank you.
80% fewer meetings
teams aligned asynchronously.
Capacity blindness caps what you could deliver.
Your teams are at 130% on paper. Everything slips, so no project is at fault, and nobody can say no with facts. Here is what that costs you, quarter after quarter.
The backlog that piles up
Every quarter, whatever was not delivered rolls into the next one, without anyone deciding it. The portfolio carries an invisible debt that keeps growing, and your commitments lose all credibility.
The delivery rate nobody measures
How much of what was promised was actually delivered this quarter, by team? Without that number, you cannot know where things jam, nor defend your teams against business units that call them slow.
IT taking the blame as the bottleneck
With no visible capacity, you absorb everything and you are held responsible for the delays. You carry alone a trade-off that should be collective.
The real cost is not the waste. It is everything your teams do not deliver, for want of a trade-off.
With capacity made visible, the requester makes the trade-off.
When real capacity is on the screen, saying yes to a project means showing what it displaces.
The nature of the conversation changes: it is no longer IT refusing, it is the portfolio forcing a choice. And in the ExCom, you no longer come to defend a budget: you present the return on a portfolio of investments.
The wall
Real capacity, by team and by quarter. Visible to everyone.
Net capacity: what each team can genuinely produce (in FTEs or in days), not the theoretical headcount. Run, support and absences deducted.
The workload heatmap: overload in red, team by team, quarter by quarter. The 130% shows up before it blows out your timelines.
Drag-and-drop assignment: move a project and capacity recalculates live. Saying yes means seeing what it displaces, then and there.
Saturation alerts: thresholds configurable per team. No request gets in without the wall being visible.
Simulate
Compare the possible futures before you commit.
Scenarios side by side: as many versions of the portfolio as you need, compared on capacity, cost, milestones and benefits.
The steering panel: push back, freeze, staff up, stop — without leaving the view. Every move recalculates everything, instantly.
AI that prepares the ground: AI Estimate sets the workload of a new request in minutes; scenario generation proposes trade-off options within your constraints; AI Milestone lays out the milestones of the projects you keep. A trade-off scenario in 10 minutes instead of 3 weeks.
Sharing in session: the chosen scenario is presented in committee and becomes the basis for the trade-off. No more debating the numbers, a debate about the choices.
Decide
The decisions are made, recorded, committed.
The quarterly trade-off view: every project against its capacity, its progress and its benefits. The full Quarter Plan on one screen.
Decisions kept in history: continue, stop, postpone — dated and justified. Something is left of your committees.
The roadmap for the quarter: what is decided becomes a commitment everyone can see. IT promises what it can keep, and keeps it.
Cross-quarter follow-through: at the next Quarter Plan, every decision is reopened against reality. The cadence corrects everything.
Integrate
Your teams keep their tools. Data goes up, decisions come down.
The connectors: Jira, Asana, Monday, Teams. Progress syncs, nobody re-enters anything.
Governance above: AirSaas does not replace team tools, it consolidates at decision level. A few minutes a week per project manager for the weather, the attention points and the milestones.
The MCP server: your portfolio queryable from Claude or ChatGPT, read-only and secure. Data hosted in Europe, never used for training.

The Quarter Plan indicators
The numbers that tell you whether you keep your commitments.
AirSaas continuously tracks the indicators committees actually look at, and names the problem when they slip.
The backlog from the previous quarter: what was committed and not delivered, project by project. The problem made visible: your delivery debt stops sliding silently from one quarter to the next.
The delivery rate by team: the share of what was promised that was actually delivered, team by team, and not only in IT. You defend your teams with a number, or you finally see where to reinforce.
The drift rate against the original framing: you have to adapt to change, but you cannot execute well if the plan changes constantly. Measuring “changes along the way” to anticipate better from quarter to quarter.
The heart of it
Let the scenarios decide. Not your nerves.
The real change for a CIO is not displaying a capacity figure, it is being able to present several scenarios to the ExCom.
Several futures, compared: you arrange the projects, include, exclude, push back, and you see the impact on each team. You walk into the committee with options, not with a list of grievances.
The ExCom decides live: faced with costed scenarios, the decision-makers decide in the room: we do this, not that, we push this back. IT stops carrying the impossible alone.
Bottleneck teams made visible: when one team is the blocker, the scenario shows it. That is your costed argument for going after budget or reinforcement, instead of absorbing it.
AI that prepares the ground
Three assistants that do the bulk of the assessment work.
AI Project Brief: the agent asks the requester the right questions, spoken or written, and turns a vague need into a structured framing sheet.
AI Milestone: it suggests the teams that should take part in the project and helps break it into coherent milestones.
AI Estimate: it puts a first workload estimate on the milestones. And the more you use it, the more accurate it gets: after one quarter, 80% of milestones are accurate to within five days.
It does not replace your managers' plans. It focuses the organization.
Let us be clear about what the Quarter Plan does, and what it does not. It does not replace the detailed plan your managers keep over three or four weeks: that level of detail stays with them. What it brings is to focus the whole organization on a single question: what can we genuinely do within a quarter?
And that is where it helps budget building enormously. A plan holding across the year does not mean it actually holds: quarter by quarter, with holidays, peaks and dependencies, the reality is quite different. Quarterly capacity reveals those bottlenecks before they derail the budget. A team is a simple and key notion here: a group with homogeneous skills, that reports its capacity and gets deliverables assigned to it.
Getting set upSee how AirSaas is rolled out
In six weeks, it is live. In three months, it is embedded.
Six weeks to launch: framing workshop, configuration, light onboarding for the project managers, and a first co-facilitated review: your first Quarter Plan happens within the quarter.
Three cycles to autonomy: we co-facilitate until your teams run the ritual on their own. Go/NoGo clause at three months: if it does not take, you walk away at no cost.
AI alongside you: Brief, Estimate and Milestone save you time from the very first cycle, and estimation gets more reliable quarter after quarter.
