    SPM the way YOU want to do SPM

    5.0
    Jun 18, 2026
    We have been using Shibumi for several years now as our Strategic Portfolio Management tool. The great thing about Shibumi's SPM capabilities is that you can do SPM the way YOU want to do SPM. If your organization is maturing into the SPM mindset, it is a big culture change and you can phase in processes and functionality at the speed that your organization can absorb it. If you are relatively mature in your SPM needs and framework, Shibumi can be configured to support those ways of working. We have configured a priority scoring approach within the tool that improves upon the spreadsheet approach we had been using previously. We used familiar concepts, terminology and visualizations for the organization. We did the same with a risk assessment framework. With Shibumi, we are now in a position that we can put Strategic Portfolio Management "at the center" of our business operations as we continue to progress in PMI's Portfolio Management Maturity Model.

Shibumi Likes & Dislikes

Like

Flexibility and Configurability. We have been able to do everything that we need with 100% configuration. It's a bit tricky to learn, but we have not had to place anyone with a software development background on out team. While that would help, it is not necessary. Post implementation, Shibumi continues to provide us with expertise to help tackle new ideas and enhancements that would likely take a small team of developers to support using other tools. I also like that Shibumi sticks to their expertise, transformation and SPM.

Expressions for configuring notifications and other features can be complicated. Notifications don't always work as expected, and are difficult to test/troubleshoot. User experience suffers as a result.
