The Game Changer

Automated EVM Budget Management & Project Metrics

Your teams estimate in points, complete tickets, and log work hours. These three actions are all that's needed to calculate an Earned Value budget. Manifst does the math.

CPI
1.37
Cost Performance, Favorable
SPI

EAC Estimate

Declared Budget €350,000

Required Efficiency
From team estimation to steering committee metrics Estimated story points and closed tickets produce earned value, logged time produces actual cost, and their ratio yields CPI, SPI, and estimated completion cost. What the team does Estimate in points Planning Poker Complete tickets Kanban & Sprints Log work hours Per ticket What Manifst calculates Earned Value (EV) delivered points ÷ total points × declared budget Actual Cost (AC) logged hours × daily member rate What committees see CPI (Cost Performance Index) 1.37 SPI (Schedule Performance Index) 0.66 Estimated Completion (EAC) €254,702 Only manual input added: project budget, declared once by the project lead.
Zero extra data entry for the dev team. Metrics are a direct byproduct of the sprint.

Here, Earned Value is calculated in story points. A pure accounting tool cannot do this. A pure agile tool doesn't think to do it.

Financial Impact

Real-Time Project Actual Cost Tracking

Time logged on tickets converts into actual cost using each member's daily rate. The gap with delivered value computes performance indices and completion forecast.

Zero extra screens for developers. The only step added is setting the project budget once.

Native Feature

Native Planning Poker & Team Story Point Estimation

In Jira, planning poker requires a paid Marketplace app. Here it's a native screen: participants, hidden-then-revealed votes, and points automatically saved to backlog items.

Everyone sees their relevant view: Scrum Master tracks voting progress, developers choose cards. The same live session, tailored to each role.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Manifst primarily an agile tool or a project management tool?

An agile tool first. Backlog, sprints, kanban boards, and retrospectives form the core product. The financial and portfolio layers are calculated directly from sprint data.

Do we have to use the financial tracking features?

No. Sections can be hidden by role and project. A pure Scrum team can ignore budget, risks, and RACI matrices.

Does Manifst replace Jira?

For most teams, yes. Unless you rely on highly custom workflows and dozens of Marketplace apps, Manifst provides all core agile features natively. Read full comparison.

Where is our data hosted?

All data is hosted and stored in France, fully GDPR compliant.

Is AI included?

The eight backlog assistants and risk suggestions consume AI credits, included in paid plans. The free plan gives access to all core agile features without generative assistance.

Start with a single sprint. The rest follows naturally.

Governance metrics appear automatically as soon as your first sprint closes.
