Alternatives to Pipefy for Project Operations (PMO) in 2026
Pipefy is excellent for managing activity flow (Kanban). But if your PMO needs schedule views (Gantt), team capacity management, and financial project control, tools like Asana, Wrike, Smartsheet, and Jestor are more comprehensive alternatives.
Kanban vs. Schedule
Processes are continuous (never ending), projects have a start, middle, and end. Kanban is great for processes, but for complex projects, you need to visualize dependencies ("task B only starts when A finishes") and resource allocation over time.
What Project Operations is looking for
- Gantt Chart: Visualizing the schedule and deadlines on a timeline.
- Resource Management: Knowing who is overloaded before assigning a task.
- Time Tracking (Timesheet): Controlling the real cost of the project.
- Portfolio View: Tracking the status of all projects on a single dashboard.
