Stop rebuilding approved requests as projects by hand.

A request gets approved, and then somebody opens a blank project and retypes the scope, budget, dates, and stakeholders that were already sitting in the form. Project Insight standardizes intake, routes approvals automatically, and turns the approved request into a live project with its data already in place.
NO DUPLICATE ENTRY

The approved request becomes the project.

In many work management tools, approval updates an intake item or triggers an automation. Turning that request into a complete delivery plan—and carrying forward its scope, budget, dates, and stakeholders—still takes extra setup or rebuilding.

  • Convert an approved request into an active project in one step.
  • Carry request field data straight into the project it becomes.
  • Generate the WBS or project plan from what intake already captured.
  • Start delivery the day approval lands, not the following week.

Request scoring and prioritization reporting
DECIDE WITH EVIDENCE

Know which requests are actually worth doing.

When incoming work lives in inboxes and spreadsheets, priority goes to whoever asked loudest. Nobody can see total demand, what it would cost, or what the team has capacity to absorb.

  • Score, rank, and budget requests before anything gets approved.
  • Report across every initiative in the pipeline, not one at a time.
  • Weigh new demand against current capacity and portfolio priorities.
  • Give leadership a defensible basis for what moves forward.
END THE INBOX QUEUE

Requests stop stalling in someone's inbox.

Ideas arrive by email, chat, and hallway conversation, each missing something different. Then the request waits, because no one is certain whose approval it needs next.

  • Standardize intake with forms tailored by request type or business unit.
  • Route each request to the right approvers automatically.
  • Notify stakeholders at every stage so nothing sits unnoticed.
  • Attach documents and stakeholder input to the request record.
  • Let clients submit and follow their own requests without a paid license.

DIFFERENTIATORS

What sets Project Insight's project requests apart?

Most tools can collect requests through forms, route approvals, and send notifications. Project Insight brings the entire process together: score and budget requests before approval, then turn an approved request into a live project with its data and plan already in place.

  • Score, rank, and budget requests before deciding which work to approve.
  • Route requests to the right approvers based on request type or business unit.
  • Carry request fields and the planned work directly into the new project.
  • Include approved work in project and portfolio reporting without rebuilding it.
