What is ProjectManager?

ProjectManager ships press releases instead of changelogs — last real news is the May 2024 Acumatica deal.

Visible activity is dominated by integration announcements (Jira, Power BI, Acumatica) and a redesigned public API in late 2023, then a long quiet stretch through 2024 and 2025. Each release also appears twice in the feed — once as a press-release excerpt, once as the WordPress image-markup version — so nominal cadence is roughly half what it looks like. The most recent actual product-shaped news is the Acumatica integration from a year ago.

What is Tability?

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

ProjectManager vs Tability: editorial side-by-side

ProjectManager logo0.0

ProjectManager ships press releases instead of changelogs — last real news is the May 2024 Acumatica deal.

◆ Current state

Visible activity is dominated by integration announcements (Jira, Power BI, Acumatica) and a redesigned public API in late 2023, then a long quiet stretch through 2024 and 2025. Each release also appears twice in the feed — once as a press-release excerpt, once as the WordPress image-markup version — so nominal cadence is roughly half what it looks like. The most recent actual product-shaped news is the Acumatica integration from a year ago.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is 'land a big-name integration, market it as a release' — the standard mid-market PM-tool playbook against Asana, Smartsheet, Monday and Wrike. With no shipping signal in the past year, the product reads as in maintenance while marketing keeps the funnel warm with educational SEO content.

◆ Prediction

Most likely next observable event is another ERP, BI, or developer-tool integration announcement. If the crawler can be repointed at a real release-notes page (or a status feed), the picture would change; today the feed is press releases and blog posts.

T7.5

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
