Tempo’s AI-native platform evolves Strategic Portfolio Management into Intelligent Portfolio Orchestration, aligning people, AI agents and investment around enterprise strategy.

Tempo Software today announced the general availability of Tempo Loop, the AI-native Intelligent Portfolio Orchestration platform that helps enterprises move from fragmented AI adoption to an Enterprise AI operating model for coordinating human and AI work. Loop gives leaders a continuously updated portfolio view of time, capacity, cost and execution across the systems their teams already use. Once a leader approves a recommendation, Loop applies the change directly into enterprise-grade work systems such as Jira, Azure DevOps with Linear, and others to follow.

AI agents have raised expectations of enterprise capabilities. Tempo’s 2026 State of AI in Portfolio Management report found that 91% of surveyed organizations are piloting or actively using AI in project delivery. Yet only 26% actively use it to prioritize or reprioritize work.

“Legacy Strategic Portfolio Management systems were designed for a world where strategy moved annually, plans moved quarterly, and work moved at human speed,” said Vic Chynoweth, CEO of Tempo. “Enterprises are now building at a speed that was not possible a couple of years ago, and that changes how work has to happen. Loop connects strategy to the work as it happens, so goals become delivered work with measurable results.”

“I can simply share a link during a steering committee meeting and management can immediately access the latest information. One of the biggest mindset shifts was moving away from screenshots and PDFs toward live data that is always current," said Gencho Srebrev, Team Lead for Strategic IT Projects and Process Advisory at Wienerberger AG.

As an ecosystem-agnostic platform, Loop uses AI to help coordinate human and AI work across the work-management systems teams already use. It joins Tempo’s portfolio of products used by 30,000+ customers, including over half of the Fortune 100. Organizations can start with those systems and connect other Tempo products as needed. This approach is designed to deliver value sooner, with benefits growing as adoption expands, without requiring a company-wide transformation upfront.

“Enterprises are adding AI because they want to take on more,” said Kevin Nanney, Chief Product Officer of Tempo. “But a coding agent in one team and a research assistant in another still need to contribute to the same strategy. Loop connects execution to strategic priorities and carries approved decisions into the systems teams already use.”

Loop connects portfolio costs and execution to strategic priorities through a continuous decision intelligence loop, giving leaders context to assess the return on investments in people and AI:

1. Make portfolio delivery visible. See project progress, delivery timelines and costs in one live view across connected systems.
2. Connect execution to strategy. Map human and AI work to the priorities it was funded to deliver. Assign costs and ROI to AI execution.
3. Detect drift and prescribe the fix. Continuously identify work moving away from strategy and recommend a specific correction.
4. Remember decisions. Capture what was decided, why and what happened next, building organizational memory beyond a static dashboard.
5. Refine recommendations. Portfolio context and decision history sharpen recommendations. That intelligence belongs to the customer alone and compounds as Loop runs.
6. Act on human approval. Write approved changes back to source systems, then restart the loop with the results.

“Loop doesn't manage human work and AI work as two separate tracks,” said Mashhood Ahmed, Principal Consultant, M1 Consultants Inc. “It's built to oversee both within one system, with no bolt-on layer depending on who or what is doing the task.”
