Predictive Margin Protection
CDO by ExpandUps is a phase-level cost forecasting platform built for IT delivery and software houses.
Catch margin-eroding phases while there is still time to act — before month-end financial reconciliations show the damage.
CDO doesn't replace Jira or Azure DevOps — it sits on top of them, calculating the margin risk they were never built to see.
Core capabilities engineered for Delivery Directors & PMOs:
Phase-Level Visibility
Track planned vs. actual spend per phase. A profitable phase won't hide a failing one on an averaged company dashboard.
Early Warning Alerts
Get automated variance warnings when spent cost outpaces completed work percentage inside a specific phase.
Jira & Azure DevOps Sync
Seamlessly map tasks and projects from Jira or Azure DevOps on automated schedules without double data entry.
A project rarely goes over budget all at once
It happens slowly, phase by phase. Traditional project management software only tells you that you went over budget after the work is completed.
CDO calculates Forecast Variance by evaluating actual spend against completed work per phase, exposing budget drift while your engineering team still has time to adjust scope or renegotiate change requests.
Built to seamlessly plug into your existing workflow
No need to replace your team's daily management tools. CDO works alongside your existing setup to provide financial and delivery insights:
- Jira & Azure DevOps Integration: Keep developer logs synced with actual costs.
- AI-Assisted Activity Inputs: Quickly convert unstructured task logs into structured financial activities using built-in LLM processing.
- Smart Forecast Models: Automated calculations displaying projected end-of-project margin health.
ROI Calculator
See how much additional profit your company could generate with better margin control through CDO.
* Indicative estimate: Additional profit = Number of projects × Average project budget × Margin improvement (in percentage points). This represents the estimated effect of catching scope creep and budget deviations earlier — not a guaranteed outcome.
