BPM OS – Practitioner Tool stack
The tools built for how
BPM work actually runs
Six focused apps. No subscriptions. Your data on your machine. Built by a practitioner who needed them — and couldn’t find them anywhere else.
Coming soon: Pre-packaged editions for additional use cases. beyond the current “Learning” use case – and topic-specific apps like the “Successful Process Mining Projects” edition.

Why we built it
BUILT ON THREE PRINCIPLES
THE MARKET IGNORES.
Every other tool in this space wants a monthly fee, your data in their cloud, and a credit card
on file. We disagree with all three.
Local first
Your data lives on your machine. No cloud sync, no vendor lock-in, no “we had a data breach” email. When you close the app, the work is yours — fully, permanently.
One-time purchase
You buy it once and own it. No monthly subscription that gets cancelled when the budget changes. No price hike when you’ve built your workflow around it. Just software that works.
Purpose-built
Each app does one thing well — the thing a BPM practitioner actually needs. Not a generic project manager with a BPM skin. Not Notion with a template. Tools built for this specific work.
The six apps
BUILT ON THREE PRINCIPLES
THE MARKET IGNORES.
Six focused tools, connected by a shared design language. Use one standalone or run
the full workflow — from brainstorming a program to running it live.
GROUndwork
Brainstorm, sort, and plan
Capture every idea before imposing structure. Groundwork gives you a freeform brainstorm canvas, a drag-and-drop sort board, and a structured classify view — in that order, for a reason.
— Three modes: Brainstorm → Sort → Classify. Work through them in sequence.
— Pre-loaded templates: Training Development, Software Development, System Roll-Out, and more
— MoSCoW prioritization, effort scoring, and zone dependencies in Classify
— Wave planning — drag cards into release waves (v1, v2, v3) with dependency tracking
— Permalinks for every card — paste into Atlas, Playbook, or CourseFlow to connect your work

One time – or in full stack $299
ATLAS
Visual maps and structures
Build visual maps of any BPM or EA structure — process landscapes, capability maps, org charts, or knowledge hierarchies. Drag, link, annotate. Export when you need to.
— Freeform canvas with smart snap-to-grid and automatic layout options
— Node types for processes, capabilities, systems, roles, and custom objects
— Link nodes to Playbook pages and Groundwork cards — everything stays connected
— Templates: Process Landscape, ARIS hierarchy, Capability Map, Value Chain
— Export to SVG, PNG, or embed in Playbook
$99
One time – or in full stack $299
Outline
Courses, programs & documents
Structure any course, program, or document with a hierarchical outline editor. Add status, owners, and estimated durations to every node. Export as a formatted document when ready.
— Quick add / brainstorm mode for first draft
— Multi-level hierarchy with drag-and-drop reordering at any level
— Objective setting for each segment
— Linking to other BPM-OS apps

— Export to structured document (outline for PPT) or hand off directly to Playbook
$99
One time – or in full stack $299
Course Flow
Training program kanban & feedback triage
A kanban board built specifically for running training programs — not adapted from a generic project manager. Track modules, tasks, milestones, and feedback in one view.
— Kanban columns: Backlog → To Do → In Progress → Review → Done
– Categories for current, upcoming, and archived projects. Status reporting will only cover current projects
— Module and session cards linked back to Outline structure
— Milestone markers and adding of dependencies via links
— Templates: Compliance Training, Course Creation, Course Update/Refresh, Onboarding Program
$99
One time – or in full stack $299
Playbook
Your program’s knowledge base
Your program’s knowledge base — methodology documentation, org change management activities, governance rules, and institutional knowledge that stays when people leave.
— Structured wiki with sections, pages, and sub-pages — organized how program knowledge actually works
— Topic-specific templates: How-To Guide, Meeting Notes, Reference Page, your own templates
— Link pages to Atlas maps, Groundwork cards, and CourseFlow modules
— Tag and filter across the full knowledge base
— Export sections as formatted documents for governance handover
