NTT TechnoCross began offering PromanAIde on October 8, 2026, a tool for managing and visualizing system development projects. It uses AI to analyze progress reports, meeting minutes and other documents, then scores and displays signs of delays or declining quality. The SaaS service lets users upload documents for evaluation and costs from ¥150,000 per month, before tax.

The service targets waterfall software development projects. It reads progress reports, issue logs, work breakdown structures, test plans, bug lists and meeting minutes, and assesses five areas: progress, quality, risk, cost and staffing, and communication. While standard progress tracking tools mainly detect delays, PromanAIde also checks whether teams have identified the considerations and tasks required at each phase and produced the corresponding deliverables.

In a demonstration, the tool flagged that a project had not identified non-functional requirements and related work during requirements definition. Its quality score does not predict the finished software’s quality; it checks whether quality management is functioning. The service uses more than 100 evaluation criteria, combining experienced project managers’ know-how with criteria based on PMBOK, a guide that organizes project management knowledge. Each criterion is weighted, the five area scores are converted to a 100-point scale, and an overall score is calculated. If documents do not provide enough information to assess an item, it is marked “cannot be determined from submitted documents.” Integration with an attendance management system would also allow analysis of uneven workloads among staff and rising overtime.

The dashboard plots each project on a matrix with evaluation score on the vertical axis and project cost on the horizontal axis. It flags low-scoring, high-cost projects as requiring prompt attention and shows scores and concerns for each of the five areas. Concerns appear in red, while arrows indicate changes from the previous evaluation to show whether conditions have worsened or improved.

NTT TechnoCross estimates that when five software development projects, each with five people and lasting about three months, run in parallel, PromanAIde could reduce the PMO’s weekly status-checking time from 25 hours to 10 hours, cutting the workload by about 60%. Customers can adjust evaluation criteria to match their development rules. The service runs in customer-specific tenant environments on a public cloud, and users upload documents for each evaluation; the documents are deleted after evaluation is complete. The company plans to add a feature that lets AI access document storage directly and evaluate projects as files are updated.
