FLIGHTMAP review
A broad portfolio modeling suite for complex R&D and innovation planning.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FLIGHTMAP is a web-based strategic portfolio management product from Bicore for organizations managing innovation and R&D portfolios. It is positioned for mid-market and enterprise teams in areas such as high-tech, automotive, life sciences, and process industries. The product brings together portfolio composition, comparison, optimization, strategic scoring, project roadmaps, dependency management, resource planning, financial analysis, progress monitoring, workflow controls, and executive reporting. Portfolio analysts can use it to compare investments, assess demand and supply, model costs and revenues, and examine alternative scenarios.
Its ecosystem fit centers on existing Microsoft and data-reporting workflows. FLIGHTMAP supports Microsoft Excel uploads, API-based data collection, API connections, Power BI, PowerPoint, Word, PDF, and SharePoint. Interactive dashboards and automated reporting can turn portfolio information into documents and presentations for executive audiences. Workflow automation, roles, authorization, alerts, and data-quality controls add governance around how portfolio information is collected, reviewed, and reported. These capabilities make the product relevant where portfolio decisions depend on information assembled across multiple teams and systems.
The main distinction is breadth: FLIGHTMAP covers prioritization, intake, scenario planning, capacity planning, budget tracking, executive reporting, and cross-project dependencies alongside roadmapping. Its pricing model is contact sales, and the deployment model is cloud. That combination suits organizations looking for a configurable portfolio environment rather than a lightweight task-management tool. Teams that need financial and scenario modeling across complex R&D portfolios should consider FLIGHTMAP; teams seeking a narrower project tracker or a self-serve purchasing path may be better served by an alternative.

- Where it doesn't
