Project Intelligence for Excel — Free Community Edition
Bring structured project controls into the Excel workflows your team already uses.
Project Intelligence for Excel Free Community Edition is designed around the real operational work visible in the add-in itself: forecast refresh, project reporting, look-ahead planning, setup and repair, tutorial guidance, and workbook protection — all delivered through a single task pane experience. It is open for learning, education, demonstrations, evaluation, and self-guided non-commercial use without Pi Labs registration at launch.
Built around the actual PI workflow
The public site mirrors the same structure that reviewers and customers see in the task pane. Nothing here is generic marketing filler — it maps directly to the working features already exposed in the add-in.

A disciplined task pane for practical project controls
PI is intended for project teams who already work in live Excel workbooks and want a more structured operating layer around forecasting, setup, and reporting. The goal is not to replace Excel — it is to make complex workbook workflows more repeatable, more guided, and easier to support.
Excel-native workflow
Structured execution
Guided setup
Support-ready deployment
Open, low-friction evaluation
The Free Community Edition is intended for learning, education, demonstrations, evaluation, self-guided non-commercial use, self-guided workbook setup, self-guided template experimentation, university/student use, graduate/trainee use, and sample workbooks or pilots where PI is not used as a commercial production deployment.
Commercial production use, live project use by a company, company rollout, production deployment, implementation support, and priority support will require a paid commercial-use licence, approved pilot, or separate written agreement with Pi Labs.
How teams use PI
The toolset is easiest to understand as a repeatable operating sequence rather than a loose collection of buttons.
01
Prepare the workbook
Use setup, repair, and definition updates to align the workbook structure before operational runs.
02
Run the project controls workflow
Refresh forecasts, produce reporting outputs, and build look-ahead or cost code updates from the same pane.
03
Support, guide, and protect
The How to Start guide, in-product help links, and workbook protection tools help keep the operating model understandable and controlled.
Public resources
These pages are intended to support deployment diligence, AppSource review, and customer confidence.
