For defence programme managers
Prime contractor. Sub-tier suppliers.
Milestone coordination that can’t slip.
In Parallel captures every programme decision — owner, deadline, context — across prime and sub-tier teams and turns them into a living milestone plan that updates itself. Start free.
The coordination tax
15 contractors. 200 milestones.
How many commitments can you track?
Defence programmes coordinate across primes, sub-tier suppliers, and programme offices. Decisions scatter across IPTs, contractor reviews, and email chains.
70%
of defence programme delays originate in sub-tier supplier coordination failures.
The programme has outgrown spreadsheets and status slides but hasn’t built the operational infrastructure to replace them.
GAO Defence Acquisition Assessment 2024
3 days per month
The average programme manager spends assembling status reports from contractor updates, IPT minutes, and milestone trackers that are already out of date.
Invisible commitment drift
A sub-tier supplier quietly re-sequences a deliverable. The prime doesn’t know until the milestone review. Nobody flagged it because nobody saw it.
8 systems, zero visibility
P6 for scheduling, Jira for engineering, SharePoint for documents, email for decisions. None of them show the programme manager what was decided across all contractors this week.
How In Parallel helps
From 15 contractor updates to one shared reality.
01
Programme meeting decision capture
In Parallel joins your IPTs, programme reviews, and contractor stand-ups — captures every decision, action owner, and deadline across prime and sub-tier teams. No manual minutes. No chasing.
02
Living milestone tracker
Your programme plan updates itself from meeting signals. When a sub-tier supplier flags a delay in their weekly, it surfaces in the master schedule immediately — not three weeks later at a programme review.
03
Contractor commitment drift detection
Know when a supplier diverges from what was agreed before it threatens a milestone. In Parallel surfaces the gap between committed deliverables and actual progress automatically.
04
Programme office reporting
Stop spending days assembling programme status from 12 different contractors. Execution health data is always current because it comes from the meetings where decisions actually happen.
Trusted by programme teams
A Tier 1 defence programme cut status reporting from 3 days to 30 minutes.
“We went from chasing 12 sub-tier suppliers for status updates to having a living programme view. Not because we meet more — because every decision is already captured.”

Side by side
What changes when programme decisions stop disappearing.
Without In Parallel
- Monday mornings reconstructing last week’s IPT decisions

- Milestone slips discovered after they cascade
- Status decks assembled from a dozen sub-tier updates
- Commitment drift invisible until the next gate review

- Programme status always current — built from live meeting data
- Milestone risk flagged before it cascades to dependent workstreams
- Programme office reports assembled in 30 minutes, not 3 days
- Drift detected before it threatens a contract milestone
