Dotwork vs Broadcom
Three separately licensed products: Clarity for investment and project portfolios, Rally for enterprise agile delivery and CloudHealth for cloud cost.
Broadcom provides specialized products for portfolio control, agile delivery and cloud optimization. Dotwork connects the data from that work to labor cost, capability and consumer on one enterprise model.

The short version
What each is built for.
Broadcom
Broadcom offers three distinct products in this space, priced and licensed separately. Clarity manages investment and project portfolios, Rally runs enterprise agile delivery, and CloudHealth by Broadcom handles multi-cloud cost reporting and optimization.
- Running a PMO with scheduling, staffing, financials and earned value in Clarity
- Running agile delivery at scale with portfolio kanban, WIP limits and PI planning in Rally
- Optimizing multi-cloud cost with rightsizing, commitments and policies in CloudHealth
- Supporting FinOps service providers with partner billing
Dotwork
Dotwork is an AI-native enterprise operating platform built on the Enterprise Operating Model: one live, graph-based model that connects strategy, capital, work, technology and AI across the enterprise. Alongside Clarity, Rally or CloudHealth, Dotwork connects delivery, portfolio and cloud cost data to labor cost, capabilities and the business consumers of that cost.
- Connecting delivery and portfolio records to labor cost and capability
- Comparing delivery effort with booked labor without overwriting either
- Following spend from the cost model to the business units that consume it
- Holding portfolio, labor and cloud cost on one graph
The core difference
How Dotwork and Broadcom approach the problem.
Broadcom covers portfolio control, agile delivery and cloud cost with three specialized products. Dotwork holds portfolio, labor and cost on one model, so delivery data connects to capability and consumer.
Context
Broadcom holds context in each product: investments in Clarity, work in Rally and cloud cost in CloudHealth, joined through configured sync jobs. Dotwork holds portfolio, labor and cost records on one graph.
Decisions
Broadcom supports execution decisions inside each domain, from staffing a project to rightsizing a cloud resource. Dotwork supports decisions that cross them, such as whether funded delivery is reaching the capabilities and consumers it was meant to serve.
Time
Clarity and Rally track work through baselines, flow states and program increments. Dotwork keeps plans, decisions and record history across planning cycles, with delivery effort and booked labor kept side by side.
Change
Broadcom evolves each product on its own roadmap. Dotwork starts from a reference Enterprise Operating Model and shapes it to the customer, with Broadcom data brought in through integration work scoped for each customer.
Architecture and data model
Side by side.
Broadcom's strength is depth in each product: Clarity for PMO control, Rally for agile flow and CloudHealth for cloud optimization. Dotwork's design is a single model where those same subjects are linked records. Delivery effort, booked labor and cloud cost are loaded from the model's allocation runs and shown against capabilities and consumers. Bringing Broadcom data into Dotwork is integration work scoped for each customer.
| Dimension | Broadcom | Dotwork |
|---|---|---|
| Product structure | Three separately licensed products | One platform on one model |
| Portfolio and project control | Clarity: scheduling, baselines, staffing, financials, risks and earned value | Strategy trace, investment scoring, capacity and plan against actual |
| Agile delivery | Rally: portfolio kanban, flow states, WIP limits, flow metrics and PI planning | PI planning, feature-to-epic trace, weighted prioritization and cross-team dependencies |
| Cloud cost | CloudHealth: ingestion, rightsizing, commitment recommendations, policies and automated actions | Cloud cost loaded into the enterprise cost model beside labor and vendor cost |
| Labor | Staffing and actuals in Clarity; capacity planning in Rally | Delivery effort and booked labor kept side by side without overwriting either |
| Cost to consumer | Financial plans and team financial management in Clarity; cloud cost allocation in CloudHealth | Allocations connected to offerings, business consumers and capabilities |
The role of AI
Where the AI gets its context.
Broadcom applies AI within each product's domain. Dotwork applies it across one connected model, which matters most when a question spans delivery, labor and cost.
Broadcom
Broadcom brings AI into each product. Clarity's solution materials describe AI guidance for portfolio work, and CloudHealth added Anthropic and OpenAI cost dimensions in 2026, so AI provider spend can be reported beside cloud cost.
Dotwork
Dotwork's assistant answers questions across the whole model, so one question can move from a program increment to the labor cost and capabilities behind it. Chat agents create and update Dotwork records with optional human review, and an MCP server exposes the model to outside AI tools.
A fair comparison
Where Broadcom is strong — and where Dotwork is different.
Where Broadcom is strong
- Clarity is deep on PMO controls: hierarchies, scheduling and baselines, staffing, actuals, risks, dependencies, intake, financials, roadmaps and earned value
- Rally supports agile at scale with configurable flow states, WIP limits, flow metrics and PI planning
- CloudHealth covers cloud cost ingestion, rightsizing, commitment recommendations, policies and automated actions
- CloudHealth reports AI provider spend, with Anthropic and OpenAI cost dimensions
- The CloudHealth Partner Platform supports billing for managed service providers
Where Dotwork is different
- Keeps delivery effort and booked labor side by side without overwriting either, so the variance between them stays visible
- Connects delivery records to cost, capability and the business consumer of that cost
- Holds portfolio, labor and cloud cost on one model instead of syncing between products
- Provides lean-portfolio views at parity, including PI planning, feature-to-epic trace and cross-team dependencies, with the connection to cost as the difference
Choosing
Which fits your situation.
Choose Broadcom when
- You need earned value and full PMO controls
- Your agile teams need portfolio flow, WIP limits and flow metrics today
- You need cloud optimization actions and anomaly detection
- You operate as a managed service provider and need partner billing
Broadcom fits organizations that want specialized products for PMO control and earned value, agile flow at scale, or cloud optimization and partner billing.
Choose Dotwork when
- You need delivery work traced to labor cost, capability and business consumer
- You want planned, time-written and ledger labor compared without one overwriting another
- Portfolio steering, not PMO execution, is your main need
- You want portfolio, labor and cloud cost on one model
Dotwork fits organizations that need delivery and portfolio data connected to labor cost, capability and consumer, and to strategy and architecture.
The bottom line
Choose Dotwork when you want to connect the enterprise across systems and silos — with a lower total cost of ownership.
One operating model across strategy, capital, work, technology and AI, instead of another tool to integrate, reconcile and maintain alongside Broadcom.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask.
Does Dotwork replace CloudHealth?+
No. CloudHealth goes deeper on optimization actions and anomaly detection. Dotwork places cloud cost alongside the rest of technology cost and connects it to the business.
Does Dotwork integrate with Rally or Clarity?+
There is no packaged Rally or Clarity connector today. Bringing their data into Dotwork is integration work scoped for each customer.
Can Dotwork and Broadcom products be used together?+
Yes. Rally and CloudHealth typically keep running agile delivery and cloud optimization, and their data becomes a source for Dotwork. Clarity can stay as the PMO system, or Dotwork can take on the portfolio role where steering rather than PMO execution is the need.
