MMF Planner is a project planning tool for projects using the Incremental Funding Method (IFM).

IFM integrates traditional software engineering activities with financially informed project management strategies. IFM heuristics provide clarity into important metrics such as project level Net Present Value (NPV), Return On Investment (ROI), initial start-up investment costs, and time needed for a project to reach self-funding and break-even.

An IFM project consists of Minimal Marketable Features (MMFs). A MMF has quantifiable value to the customer. Each MMF has economical figures according to the estimated investment and earnings. A MMF can also have a precursor which is a feature that has to be implemented before the actual MMF.
