Programs
Last updated: April 25, 2026
Introduction
In biotech and pharma, scientific work is rarely done in isolation: every experiment, analysis, and finding exists in the context of a program it's meant to inform. In practice, that connection can lost when data lives in disconnected tools, analyses pile up in shared drives, and by the time results reach a decision-maker, the thread back to the original scientific question has frayed. In Pluto, Programs are specifically designed to close that gap. By linking every dataset, analysis, and visualization directly to a program and its current stage, Pluto gives scientific leaders a continuous, traceable view of what work is happening, what questions it's answering, and what program-level decisions it's moving forward.

Creating a Program
Navigate to the Programs overview page shown above and select + New program in the upper right corner or under any program stage. Give your program an informative name (typically, the way it's most commonly referred to internally) and select from one of the available program types created by your company admins.
