You can't go wrong with Targetprocess!
We use Apptio Targetprocess for all of our agile teams as well as multiple teams who have seen the tool and have asked to track their work in it also. We use Apptio Targetprocess as our source of truth for all our IT work. All IT related initiatives or epics are kept and updated here for us to provide transparency to the IT leadership group about the current state, trials, and tribulations, etc. We have employees around the globe using the tool. Apptio Targetprocess helps provide transparency to the work around the globe and allows our global team members to work better together. Prior to implementing Apptio Targetprocess, we had worked in so many different places and applications. This tool has made a huge difference in allowing everyone to understand the work that is in progress and what still to be done; having one place to go to see everyone's work has made a big difference to our team members and stakeholders alike.
- Extremely flexible: We are able to setup work for different groups in ways that work best for them.
- Fantastic support group: They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoy working with them.
- Automation: Their automation capabilities have saved us a lot of time.
- Customizing screens: We can go into code for the different entities, move fields around or hide them, add tabs or additional sections as needed to make for a streamlined user experience.
- Reporting: Their reporting is flexible and phenomenal. There are so many different ways to pull data and the interface is easy to use.
- Their user guide is well built and extremely helpful.
- Permissions could be easier to manage. They work well but can take time to modify if you need to change someone's role across many projects.

Great for mature companies with an agile background
Score 7 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Targetprocess is used for general project management and agile task management. The software support multiple agile methodologies to great extent and is primarily targeted at companies willing to follow the standard concepts closely. We use it to manage larger projects and follow them on various aspects: user stories, tasks, time tracking, issues...
- Lego-oriented - you build the tool the way you want it to work.
- Support all agile frameworks (Scrum, SaFe, etc.).
- Great customer support from the product team.
- Definitely not user-friendly, painful onboarding.
- Limited API capabilities with frustrating rules.
- Weak testing features (issues, test plans, etc.).

On Target!
We use TargetProcess across our entire organization. We currently use it for requirements and bug tracking but are starting to expand into marketing requirements and the help desk. We will soon be tying it into a CRM and will use it for our entire product life cycle. More than anything we were looking for a tool that does almost everything and this fits the bill.
- Basic flexibility out of the box is a big advantage for a small company without resources to customize, as is needed for some of the larger competitors.
- The support is second to none. They've even written custom TP queries to get me what I want.
- They have managed to cover all the basics of product development in one product, in particular, the inclusion of customer support (although limited) is a big selling point for a small company.
- I don't like the view concept versus just doing search queries to see what you want.
- The basic test process stuff is there, but they are missing things like re-use of steps and iteration tracking.
- The lack of adding and customizing entities is probably the biggest miss, but I understand this is in the works.

Experience of TargetProcess on a Number of Projects
TargetProcess is the tool we use to organize and track our work. We work in a highly Agile environment and TargetProcess supports our workflow very well. Particular strengths of TargetProcess are:
- that it is highly customizable so individuals can build views that give them the information that they want,
- the rapid development of new features by the team,
- the responsiveness of the support team.
However, the ability to customize views does come with a learning curve and it helps to have someone providing some standard views so that the team can always use these to have a shared understanding of the project's work.
- Level of customization of views.
- Well supported with new releases.
- Responsive support team.
- The customization of views can mean that different people are viewing data differently but setting up standard views helps.
