Great project management tool - One point of truth!
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review

We currently use Bubble in NPD (New Product Development) to manage all new projects in development. It is used as a project management tool for the Innovation project managers and also as the "one point of truth" for all cross-functional teams involved in the project. Under each project/SKU profile, cross-functional teams are able to see the project overview, their tasks, what stage the project is in, meeting notes, basic timelines and who is involved.
- Great at being able to manipulate projects and filter certain projects into a report. This is great for when we have different meetings for different channels e.g. food service vs speciality.
- Easy to use - our cross-functional teams use this and they are able to find what they need without a lot of training.
- The development team are understanding of our needs and happy to adapt the program for us.
- Parent-child functionality. However we are currently working with Bubble to develop this and find a solution to our needs.
- Limited timeline capability.
- Sometimes the speed is slow - however I think this is related to our internet connection.
- With financials being included in each SKU, it has lead us to be more finance focused and aware of what projects are more profitable than others.
- It has given us a better oversight of what everyone is working on and the SKUs in our portfolio - allowed us to allocate resources more efficiently.

Bubble Innovator was implemented to provide a single source of truth that would support fact-based decision-making, consistency of project delivery and would be accessible to all who needed it. Now used across 4 departments within our business we use Bubble Innovator to provide a better understanding of potential projects and help strike a clearer balance between long and short-term innovation opportunities, enabling team members to work on more projects with greater efficiency, and at the same time, provide better visibility of the measurable benefits being delivered.
- Simplistic, smart view of entire portfolio, with easy filtering for quick searches
- Readily accessible one-page summaries for projects, detailing specific data relevant to our needs
- Ability to rapidly run a variety of specific reports
- Ability to export graphs / cut & paste graphs to presentations
- Agile-stage-gate
- Ability to run graphical reports
- Quicker ability to assess financial metrics for improved management and forecasting
- Streamlined project portfolio - easy to make clear decision to 'kill' projects
- Better stakeholder / sponsor involvement through clear governance

Bubble Innovator is used across the business but primarily by those cross functional teams that are all part of launching new products - supply chain, marketing, quality, R&D etc.
- Gives us one point of truth for both the projects and reporting.
- Allows accountability for team members.
- Is very easy to use.
- Parent child relationship between projects.
- Dependencies between gates and timings.
- Consistency and one point of truth.
- Given us a clear process to follow.
- Agile PPM
Agile PPM is modules-based on the agile spec system. It is more task-based, whereas Bubble Innovator is outcome-based. As a business, we needed something very simple to slowly get the teams used to using this type of software and also allowing for empowerment as opposed to hand-holding of team members.
Innovator is also very easy to use and understand, unlike Agile.
With the Bubble Innovator team, we were able to configure the system to how we wanted it, plus have great support all the way through the process and even now that we are live, including when we wanted to change things! Our relationship with the Bubble team was also why we chose it.

Bubble Innovator - Simple straightforward portfolio management

Bubble Innovator is being used across our organizations as a single "source of truth" for new product development, program/project descriptions, financial impact, status and stage gate milestone progress. It is further being adapted to be used for the same purpose for research programs and clinical studies.
The Bubble Innovator product solves the problem of multiple sources of truth floating through your organization regarding the status of any program/project at any point in time. It also reduces the multiple demands from different quarters of an "update" since you can point everyone to Bubble Innovator as that "single source of truth" for the new product development (NPD) pipeline.

- The Bubble Innovator team is particularly good at listening and seeking to understand your specific requirements and needs to make sure the outcome of the product meets those needs.
- The Bubble Innovator product is fast, efficient and available and accessible from anywhere.
- The Bubble Innovator product gives you layered levels of logic associated with your programs so you can decide what rolls up with what or not as desired to suit the business needs.
- Bubble Innovator is still working out the best logic to be used for collections of projects that are part of a program. It is not a project management software platform but must still manage/show dependencies appropriately.
- Sometimes it is difficult to capture the right information for the right report. Note that a company's constantly changing needs for reports becomes Bubble Innovator's nightmare to keep abreast of. Bubble Innovator has introduced a custom report generator for their customers so you have more personal control over creating the reports you want.
- Improves the efficiency of your organization because everyone knows that the single source of truth for your programs is located in one place.
- Drives consistency within the organization, especially a large one. Everyone speaking a common language is paramount to efficiency and understanding.
We tried several systems before we went with Bubble Innovator - the key difference was that all the other systems were overly complex trying to do so many things that you just got lost in the processes they had created. Innovator seeks to stay simple and straightforward to use and implement in your organization.

Bubble Innovator has had a tremendous impact on our ability to clearly visualize our complex product portfolio and to manage the priorities so our resources are effectively deployed. Managing our resources and ensuring that our corporate strategies were being met was beginning to get unmanageable as we grew. Bubble Innovator fit very well within the stage-gate process that we were deploying. We are using it among multiple organizations throughout the world.
- Bubble Innovator is a tremendous visualization tool. The entire organization can quickly see where projects are in the stage-gate process.
- Bubble Innovator became a key part of our strategic process for new product revenue projections. Utilizing Bubble Innovator as a portfolio management tool allows us to quickly output new product revenue projections for our strategic planning process.
- Bubble Innovator is highly flexible. We are able to adapt it to our particular needs at different sites. This adaptability also allows us to utilize information to support other business processes.
- As the Bubble Innovator solution evolves, tighter tie-ins with other software solutions will be advantageous.
- Bubble Innovator helped us drive new product on time deliveries to 80% on-time product launches.
- Our corporate target was new product making up 20% of our annual revenues. Bubble Innovator helped us manage our resources to plan and exceed that goal.
- Bubble innovator allowed us to redeploy a full time team member that was managing spreadsheets of information for monthly updates. It also saved our project managers significant amounts of time that they could dedicate back to their projects.
When evaluating Bubble Innovator against the competition, we felt that Bubble Innovator gave us the flexibility that we were looking for. Other solutions tended to have some hardwired functionality. Bubble Innovator was a great fit for managing our projects and was efficient to deploy, especially within our existing business processes.
