- PI planning, On Every quarter the identified taks have been tracked with it
- This works well for backlog grooming
- This will help us to manage the cross team deliverables
Cons
- The UI is bit complex for new users who never used it. i think this can be sorted out by providing the steps to access?
- dashboards with large datasets can cause performance lags or timeouts
- Introduce more flexible, template-based RBAC configurations.

- Roadmap View.
- Project Governance Planning.
- Prioritization of Entities (Feature/Epics etc.).
Cons
- Ideas portal - the external view compared to Aha! is lacking, so much so we've had to keep some lite Aha! Seats as an external-facing ideas portal is critical.
Has promise but needs to be less complicated to use

- Shows/syncs roadmaps with ADO delivery plans
- Allows for different reporting for tracking work progress
Cons
- Self-service in configuring new item types, workflows, automation. Requires us to pay a contractor to do these things.
- Expensive to roll out to organization. We have to limit licenses to users to submit new Ideas, requiring us to define others ways to submit.
- I'd like to see a metamodel of the way my company has Targetprocess configured of different entity types. The only model seems to be for Targetprocess data/meta-model.
- Better training, documentation on how to create new entities, set up workflows and automations. The existing documentation only covers siloed topics and doesn't show how to do end-to-end setup of a new entity type. What is EVERYTHING I need to do, not just, how do I update an unused entity type to be what I want. What do I do after that to use it?
Great tool to get more visibility into your ongoing streams of work
