In my organization, Micro Focus PPM is used by Project Managers, Business/Technical Analysts, Test Engineers and Developers. Starting with a proposal from Business unit, Project Managers (if it concerns more people and units) or Business/Technical Analysts (if it concerns a small unit or group) use this tool as a central management platform. All documentations and KPIs are managed over this tool. All resources are attached to projects and kept track of timesheets. All deployments (change management) are managed/directed by this tool.
- Easy to manage tasks among project's stakeholders
- Satifying resource management capabilities
- Complete dashboard (fully customizable screens and integrations)
- sometimes it needs some walkthroughs over screens in order to achieve a task
- Unable to emphasize the important fields of pages (customization may result in messy screens)
- Old GUI style avoids the advantage of new technologies
We use Micro Focus PPM for Project Management and the Change Management processes. It has been used mainly by our IT Department and request entry is open to all organizations. It addresses Project Management, Portfolio Management, Time Management, and Change Management processes of the IT Department.

Kings of the IT Demand Management Solution
Micro Focus PPM (formerly HP PPM) is being used by the whole organization—across all IT silos, the technical support team, the software development team, and all executives. Micro Focus PPM is solving demand management of our company by using Workflow Management, Resource Management, Portfolio Management, and Program Management modules.
- Micro Focus PPM has itself approach to Project and Portfolio Management domain. It is perfectly solving our demand management problem and silos transparency problem of companies.
- Demand management is supported by its perfect visual and scalable workflow engine.
- Resource management requirements perfectly solved with PPM in project-based working teams.
- Portfolio Management and Program Management modules perfectly designed to manage all projects overall and easily.
- The workflow engine is perfect, but there is room for improvement. The Workflow engine script language is not capable enough. For example, if you want to call an RPC (Remote Call Procedure) you have to do it in a tricky way.
- Each rose has a thorn. In the Workflow engine, you can configure each field's visibility and obligation state in a form depend on the status of workflow steps. Even if your approval step has passed you can still see and edit fields in the form and can save your changes.
HP Project and Portfolio (PPM) is being used to track all IT projects for the State of Oklahoma, all pre-construction projects for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, for the workflow of many internal processes for the Office Of Management and Enterprise Services (invoicing, purchasing, position tracking, change management and internal billing). The tool aids the department in defining business processes and automating them.
- The dashboards and search capabilities allow for an enhanced end user experience, allowing them to customize their views and access to data.
- The automated workflow tool allows us to define and automate business processes across the organization.
- The Project tool allows us to track and monitor IT projects across the state.
- The Staffing Profile and Resource Management module could be easier to use and allow for more flexibility in determine resourcing leveling.
- The financial summary could be made more flexible if you were able to put notes on each financial summary line.
- Allowing for an easier interface from a financial module to the financial summary would allow for easier updating of the actuals.

Not a great Project Management Tool
HP Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) is used by the entire organization in IT to manage projects from discovery to delivery. The entire project reports of all phases are generated from PPM. At the same time, time tracking also happens in PPM. This allows for budget tracking within the tool.
- Time Tracking
- Project Status Reports
- User Interface needs lot of improvement
- Too many clicks required to do the job
- Report creation is horrible
