What is Planview Portfolios?
Planview Portfolios is a project portfolio management and enterprise architecture management tool provided by Planview, Inc., located in Austin, TX. It includes two components: Portfolio and Resource Management (formerly Planview Enterprise), and Capability and Technology Management (formerly Troux). The platform is available as a cloud-based or on-premise service.
Portfolio and Resource Management (formerly Planview Enterprise) connects strategy to execution by improving decision making across the enterprise, including product development, IT, and services.

Planview Portfolios for successful Project and Portfolio Management

- Extensive reporting capabilities via SSRS and Power BI Dashboards and delivered to users via tiles in Project and Portfolio views.
- Work and Assignments module - this module can be enhanced to have auto scheduling features and ability to copy and paste tasks from spreadsheets etc.
- Standard tools to bulk import data into Planview via spreadsheets; currently customization is required.
- Options to configure ROI metrics calculations, especially with IRR calculations.
- Updates to Timesheet reporting module; show the schedule hierarchy on the screen instead of hover text.
PlanView Casual User
- Customizable
- Multiple configurations - Adding tiles and multiple ways to do things.
- when creating a change - (loading forecast/financial information) previous information gets overwritten unless you copy the previous plan
First year Planview Experience.
- Project management
- Resource Management
- Capacity planning
- Financial Management
- Project actions
From my experience product reliability and customer support have not been the best.
Planview Portfolios is where it's at!
- Financial Management
- System Uptime / availability (Cloud hosted)
- Customer Support
- Resource Management
- Ability to configure to our company needs (customize)
- Ability to import from Financial Management into WBS
- Improve on their releases - too many bugs and hot fixes with their monthly release schedule
- Ability to update Tabular Model data real time vs having to run nightly refresh jobs
- Offer more out of the box PowerBI template reports for standard product functionality
1 Year With Application
I have also used Agile place , Project Place User interface is doing great job, i am excited about HUB where we can integrate all application that will be milestone in Planview.
- Workflows , Lifecycles do great job
- Planview Support is very spontaneous and effective.
- Integration with Power BI has really increased the scope in terms with reporting.
- Planview Integration with Power Apps is area of improvement
- Planview Trainings need to be more frequent
Less appropriate when new and younger staff is using tool they are completely blank about this technology, i suggest simple learning videos from that pont of view
Projects, People & Planning with Planview Portfolios
Resource and team utilization
Business bill back for IT Labor
Project and resource reporting - PowerBI and FastTrack
- User Administration
- FastTrack Reporting
- Flexibility in the project lifecycle workflows
- All capacity/demand calendars should match for reporting. for example, PLN01 does not display the same detail as RMA screen.
- Easier and less expensive ways to integrate with other platforms in our company
- Work and Assignments - too many options and confusing for users.
Reporting capabilities - with an inhouse report developer we still have to reply on the expense to Plainview for a report developer because of access to the report server and data. This slows down delivery of report initiatives and can get costly.
Good tool with lots of potential
- Ability to create simple or complex lifecycles when needed
- Viewing a portfolio of data at once for overall group view
- Resource management expansion over the years has allowed more valuable data
- Increases for data system can process when it comes to reporting
- Allowing strategic structure capabilities to be similar to all others, currently limited in add/deletes from a structure standpoint and have to go the portfolio route.
It is less suited for organizations that are in the beginning stages or developing a project methodology process. There are many capabilities but without process driven goals and outcomes, the options may be overwhelming and used individually instead of together as they were intended. It is also, less suited for very high drive reporting environments who are looking for expansive reports with large amounts of data at one time. It can be done but not without some constraints and bumps along the way.
Great tool
- Scheduling
- Planning
- Finances
- simplicity
- integration
- flexibility with out of the box reporting
Thermo Fisher Program Governance
- capacity monitoring
- task break outs
- Portfolio groups
- Administration simplification
- Ease of management
- Less pop-ups, more checkboxes
Dashboards - not so much as we have to export data to another tool
Constant pop-up windows. Administration needs to be simplified.
Planview portfolios is worth reviewing and considering
- Lifecyles
- Gantt charts
- Document storage
- UX design
- Dynamic roadmaps
- Integration with company emails for tagging
Less appropriate= for smaller use cases (less than 200ppl) or where a process is still not mature and changing a lot. Also, for very fast / immediate needs might not be suited since it takes time to learn about the tool capabilities.
Planview Portfolios - Customizations
- Project structure
- Project financials
- Creating work and/or strategy portolios
- Creating resource portfolios
- Capacity and Demand Management - Allowing for specific criteria and future forward planning.
- Automated notifications for new work and/or approvals
Planview Portfolios - great for large organizations with existing Project Management expertise.
- Visibility.
- Persona based views - reporting and tiles.
- Robust system.
- There is a lot to take on - many users experience information overload.
- UI is a bit 'old' but improvements are coming soon.
- All the aspects of project management are covered (plan, baseline, resource, risk, issue, change, and financial planning)
- Resource management is effective; various allocation type offers flexibility (allocation, authorization, reserver)
- Project planning is easy. Different perspective are available
- Outcome management allows for creating products and services roadmap
- There are many tiles and reports but they could be more flexible (more filters in standard tiles and a better reporting system)
- Could be useful a better integration between planning and ticket system

One of the best project management platform.
- Improved our internal collaboration.
- improve the assignment of projects to the corresponding people.
- Helped us organize our projects by relevance and progress.
- An improvement would be to make a platform more dynamic and easy to use.
- The depth of the analysis could be improved to offer more detailed information about the projects.
- Add more automation features.
fantastic tool that delivers on promises
- easy to use interface
- love the color changes when a person is over allocated
- love the ability to select timesheets
- the font sizes need to be changed because very difficult to read
- there are multiple items called "timesheets' which need to change
- feels like there are overlaps in services
An EA's best friend
- Outstanding metamodel for application portfolio management within CTM
- Intuitive insights that are easy to generate
- Very knowledgeable EA's available from Planview to help
- Overwhelming capabilities for new implementations
- Requires substantial process changes, inflexible to current process
- CTM feels more like an afterthought vs PPM side
Just one person's opinion
- Manage hours spent by resources
- Track multiple types of statuses
- Record financial expenditures
- The search feature is seriously lacking accuracy
- Stability and performance issues are common
Planview makes us Plan-True, a PPM solution that towers among the greats
- Project Planning
- Risk/Issue/Change management
- Financial Planning
- Strategy & Planning
- Resource Management
- Depedancy Management
- Time Recording (although, we find explaining what time recording impacts to be the only way to explain the benefits to Project managers)
- Waterfall Gate Management (through the use of Lifecycles)
- Power BI integration using Ad-Hoc Tabular models (The Greatest thing you guys have created so far.... just saying)
- Column Sets, makes quick updates and tabular data a breeze.
- Loading times... even if there is no VPN running or the Internet connection is blisteringly fast, Planview in all of my organizations has been clunky and slow... which is the biggest user turn-off and where we Admins get all the grief from the user base... seriously needs addressing.
- It's browser-based only... id love to see this as an App or a Client... at least for performing basic tasks such as recording Time or Risks, etc.... would speed things up and utilize more of the performance of whatever device is being used.
- Fastrack analytics.... guys, it's 2021, these reports look fresh out of a 1988 Bill gates portfolio, some of these graphs look like they should be loaded on a gigantic CRT monitor running on Windows 3.1... jokes aside, the information quality is great, but the visuals are just so dated.
- deleting/adding our own attributes to ad-hoc tabular models which we have purchased... as you guys are aware, processes mature all the time in organizations... meaning the information we ask of people changes with it, which means, we need a faster/more cost-effective way of adding and removing attributes to Power BI Tabular models instead of raising tickets and paying for consultancy every time.
- Having some kind of mechanism to track Risks/Issues/Dependanies that have been accepted into BAU after a project has closed would be useful... although I understand the purpose of a PPM tool, keeping track of active risks and issues that have been delegated to a central BAU risk and issues log would be very helpful.
- Aggregation of work items into strategic portfolios
- Project lifecycle gating - ensuring steps are completed before proceeding to next gate
- Comparison of actual/forecast spend to approved budget
- Risk and issue tracking
- Better tracking of benefit milestones (OKRs)
- More intuitive interfaces
- Speed of refresh
Allows flexibility and visibility to key project needs
- The company is fabulous to work with at all levels. The passion for the product is shown by all you meet.
- Versatile to meet a variety of needs.
- The theory of forecasting for teams vs. resources is still a work in progress but they are making good strides.
- The timesheets could be more user friendly. They have improved over the years but needs a little more work.
