Product Details

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. By integrating planning and execution, it enables organizations to prioritize their portfolios, balance organizational capacity against demand, link plans and resources to project execution, and manage the underlying financials of the entire process.

Capability and Technology Management (formerly Troux) is designed to drive business outcomes by connecting technology with business context. The vendor says this enables IT leaders to advance business strategies and capabilities by making better decisions about application and technology portfolios. According to the vendor, the module’s data model and visualizations, combined with deep domain expertise in application and technology management, enable customers to achieve shorter time to value and to better communicate the business value of IT.

We use Planview Portfolios for all of the corporate funded programs and projects and to certain extent divisionally funded projects. Planview Portfolios is used starting from Planning (identifying potential opportunities), program and project management, capacity and demand management and reporting. We use SSRS for reporting. We have integrated with other IT systems within the organization for a complete solution for our Executive Team and User community.
  • Capture potential opportunities using the Requests Module and analyze and rank these opportunities via lifecycles and promote (dispatch) approved opportunities into Projects. Information captured during the request process automatically get transferred to projects.
  • Robust schedule management; time reporting; resource management and financial planning and management
  • Risk and Issue management controlled via robust lifecycles.
  • 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.
If you are planning to do a robust project, program and portfolio management with integrations with other critical tools within the organization, Planview products are best suited for this kind of work. Additionally, Planview Product Teams working with the customers like us to implement and improve features requested by users quickly and efficiently makes Planview as the recommended application.

  • Customizable
  • Multiple configurations - Adding tiles and multiple ways to do things.

Product is very efficient and can be treated as one stop solution for Project Management, I like Functionality to manage portfolios / projects and the abilities to customize lifecycle workflows with a simple or complex approval process. Ease of reporting across all functionality using standard reports or create your own with power BI.

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
Best Suited for Reporting and managing finances. Well i don't have specific scenario to explain same but job is getting done

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

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.
Planview Portfolios is a great tool for resource management and project planning. User adoption is our biggest challenge. Data is different in various reporting depending on which screen a user is on. We put a lot of effort into training and re-training and that helps. Time reporting is also easy. As long as assignments are done properly, resources can log their time weekly with ease.
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.

I currently use Planview Portfolios in a system administrator capacity. I help our users understand Planview capabilities that can help solve their project/program management needs. At the moment our users are looking for solutions to give leadership an idea of what efforts are occurring and who is managing them. In the near future that will expand to the resources delivery that work for those efforts and the costs associated to deliver. The product has already solved for getting project data into the tool and who is managing those projects. It has also helped align those efforts to company/leadership strategies. With a very large organization with anywhere from 700+ projects going at one time, reporting is a key deliverable our teams are looking to Planview for once data enters into the tool. We are currently up and running with reporting options but do feel they could be expanded.
  • 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.
Portfolios is best suited for situations where you have a detailed project methodology process, resource management guidelines in place and financial partners who are engaged in the process. It is a tool that requires collaboration from many areas to be able to deliver accurate reporting to help drive project/program decisions for a division or company.

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.

We use it primarily for capacity and roadmap planning. It provides us a lot of great views and reports to identify possible bottlenecks for projects and look at ways we can address the issue. It allows for ease of scheduling, reporting and managing of project financials once the project kicks off and away to manage the pipeline of what is to become a project.
  • Scheduling
  • Planning
  • Finances
  • simplicity
  • integration
  • flexibility with out of the box reporting
Planview has allowed us to work with teams, stakeholders and project managers to identify where issues may lie with staffing and what potential trade-offs may be required. It allows Resource Managers to manage and schedule their resources with ease. Resources are also able to review their schedule to see what the expectations and schedule are upcoming.

Planview Portfolios is used to track development efforts of new products during their entire lifecycle and to centralize all the steps and requirements for easy access of the team members who execute the process while also providing good data to monitor process health. The main positive use is to provide our team members a unified experience instead of jumping thru multiple tools and access requests.
  • Lifecyles
  • Gantt charts
  • Document storage
  • UX design
  • Dynamic roadmaps
  • Integration with company emails for tagging
Well suited= for complex processes, involving many users where a process is robust and somehow stable. Also, when there is availability to have dedicated tool support.
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.

We are currently using Planview Portfolios for project management, capacity and demand planning, intake and financial reporting.
  • 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
Nationwide has customized several reports so that we can see things essential to us for capacity and demand planning. There were also a lot of customizations that had to be done around approvals of resources so that we were able to distinguish what was approved by the teams vs requested by someone for the teams to do work. With the defaulting of TimeNow, we are unable to look at capacity for the entire month, since the block of time is 30 days and not the actual calendar month.

Planview Portfolios allowed us to see all of our work across a truly global, large, complex IT organization for the first time. The value it has created has been enormous so much so that we have other functions within the organization desperate to join the IT teams in using its capabilities! It's resulted in my team being very busy!
  • 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.
Portfolios are suited to large organizations with existing Project Management practices and processes already in place. PMOs or a similar structure are really essential to help manage and support this system. Do not try to create processes by implementing a tool, get the processes first, and then get the tool to work for those processes.

Planview is used by the IT department for project portfolio management, project management, and timesheets. By planning each project and the required resources needed, we can optimize the execution and identify risks in advance. The project managers have an easy and complete tool to track project status and support organization decisions.
  • 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
Strong in project management. Planning tasks, resources, and report timesheets are easy. The system has different planning features and a stable progress engine. Customization is not very in-depth but the system is absolutely stable.

The problems that this platform helped me to improve was by organizing all our projects by organizing them in a portfolio, it allows us to visualize the status of each project we are working on and makes it easier for us to make decisions, it has also made it easier for me to assign which staff would correspond to which project, has increased our productivity and has also helped us improve internal collaboration among our staff; You can say that it can be used by companies that need to improve their internal management and improve their organization.
  • 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.
If you want to organize your projects by priority and progress, this platform is for you, it helps you to visualize directly what you still need to finish and how to improve, and it helps to improve the relationship between collaborators and to work as a team, It could improve in the sense of giving more dynamism and ease of use to its platform, it is not easy to use for everyone.

I use Planview to estimate workload and perform long term analysis when an effort might require new people. We also use this tool for budgeting allocations which is very helpful
  • 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
this is a great tool that really helps visualize estimates. The tool pulls together a few different tools into one which is incredible

Planview Enterprise One is being used for PPM capabilities currently and has been used for APM capabilities in the past. It was in the APM space where I used and worked as an administrator for the platform, formerly called Troux. We used Troux from the 9.x version and upgrade into 12. We were using this platform to get our arms around the ever-growing application portfolio. There were many unknowns, including application TCO, health and risk. We found instances of investment to applications that were planned for sunsetting, and this platform allowed us to redirect. It provided a snapshot into the health of our application portfolio as well, allowing for us to better plan future investment and mitigate risk.
  • 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
Probably the best tool for both PPM and APM capabilities on the market today. Well suited for companies who are ready and able to commit. This means total buy-in from the entire organization. Companies must also be strategically minded and flexible with process / organizational change management. Not well suited for organizations who are inflexible or who only think tactically. These organizations might perform very well from an operational vantage, but will struggle with Enterprise One.

Currently the IT department is using it to manage projects and time tracking. It replaced Microsoft Project.
  • 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
This seems to be a decent tool but needs a lot of customization. Having to depend on the vendor to do simple database tasks is off-putting.

Currently, in Allianz Insurance, we use PV to manage our inflight projects through a gated waterfall approach with an active desire to explore Leankit Agile functionalities, we use the Financial management elements to track ongoing project costs and how those actuals vary against the forecasts made initially, allowing us to easily pick out financial variances with little to no effort, this allows us to spot which PMs need to provide variance commentary. we also have recently refined the way we track Risks, Issues and Changes by both implementing the out-of-the-box feilds and alternate structures, as well as adding our own custom fields to taylor the informtation gathering to our company's internal process requirements. this gives us very rich information on where our priorities should lie when mitigating risks before escalating to issues, and where we should be raising change requests to get projects back on track and revisions to their resources. Planview is currently used mainly within our UK and Germany delivery organisations and subsiqently used by our practice leads to perform resource management tasks, such as requirement approval and creating allocations on projects, however, in previous organisations, i have also seen PV work effectivly with dedicated departmental resource managers. with the use of resource portfolios, resource management and capacity planning becomes a walk in the park, and living in a day and age where flexible working has become the norm and mental health has become far more important than ever, tracking individual resource utilisation from a singluar page is a line manager/resource managers dream. Planview really ticks all the boxes.
  • 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.
We have been struggling to communicate with our delivery partners about the lack of quality when it comes to project-level information and data, when implementing an Ad-Hoc tabular model and getting a real handle of our data in Planview, our governance team was now armed with the ammunition they needed in order to face the issue head-on. using high quality dashboards and information provided by the project managers from Planview, the metrics spoke for themselves, and exposed senior stakeholders to the reality of alot of the unasked and unanswered questions across the organization, "Are these projects really Green?" "Why are these projects proceeding at Risk?" - and the conversations truly began, putting pressure on our delivery team to step it up a gear in respects to data quality, giving out governance organization the support they needed to enforce high quality policies onto our delivery organization.

Planview Enterprise One is used across our Enterprise to capture insights into RBC's total investment in its initiative portfolio, helping us manage both investment and execution risk while also ensuring optimal value realization.
  • 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
Excellent tool for tracking projects that follow traditional methodologies have a defined beginning and end. Some challenges exist in leveraging the tool for Agile/persistent teams where multiple projects are being delivered on very short time cycles that don't align with how funding is approved.

We use Planview's time reporting functionality along with financial management, project management, some resource management and requests. Requests are used as a way for users to request help on issues. Financial management is used heavily by our Finance department to help manage development projects.
  • 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.
With the various options Planview offers it truly is a product that could meet a wide range of needs either across different companies or across different business units within one company. If you need to do only project management, not a problem. Start with PMing and slowly introduce other aspects like Resource Management as the company can absorb it.
