Planview TaskTop Hub - a good choice for an integration tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Planview TaskTop Hub plays an important role to archieve a seamless exchange between different endtools in our processes requirement management and quality assurrance. With Planview TaskTop Hub, we've implemented the integration between two different Jama Connect instances, Jama Connect and Jira. The coming use case will be the integration between Jama Connect and a modeling tool.

Pros

  • Data mapping through a end-tool neutral model
  • Flexible and diverse possibilities for data transformation
  • Easy to start a new integration
  • Having competent consultants (such as Andreas P) and technical support engineers (such as Christoph T)
  • Powerful feature - extension

Cons

  • Being dependent to availability and quality of REST API provided by Endtools
  • Diagram in Enterprise Architect (EA) being synced as Base64 image. But Base64 Image can not be displayed in Jira. The concept of Integration EA-> Jama -> Jira won't be able to work fully
  • License model, in certain extent, is an obstacle for customers to expand their integration concept
  • Planview TaskTop Hub does not have functionality to delete a synced item. It can only create and edit items

Return on Investment

  • Limiting human errors by manual data transferring and data duplicating
  • Teams could work with their favorite tool
  • However, it requires additional administrative effort as well as a well defined process

Planview TaskTop Hub review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Planview TaskTop Hub to integrate AgilePlace and Azure DevOps. There are currently 18 integrations running between three segments for Epics, Features and User Stories in both Test Region and Production. It is used to manage scrum team efforts to create an end-to-end portfolio management solution between both tools. We soon will be adding Initiatives to get the full scope of work in the hierarchy. We use Planview TaskTop Hub to eliminate duplicate data entry and to automate traceability.

Pros

  • Allows for one- vs bi-directional field flow which is useful per segment
  • Allows for the relationship mapping of Parent/Child cards
  • Allows for customization of mapped fields

Cons

  • It would be great to copy collections and integrations.
  • Add a search field to the already mapped fields. Example Lane/State. We have to map over 250 lanes and oftentimes must scroll to view what are already mapped.
  • Ability to disassociate artifact pairs after an X amount of time.
  • Version history of scripts made available within the script itself. Add time/date stamps and what changes occurred.

Return on Investment

  • We track monthly updates and each month there are typically over 30,000 updates being made which we know is saving time.

  • Monthly calls with Planview reps to discuss current issues and opportunities for growth facilitates good communication channels between orgs.
  • Detailed support documentation to aid in development and troubleshooting.

Cons

  • I'd like to see more robust reporting capabilities available from the UI.

Return on Investment

  • Significantly reduced manual effort of migrating work items across tools.

  • Tracks Duplicate information in end points of systems.
  • transitions requirements through the process effectively.

Cons

  • Troubleshooting issues.
  • Automatically fix broken end points or disregard them.
  • UI is a little clunky in areas.
