Planview Portfolios

Formerly Planview Enterprise One

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

we use Planview Enterprise One as our project management tool within the PMO team for managing & tracking projects, resource and capacity planning & annual planning

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.

Currently the IT department is using it to manage projects and time tracking. It replaced Microsoft Project.

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.

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.

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.

Planview is the sole Project and resource management tool in our organization. It is largely used by the PMO team to plan projects, add tasks and budget and reconciliation of external and internal spend. The rest of the employees use it to report time. Coming from an organization whose main revenue comes from staffing Planview plays a cruicial role in determining time allocations, resource allocations and budget allocations as well. One of the most useful feature is automatic reconciliation of budget.

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.

It is used primarily by the technology based groups, but used by others as tasks are assigned to them. It helps solve accountability by department leaders of understanding when tasks are being bottlenecked by a specific group. In addition, it helps allocate resources are look for efficiencies in certain areas that are receiving additional tasks.

Planview Enterprise One is being used for project, portfolio and resource management for IT. The users are strictly within IT, but resources managed within include all of IT plus the business resources that participate in and contribute to projects. It serves as our primary system of record for all IT project work and primarily addresses the historical problem of the organization taking on too much work without taking into account the resources required to do the work. By availing capacity and utilization data captured in PVE, the organization is better informed, makes smarter decisions and focuses on the most critical strategic projects and outcomes.

Used by the whole organization to manage Portfolio Planning and budgeting, and for approving new projects and following up on past commitments.

We are using this product across our entire organization on a global basis. We use it for project planning and timesheets, as well as collaborative work management. This assists us in planning future projects as well as accounting for project time for ongoing project endeavors.

Planview Enterprise One is used across the whole organization, primarily for project and resource management. We currently have over 8k projects and 1,000 users which are made up of project managers, team members, and senior management. Planview Enterprise One solves our need for a central location for all project management. It enables us to run various reports for delays to capture risks, issues, and changes, along with health. We also have an interface with Salesforce, consisting of a bi-directional data feed. The use of MS Power BI allows us to customize reports and make them available in a user-friendly analytic tile, or through the mobile app.

[We're] Using it as a project/portfolio management tool within the IT department. It has a very simple user interface, and self-explanatory screens/tabs. Project search capability using filters and bookmarks is nice. Task level administration for actual vs. expected % of completions is helpful. It's good for assigning resources at the task level for billing purposes. Reporting modules, with all the RGB statuses of various projects, are in one place at the portfolio level. Project's weight-age [are available] by portfolio for prioritization and funding approval.

Planview Enterprise is being used by our IT extensively for time tracking. They plan to use the project management and request management in the future. Some of the departments that use Planview Enterprise for project tracking include Research, Space & Facilities Planning and Internal Audit.

We are using Planview to manage all IT resources and committee funded projects. We have roughly 900 resources in the tool. We are using it to manage project financials and status reporting, manage resource demand and capacity and to make decisions around our portfolio of projects and what gets approved and when.

It is used by our entire department but most heavily used by the PMO. We use it for work and resource management and some product management. It addresses our need of measuring project cost and managing project work.

We have implmented PVE across a division within the company. Our objective is to make informed decisions faster and to improve predictability of our NPD projects. We also are attempting to increase consistency in our global processes for executing work within the division.

Planview Enterprise (PVE) is currently being used across our entire organization. Every resource, associate and contractor, is required to record their daily effort into the PVE timesheet. The only exception is for Executive level resources. Both project (billable and non-billable) work and non-project work are tracked to provide utilization data, as well as the raw data that feeds the Billing process and verification of vendor invoices. Although all work/projects live in PVE, we are not currently requiring traditional Project Management practices to be performed in PVE by our PMs, however some do. Currently, our projects funded by the Development Budget are tracked with more rigor and also require the PM to provide accurate forecasting data in the Financial Planning area of PVE. Resource Management practices of tracking and balancing role-based demand with supply is just emerging into our use of PVE. Efforts continue to implement enterprise-wide practices in this area to allow better management oversight with less manual tracking in outside data sources.

Planview Enterprise is used cross the organization, in all divisions, for managing the portfolio of IT related projects. Thus both planned projects managed by portfolio managers and also on-going projects managed by project managers. It gives us both transparency on how we are planning to use the IT budget for the coming year but also a view of how the ongoing projects are progressing.

Here at Carestream, we use Planview Enterprise to help us manage our information technology projects, programs, and portfolios. We have been using Planview Enterprise since 2009, supporting over 1000 users across 17 time zones. Corporate IT users made up of project managers, relationship managers, operations infrastructure and applications IT finance users. IT runs typical IT portfolio projects reaching across all Carestream business areas. Healthcare Information Solutions supports all customer installations. Each install is set up as a separate project. Research and Development uses Planview Enterprise to manage R&D efforts and track strategies.

Planview is being used by our IT organization and our business unit that manages customer installations. For IT, it helps manage our portfolio of projects and the resources used to execute those projects. The tools give us visibility into our capacity and demand management needs and lets us forecast our resource and investment needs. We are also able to manage programs and portfolios consisting of multiple projects. For our business unit handling customer installations, the tool captures the quote and tracks the labor and cost associated with each installation. As we perform the installation, we also able to forecast the effort and cost needed to complete the install and see how it aligns with the quote.
