We are using PPM Pro in all our projects covering both waterfall and agile modes of fulfilling projects. The integration through Tasktop makes the integration almost seamless and we realize the results of our planing through the details of Jira or other SDLC products.<br>It is very easy to learn, easy to use and a record migration of projects to the system.
  • Portfolio and Project management for both waterfall and Agile projects
  • Integration with the market SDLC tools
  • fast migration of projects to start the production
  • a fast implementation cycle
PPM pro is an amazing fast to deploy and fast to get started in the almost all needed functionality you need to run your PMO. It is an economic and easy to learn.

We use Planview PPM Pro as our Project Management Tool in [...] IT. We enter project requests which are reviewed and quoted by the delivery teams and then approved by the Business Relationship Management in the workflow. Later they are turned into Projects and we manage the projects in the Tool. We are trying to have all the Projects from [...] IT in that Tool because we also do Reporting on the Projects. These reports are mostly for our VPs and Business Partners to see the overview of what is going on currently.
  • Management of Project deliverables and milestones
  • Portfolio Management
  • Demand Management
Planview PPM Pro is for centralized project solution is good.

Maybe not so suitable for large enterprise solution.

We use it to track all IT Project Requests and track IT labor against those projects. We track project portfolios by business unit. In addition to Projects we also track Administrative, Operational, and Small Enhancement activities. Also use it to manage resources - to see what percent they are allocated for current and future project tasks.
  • Portfolio Management
  • Labor Reporting
  • Resource Management
Well suited for Project Portfolio Management - gives visibility to all portfolios and projects within. We are not using it for the individual project management activities - not as a methodology

Would like to explore the Project Request stage gate process/workflow.

PPM Pro is great for managing a large number of projects.

My organization uses PPM Pro for Project and Portfolio Management. It is highly configurable, allowing us maximum flexibility in adding or removing data points and generating many reports and dashboards to monitor project progress and health.
  • Reports and Dashboards.
  • Request Queues and Workflows.
  • Calculated Fields.
Planview is wonderful if you have a large number of projects and want to group them into portfolios. It seems less useful if you have only a handful of projects.

We use Planview PPM Pro for project and portfolio management as our System of Record for all projects. Planview allows for visibility across all levels of the organization of ongoing and planned projects. Using Planview allows us to have a seamless progression from demand intake to project creation. It also allows us to track project phases and process gates. Another benefit of Planview is that is allows us to manage resources with its resource capacity tracking capabilities.
  • Easily track project phases and process gates
  • Seamless progression from request to project creation
  • Reporting & Dashboards - Projects/Request Status
Planview PPM Pro has been super helpful for planning and managing projects and requests. I think the reporting has great insight to request and project management. However, it can be quite difficult to create simple reports. The report builder is not very easy to use, and is missing many capabilities seen in various other reporting tools. Being able to have visibility to all current requests and being able to easily turn it into a project is extremely useful.

Good software to unify project efforts, looking forward to using more Planview products!

Within my organization, PMO uses PPMPro in order to track action items, issues, decisions, as well as time allocations for project core team members, project priority ranking, and core team member assignments. PMO uses all of the information for our projects in PPMPro to create dashboards for senior leadership presentations and communications. PMO also uses PPMPro as a one-stop shop for all things project related and enforces its use amongst our dedicated project core teams.
  • Resource allocation
  • Action item tracking
  • Dashboards
PPMPro is well suited for tracking new product introduction projects, as well as process changes. It serves to reliably track ongoing action items, issues, resource allocations for projects.
Areas where PPMPro is less appropriate for use: Project to project dependencies, automating action item notifications on multiple platforms, integrations of PPMPro into other platforms PMO typically uses (like MS Projects, Teams, ppt, etc)

We use PPM Pro to manage projects and strategic programs. We use for the details of project and capacity management, tracking risks and issues, sharing information, and providing transparency to our portfolio of work.
  • Customer support via tickets
  • Options for paid consulting
  • Frequent webinars and roadmap updates
PPM Pro is well suited as is for customers tracking waterfall projects or managing agile tasks elsewhere and making data from that tool available for reporting. Another tool would likely be better for a team or department that is fully agile.

We use Planview PPM Pro to manage our portfolio of IT projects. All projects are tracked within the system as well as time spent on each project. On a bi-weekly basis the portfolio is reviewed with the team to address any projects that require help or support. All project financials are also tracked within the system.
  • Dashboards in real-time
  • Interdependencies between projects
  • Financials
Planview PPM Pro is a fantastic tool to manage a portfolio of projects in an easy to use and intuitive approach. The data is all integrated which allows for information coming together is various modules. In addition, all reporting is real-time which helps increase the trust in the information that is presented. I highly recommend this product.

  • Reports and dashboards to report on the big picture
  • The pre-built reports and dashboards

It works great for resource management and simple project management.

Wake County Government utilizes PPM PRO as our Project and Application Portfolio management system. We have been using PPM PRO for over 8 years now and have grown our capability maturity along with the functionality that the tool offers. We have been extremely successful with growth and expansion toward enterprise use within the county to track technology related projects and applications. We are continuing our growth with the use of the resource management functionality and also interfacing with other Planview suite tools like ProjectPlace. We look forward to what new features are slated in this year's Roadmap and how we can incorporate them into our strategic work planning.
  • Project Portfolio Management
  • Application Portfolio Management
  • Resource Management
  • Reports and Dashboards
Project and portfolio management is what this tool was designed to do and it does it very well. However, asset management tracking isn't easily done. It would be nice to be able to track applications, assets, resources, etc. all in one place. We use this for document management related to projects, but tracking non-project work for resources is difficult.

Program management work pretty well. Project management for waterfall. It is less appropriate for iterative project methodologies and requires other tools such as Agile Place or a Jira integration.

Planview PPM Pro was implemented as our Enterprise Portfolio Tracking Tool to have a central system for all project data, financials, time tracking, and reporting. It is being used by the PMO to tracking incoming requests and manage project data and financials. Our IT and Business Departments track time to projects in the timesheet management module.
  • New request workflow/kanban board helps visualize where new requests are in the process of the quote to cash/request to completion
  • The time tracking tool is tied directly to project tasks for seamless integration of time tracking, estimates, and actuals
  • The reporting capabilities and ease of use has allowed us visibility to data that we never had before
  • The tool is easily configurable by Administrators. We can add fields, change reports, add new dashboards within hours vs. days of trying to track things manually
Planview PPM Pro (formerly Innotas) is perfect for waterfall or mostly waterfall shops. If you are an agile shop, you need to implement Lean Kit or will not have the agile capabilities. We had success linking VersionOne to Planview PPM Pro (formerly Innotas) through lean kit but it is a lot of maintenance to keep adding fields, and this does not fully support a feature team link to time tracking.

I have been using Planview PPM Pro for the past year in my organization and have been generally satisfied with its performance. One of the things I appreciate most about the software is its ability to centralize all of our project management processes in one place. It has a range of features that make it easy to plan, track, and deliver projects, including project planning, resource management, and project tracking.

One of the standout features of Planview PPM Pro is its ability to help us align our projects with our strategic objectives. The software provides a central platform for organizing and prioritizing projects based on business value, which has helped us ensure that our resources are being allocated to the most important initiatives. Additionally, the reporting and analytics capabilities of the software have been very helpful in tracking the progress of our projects and making informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

Overall, I would recommend Planview PPM Pro to any organization looking for a comprehensive project portfolio management solution. It has proven to be a valuable tool for us in managing our projects and resources, and I believe it could be equally useful for other organizations as well.
  • Aligning projects with strategic objectives
  • Reporting and analytics capabilities, including the ability to generate custom reports and dashboards
  • Integration with other tools like Microsoft Office Suite
Based on my experience, Planview PPM Pro is well suited for organizations that have a large number of projects to manage and are looking for a comprehensive solution to help them plan, track, and deliver those projects successfully. The software's ability to align projects with strategic objectives, track resources, and provide robust reporting and analytics capabilities make it particularly well-suited for organizations that need to manage their projects and resources effectively.

On the other hand, Planview PPM Pro may not be as well-suited for organizations that have a relatively small number of projects and do not require a full-featured project portfolio management solution. The software can be complex and may be overkill for organizations that do not need all of its features.

Additionally, Planview PPM Pro may not be as well-suited for organizations that have very specific project management needs and require a high level of customization. While the software does offer some customization options, it may not be as flexible as some organizations need.
