The City of Tacoma has two seperate instances of Innotas. One is being utilized by the centralized IT Department's Business Solutions team to manage it's portfolio of SAP, Web and Information Services projects for all City of Tacoma departments. Tacoma Public Utilities Project Management team also recently implemented an instance in an effor to improve scheduling and tracking of all utility technology projects. Along with the basics of the project approval and scheduling process, there is a large focus on resource planning, time tracking and KPI reporting.
Some of the main organiational pain points being addressed by this tool include:
1) A distinct project approval and prioritization path based on a clearly defined methodology and criteria.
2) A clear picture of resource allocation and capacity.
3) Tracking estimates vs actuals and monitoring commitments to ensure service level agreements are being met.
4) Gaining a factual representation of actual work being delivered to each customer.

- Incredible tool for the integration of project, portfolio and asset management.
- Talented, professional and service oriented support staff.
- Always focused on technological advancement and product improvement.
- Needs simplification of reporting capabilities.
- During implementation, needs to improve upon understanding the customer base and their processes so that the customer can be guided how to get the best utlization of the program for their needs. Continual hands-on support and review of the customer's system could be helpful as new capabilities are implemented.
- Could use a slicker look and feel to the resource capacity planning process/screens.
- Transparent project portfolio management
- Improved resource management
- More reliable project reporting

Absolutely! Solutions for issues we record are almost always communicated or fully resolved in a timely fashion.
Many times in the past I have been on the phone with someone who didn't initially understand the issue we were having or desired change. Or in some cases, I didn't understand the solution they were suggesting. In each case, the support agent was patient and took the necessary time to ask questions and ensure mutual understanding.

Innotas helped expose the breadth of our portfolio and reduce resource over-utilization
Innotas was used by our Project Management Department for portfolio and resource management across the creative portions our organization. It helped us get a grip on the quantity and variety of projects we were undertaking, as well as which resources were committed to which projects. It gave upper level management insight into how their creative workforce was being utilized. Shining a light on that data helped the company to have more confidence in the status of projects, and plan the future direction of projects and resources more effectively. It also helped expose where resources were over-committed, particularly when managers and salespeople were manipulating software developers into doing work for their pet projects under-the-radar.
- Gives insight to the breadth of your project portfolio. When everybody has their wishlist of what they want done, Innotas shows what is being achieved, and by whom. That is crucial data for management.
- Exposes resource over-utilization. When a developer is committed to more than one project, it drags down both. Every additional project reduces a developer's productivity.
- Provides visibility to the project timelines. Management doesn't just want their wishlist completed, they need to know how long it will take. Innotas helps provide the high-level view they need to control the flow.
- The details of projects, resources and time can be tedious to manage. Innotas does not alleviate the tedium. An intuitive interface for manipulating projects and resources that breaks out of the MS Project mold would go far to make it a better management tool.
- Increased efficiency in resource utilization
- Increased productivity and morale from employees being spread over fewer projects at a time
- Increased confidence in understanding of the portfolio from management

Innotas is used exclusively by the Project Management Department. Its data and reports, however, are communicated to upper level management across the organization.

Innotas is used and supported by the Director of Project Management and people under her/him. It requires a lot of data gathering and some diplomacy to get insight into all the projects across the enterprise. The actual input and management of that data was handled by me, with assistance from a Project Coordinator, and support from the Director.
- We needed to understand the breadth of our portfolio so that we could track our progress against management's wishlists.
- We needed to understand how our workforce was being utilized so that we could identify where our inefficiencies from overuse or underuse were.
- We needed to understand what our high level project timelines looked like so that we could set expectations and plan accordingly.
- We used Innotas in tandem with an Agile project management tool. Innotas allowed us to get the high-level, structured view of the projects, while the Agile tool helped us coordinate our efforts in Scrum.
- As the Project Management Department expands the aspects that it is able to monitor and control, more of Innotas can be integrated to give the insight into those functions we will need.
Yes
In a high-volume, creative shop like ours, premium support is always a benefit. We can't afford to have our tools slow us down, and there are often efficiencies that we need additional support for.

Innotas was solely used by Information Management to manage its entire portfolio of projects. The PMs maintained the work plans inside of the tool. All staff recorded their time in Innotas. Managed conducted resource management using the tool.
- Great tool for capturing and maintaining meta data about project.
- Single source for all projects managed by Information Management.
- Strong support staff was available during the implementation and ongoing support.
- Needs better integration of project financials with 3rd party systems
- Needs more improvement on resource management.
- Transparent project portfolio management
- Improved resource management
- More reliable project reporting

Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
We were already using MS Project Server so it wasn't a big change for us to make the switch. In fact, it was an easy change.
- PM struggled with making the switch from MS Project to the Innotas Work Plan

- Self-taught
No, you definitely need a warm body to conduct the training. My training was conducted on line.
