Pactiv Evergreen Review of Planview
- Portfolio Management
- Labor Reporting
- Resource Management
- Reporting (but we are looking forward to Reports 2.0)
- Field level security
Would like to explore the Project Request stage gate process/workflow.
I tend to nerd out on the features and updates
- Organizing projects into a portfolio or category
- The new reporting and dashboard tools is AMAZING
- Drilldowns are great for going into the detail information
- Creating custom fields is useful to help accommodate the variety of needs each department has
- I wish there was a way to add a table matrix, to help populate or pull data for certain fields.
- It does get frustrating or confusing to figure out if I need to go to Resources or User to look over a person's account
- One of our external contacts had a hard time logging into a project, even though we were told it was possible to have that.
- I wish we knew of an upload tool for helping update the resources in PPMPro, since many times people leave, arrive, or change titles
Great Portfolio management
- Reporting on Current, Future, On Hold projects
- Allows for time tracking
- Allows for filtering on projects, resources, organization
- Being able to manage tasks at a more detailed level, and allow key project members to update easily
- Hoping that R2D2 provides for easier set up/maintenance of reports
- Some of the admin functions are not straight forward
PPM Pro, Simply the Best
- The configurability of PPM Pro is the best I have seen in any of the PPM Pro tools I have used in my career. We are able to configure work flows that integrate into multiple PPM processes and integrate or isolate those processes with the others as needed.
- The reporting capability is on par, and in many cases better, than other tools I have used. The ability to combine data elements and perform create unique calculations for reports is the best I have encountered.
- The tools available for resource management are robust and provide great visibility into resource capacity and unfilled demand.
- The integrations with the other tools in the Planview product line allow a full range of planning, management, and team activities in a format that suits the needs of each individual team.
- The base API is not a REST based interface and is difficult to use for integration with other systems in the enterprise.
- The UI for the maintenance of the task schedule for projects can be a bit cumbersome , although the spreadsheet style editor helps somewhat. The Gantt view is not interactive.
- The workflow engine is designed only for initial project intake, and does not allow for an integration of the work flow with the project from start to end, so it can't be used for routing artifacts like change requests, ancillary project approvals, etc.

- Resource allocations.

Planview PPM Pro journey
- Customized reports and dashboards help to easily view projects
- Capacity and demand reports help see staffing needs and if resources are over staffed.
- In depth customer experience helps us build out based on our needs.
- The search feature in Help could be improved sometimes it's difficult to find what I need.
- The permissions can be confusing. Even after training sessions sometimes it is difficult to follow.
- It would be helpful to have a log of reports and filters created. Ours got overwhelming very quickly.
Planview PPM Pro for the Pros
- Allowing highlighting of milestones on an executive status.
- Using reports and dashboards to create an executive view.
- Project schedules online.
- Needs task baselining.
- It is very complex with all its capabilities and could use a way to simplify. For instance, using LeanKit, Pro and ProjecPlace together are not always clear for the best use.
Planview PPM Pro
- Has robust reporting capabilities for transparency into projects and resource management.
- Ability to customize project tasks again for transparency into projects.
- Resource management allows oversight into particular resources and what they are working on.
- Could have more/better reporting capability. That is currently being worked on to be released later this year.
PPM Pro - what it feels like using it for years
- Customization of Reporting and Dashboards
- Time tracking breakdown and visability
- Permission profile setup based on roles and group settings
- Customer Service for training or troubleshooting
- Innovative way to refine current processes
- Sharing new innovations new beta testing and sharing upcoming capabilities through Webinar
- History breakdown for time tracking per timesheet
- Bulk edit custom rates
- Autonomous Time tracking through 3rd party inegration
- API capability for custom setup
- Option to have a training video on any new capability at the new page rather than searching for it though archives
Customization of reports for different department managers and needs
Automating reports for 3rd party vendors through dashboards without providing access to all information
quick access to project budget breakdown and setting up gateway to set up new project
Not so well-suited:
Complete integration with dev platforms like Rally without using a 2nd platform like Tasktop
Running multiple large dashboards with years of data and it slows down the platform itself
Cannot provide detailed breakdown of timesheet tracking when each time in entered
Planview PPM Pro is a great product!
- Project planning and management
- Resource management
- Reporting capabilities
- Time Tracking for resources
- Highlights milestones for reporting to senior management
- Dashboards
- Creation of reports.
- Dashboards. Creating dashboards should not be as complex as it currently is.
- Permissions. The current way permissions are set up is also very complex and really does not need to be.
- Task baselining
Project Management made easy.
- First and foremost, the technical support has always been top notch.
- We rely heavily on the integrations team and they provide great service.
- Self-Service Admin really takes the product to a new level.
- Great communication of product release features and roadmapping.
- Dependent field logic would be a nice add and I know it's on their roadmap for 2021!
- Ability to customize email notifications within the core product could be more robust.
We also just started expanding the use of Requests to manage work flow. The ability to establish different gates with different conditions and settings at each gate is terrific.
Planview Review
- Data visualization
- Ability to integrate with other existing systems (e.g. Kronos for timekeeping)
- Ability to customize reports
- Faster response time with tickets
We are keeping it!
- Scheduling
- Custom integrations
- Time sheets and approval
- Assigning resources to a task (they are currently working on a new feature to assist)
Overall a great product - Planview PPM Pro
LeanKit is used across the organization for individuals, teams and departments, some departments are a bit more agile-like but not formally used.
Projectplace is our least used application but has a number of different uses that would be good to roll out over the next year.
The suite allows users the option of which tool best fits their needs in the project management space and we are looking forward to the Phase 2 LeanKit/PPM Pro integration to use the suite more fully.
- High Level of Customer Service across the organization. Our organization is treated by Planview as a valued partner. Individuals at Planview go the extra mile to answer questions, assist with support tickets, assist with integration needs and more.
- The success.planview.com website is a great resource and kept updated. The help guides, videos and search function allow individuals to answer their own questions - is definitely preferred by our busy employees.
- The suite of products allows many strategic benefits across the organization in the portfolio and project management space.
- Reports are a bit quirky given the different targets (organization, portfolios, projects, resources, etc.) and the different categories. For example when you want to combine different types of data in the same report and or filter it doesn't always work the first time. Additionally if you create a report at an organization level and want the same report at the project level - sometimes it doesn't work as one would expect it to.
- Working within the task grid is slower than other tools and has some quirks. It has been very frustrating for users that put in their tasks and dates and then change the constraint type and all dates are then adjusted. The task grid could be a bit more user friendly.
- Within PPM Pro, sometimes there is so much configurability that it takes time to do simple tasks and sometimes there is not enough configurability. Overall it just takes a bit of time to know which features have what options.
- Adding actual time within tasks is not as user friendly as some other tools. It requires either each individual to enter their time on tasks or to use a time integration.
PPM Pro is well-suited to scenarios where Organization wide (Department/Portfolio) KPI's and metrics are desired. The product allows for much customization within the various features, such as having many different project categories, portfolios, resource views, financial summaries, etc.
It takes a general user a bit more time than some other project management software programs to become proficient. So I would not recommend PPM Pro to colleagues that need just a few users to handle general project management.
