A great tool for project management and team collaboration
We are using Projectplace as a platform for project management (development of large rad infrastructure) and general support for collaboration within our organization. It is used by 80+ project managers and 800+ employees and dozens of teams in 30+ locations.
- Collaboration.
- Project management.
- Document management.
- Large organizations.
The current implementation of some features (team working and dependencies between Kanban boards) isn't compatible with a safe and controlled collaboration between internal and external stakeholders. It really limits a broad implementation at the moment.

Gantt chart feature is awesome
Projectplace is a great tool for team collaboration. First we tried to use the tool within one department to see how it works. For other departments we used another tool. Now we are integrating Projectplace in the other departments as well as for communication and collaboration between our multiple offices, because we like how it works.
- Gantt chart functionality is awesome.
- Very user friendly.
- Pricing options are not flexible.
- Reports are not as visual as I'd like them to be.
We use Projectplace more for internal collaboration currently, but plan to extend it for external use as well to improve productiveness of our communication with partners and customers.

ProjectPlace is the bee's knees, my dudes!
We use it as a Project Management tool to supplement our existing team of project managers. While we used to use it to track hours, currently it's only being used as a place to store creative briefs and the documents the creative team produces to execute on those briefs. It is an integral part of the creative process.
- It allows easy sharing of documents.
- Has a robust commenting system.
- I enjoy that it has a Scrum board.
- It's a little difficult to follow some conversations. The threading could be better.
- Downloading documents isn't intuitive
ProjectPlace has been totally integral to collaboration in that it eliminates the need to go hunting for files or conversations in Outlook. It's a centralized place for creative briefs, PDFs, documents and feedback. I can't imagine trying to get work done without it.
Projectplace is used across the IT department for plan and control projects through Gantt charts. Notes added by Project Owners is spread out across all team members through useful notifications. POs also store some ideas before grooming for new features.
- Gantt chart is very usuful and easy to use
- Control and communications
- Data storage
- Undo functionality is missed
- The mobile has limited features than WEB
It helps to facilitate points internally. We don't use it with outside stakeholders.

Projectplace is a very useful tool that fosters collaboration among teams around the world.
We are using Projectplace as a coordination and management tool among the different partners of a European project, both from industry and academia. Here, at Instituto de Telecomunicações, Projectplace is being by our group only in the context of this international project, and we only use English as the official language.
- A set of different tools to manage meetings, documents, members, Gantt charts, etc. all integrated into the same framework.
- Document version control.
- Desktop application to locally store and update files.
- A meeting platform functionality, such as GoToMeeting or Skype for Business, would be very valuable.
- The possibility to integrate with other platforms, like software development tools or repositories (GitLab), would be nice.
- Maybe a collaboration hub similar to Slack would be useful.
Projectplace is very nice to facilitate collaboration, especially with stakeholders outside our organization, such as international partners. It eases the task of communicating, sharing documentation, and coordinating and managing the entire project, allowing us to be more productive, enrolled with each others' work, and to more closely follow the track of all ongoing tasks and activities.

Great collaborative tool to improve efficiency.
Projectplace is being used by my team and other colleges in my department and company to organise and manage a European project - 5G Mobix. In the context of this European project, teams from all around Europe participate and the main language used is English.
- Organize meetings and chats.
- Edit files and documents cooperatively.
- Document storage and organization
- Operating systems compatibility
- Support for more browsers
- Offline cache
It is easy to manage who has access and permissions to a specific resource.

Successful pilot run with Planview Projectplace
We used it in a test run scenario in numerous office locations spanning multiple countries. The business problems we needed to resolve were mainly communication issues caused by e-mail (hard to track, team members missing in threads etc.). We were looking for a single channel for project team communication, combining with PPM Pro and on-prem instances of Jira.
- Simple management and administration.
- Task management.
- Document management.
- I cannot think of any items that are worth mentioning to be improved.
So far the pilot has shown us great potential. Due to our available time set aside for the pilot, we are not fully aware of all the possibilities ahead of us, but what was seen is very, very promising. The next step is to include external members of the project team, including subcontractors and customers.

My favorite tool to control my business area
It's a tool we are evaluating in the department. It addresses the full view of ongoing projects across business areas and resource availability. The product is used in other parts of the company at different levels. We use only the Swedish language but our company has multiple European sites.
- Planning
- Task allocation
- Portfolio management
- Project status report, one pager sort with stats.
- The excel export of the plan is really ugly looking and often contains more information than needed.
I have collaborated with distributed teams before but I am not doing that in this particular organization.
Used for cooperation with outside consultants. It's used companywide at a single location, in both Dutch and English.
- Document management, managing different versions, and there's no more emailing documents.
- Task management through cards.
- Overview of tasks on different projects.
- Notification management, there's no need for standard emails when someone likes a comment.
Excellent
We are in the process of configuring and implementing Planview Enterprise One, and Projectplace is being used as the main project management tool for this project. We are still in a learning curve, and the tool is being used now with a few users in multi-countries, but it has brought us some interesting new concepts and productivity. Once Enterprise One is implemented, the idea is to have them both linked and syncing so that Projectplace can be used for agile projects and also project document storage, as well as a preferred communication tool.
- It shows the tasks in a time schedule view, allowing the user to switch between the agile interface of cards and an overview of the tasks and its correlations.
- The possibility of having a dedicated document storage area with easy access gives a friendly way of finding what you need.
- The mobile app is a good tool and an easy way to get on track with your projects.
- Importing cards to the board could be simpler and easier, like copy and paste.
- The name of the columns could be customized, allowing more flexibility to the organization of the board.
- Additional information for the cards such as cost (money) would be desirable.
It helps the project managers and stakeholders to track all tasks, as well as to communicate easily within the group. We still want to explore all the possibilities when using the tool together with Enterprise One, as it's an interesting integration.

Best Tool for Ticket Management System
We are extensively a use-project place to manage tickets system. We strictly follow this to resolve whatever issues customers have faced. The customer creates cards, and according to skills or competency, it then gets assigned to a particular engineer so it becomes easy to track the tickets according to the status. We can move it to parked, testable, working on, or verified. We can also make any comments on the card.
- UI is very user-friendly and easy to make groups by options according to the status of a card.
- We can have the option to follow the cards so that if any action is done, by any user on that card, we can get updates.
- For a Project Manager, it becomes easy to track the status of cards.
- User must have the option to see the reports according to action he took on any particular card.
- Reporting needs to be detailed so that we know which action should be taken on which card and by whom.
Any user with an email id can have an account on Projectplace so it becomes very easy to have everyone on the boat so they can communicate easily and sync with each other.

Good document management with Projectplace
Currently, one department is using Projectplace -- the department for Efficiency Audit. We use it as a project tool for projects we have in various municipalities, but only use it internally as a cooperation tool, and for reviewing reports etc. We are mainly situated in one office and one country, but also do some work at our client's locations and our home office.
- Document management and reviewing.
- Project planning.
- Cooperation.
- Cross-project overview and task management.
- Storage.
Projectplace helps communication internally in the team, as well as in documenting our work. We have not used it in collaborating with external stakeholders (clients), but this is a possible scenario.
We are a single company using the product, but our team is all over the United States. We currently use Projectplace to manage the workflow of our publications across the editorial and the design departments. The cards and boards in Projectplace help us stay organized, on track, and gives us a great visual to see where each department and feature stands throughout the production process. The ability to assign cards to different users, leave notes, and start brainstorming conversations in each workspace is extremely beneficial and no other project management interface compares to that visual organizational aspect.
- The boards are great for organizational purposes- and the visual aspect and drag and drop functionality is easy and efficient.
- Creating different workspaces within our organization is a huge benefit of using Projectplace since we are a two-sided company (publishing and marketing/branding).
- The card system is brilliant and makes moving along magazine elements from editorial to design departments flawless.
- Some of the different views/stats seem a little cumbersome and overcrowd the dash
- In a recent update the ability to drag and reorganize cards in the My Overview setting went away. The Group by dropdown is helpful, but I wish I was still able to rearrange the cards within each workspace/due date/etc.
- With how I use Projectplace there aren't really a lot of cons!
With my company, the collaboration happening within Projectplace is strictly inside-team only. But being able to manage tasks between our departments has made our communication and collaboration efforts effective and strong. Being a fully remote company, I don't think we would be able to thrive as much as we do with Projectplace.
We are using Planview Projectplace as a file sharing and collaboration site. It helps us share information between companies in on place. It is designed to be used for our project team and the customer. To my knowledge, the only language being used is English.
- Planview provides many different ways to share information.
- Planview is customizable to the project.
- Planview is easy to use.
- Plan view allows any type of naming convention allowing for everyone to upload things This can cause disorganization.
- It can be difficult to find things if the plan rooms have all been set up in different spots.
I'm actually a contractor for Planview Projectplace in addition to my full-time role at Amazing.com. The main business problem Projectplace addresses on the marketing and content teams is version control. You know the document in Projectplace is the most updated one. It is being used by the whole organization, even though my main function with it currently is the marketing team. Multiple countries and locations are involved and English is the language that is mainly being used to communicate.
- I really the like version control aspect
- There are a lot of document storage capabilities in an order that flows and makes sense
- Love the flow of the Kanban board set up
- Sometimes when you look at the Kanban board set up, it almost appears too busy, compared to competitor products like Basecamp
- I've had issues in the past where when I add a new document it replaces an old one with it instead of keeping the old and the new files.
With its email integration, Projectplace makes it easy to collaborate with people on your team internally and externally.
Projectplace is a good application to manage resources that are involved in multiple projects. It allows for clear tracking of information requests, files shared and defect management.
- Assigning tasks to resources across multiple projects
- Upload, review and share files for multiple projects and across organisational boundaries - a one-stop solution
- Issue functionality is cumbersome to use, not always easy to filter for open issues or use multiple filters.
Projectplace works well in a multi-stakeholder environment where companies need to collaborate on a project - setup of users was easy and allow sharing of tasks and files across company/ country boundaries.

Enterprise Architect's perspective
It is being used by the PMO and contributing members. As it's leveraged by the PMO, multiple participating teams are leveraging it, but it's still in it's infancy.
- Boards view is fantastic for contributors to create, assign, and track tasks.
- My Work view is good for at-a-glance information but could use some work.
- Dependencies for board items are a bit unclear. I have completed tasks in the My Work view that show as overdue, presumably because other portions of the tool aren't configured or scheduled appropriately. Dependencies could and should drive do this then that type activities, but there doesn't appear to be any direct workflow or linkage between them other than at a superficial level.
- File collaboration requiring an agent is cumbersome. Why isn't there integration to Sharepoint or another more seamless document repository? This platform creates another competing source of truth for documents which is a problem.
- I believe the reporting interface could be improved - our PMO is currently experimenting with yet another solution to create better at a glance reports from a burndown perspective. Planview has all the raw data so this is re-work.
Definitely use embedded comments and tags to bring items to people's attention.
It is used by several departments in multiple locations. I've only seen it in English.
- Copy Kanbans in Kanbanboard.
- Is great to Forward an email and Kanban automatically appears.
- There is a lot I can add to each, emails, charts, images, documents, check lists and comments.
- Is a great way to capture my time work, and specify each activity.
- I would like to delete Kanbans, alternatively I edit them with another info.
- In time sheets I can copy all activities from last week, but It would be great to choose which ones when I need to copy and/or delete some of them. A delete option is specially needed when adding activities, I often choose a wrong one.
It helps to communicate with my team and organize my time and which activity must be done more urgently than another.
We use ProjectPlace across our enterprise in English only. Good project management software.
- Organizing plans
- Detailed timeline
- Communication Options (Weekly, daily, etc)
- Copying multiple cards at once and pasting them to a different area
- Combining multiple templates
- Better web conferencing tool
- Calendar tool (have cards update on calendar when edits are made in ProjectPlace)
It has leveraged our communication with internal and external stakeholders via the various communication tools.

ProjectPlace? Project Right!
We use ProjectPlace in two main ways. First, we manage our software development process with internal users. Our PM puts the big picture stories in ProjectPlace and then moves them through until their done. Users can see and comment, label, and move cards around to help us prioritize work for the development team. Secondly, we use it to manage a variety of data collection processes. Cards are assigned to people from various departments over a monthly process as each person completes their work.
- Labels, Dependencies, Checklists are really awesome aspects of each card that let you customize the work appropriately for the task at hand. The way the unused features are hidden allows each card to really fit the work and not become overly complicated.
- Using swim lanes to lay out the cards allows us to use one board where other tools would make us use multiple ones. We can lay them out by label, or assignment, depending on the project or task at hand.
- The labeling could use some work. I'd like to be able to change the order, add more colors or styles to the labels.
- The reporting could use some work. I'd like to be able to download the raw data over time, so I can get a better sense of how things are moving. The charts are good but hard to dive into without being able to see the backing data.
We only use ProjectPlace internally. We find it odd that you don't have an organizational view - you can't manage a bunch of accounts that you created, you can only kick them out of projects you own. To remove people from ProjectPlace, I have to log in as them and cancel my account, which is weird. I should just be able to turn off accounts for "my" domain. For example, Joe comes to work for me at ABC and receives the email account joe@abc.com. I invite him to ProjectPlace. Joe works for a few years and then leaves. There is nowhere that I can go in and remove the "joe@abc.com" account from ProjectPlace because ProjectPlace assumes that it is a personal account, not a business account. To get around this, I have to reset his password, log into his "joe@abc.com" email account, then log in to ProjectPlace as joe@abc.com, and then self-destruct the account. Really?

User for 4 months - Very good impression
Projectplace is used across the whole organization to plan & control projects having team members in different countries/time zones.
It allows us to assign actions, track their statuses, exchange messages visible to all team members, store data & information and make quick reports on the actual status/pending actions...Also financial information on the benefits of the projects are tracked.
It allows us to assign actions, track their statuses, exchange messages visible to all team members, store data & information and make quick reports on the actual status/pending actions...Also financial information on the benefits of the projects are tracked.
- Send reminders / advice for tasks assiged to be completed.
- Quickly extract easy summary of information.
- Easy share of data / info.
- The board structure can become complicated - it would be nice to view the same action / card on multiple boards.
- The gantt chart of the plan is difficult to see.
Used internally only (team members & stakeholders within the organization) - very effective for collaboration (exchange information / data / assign tasks).

Great for Project Management - UI Needs Some Work
Projectplace is being used to organize IT projects, along with its ability to notify users on notes added by the project manager, or manager of the project. It is also used to shelve ideas about upcoming projects, and to ensure that those projects are organized.
- Notifications on Projects and Cards
- SSO Integration
- Website UI Design
- Website UI Consistency
- User Management and UI design

Save time - use Projectplace!
I use ProjectPlace for several project life cycle elements - primarily document review and repository including version control, and tasks and activity tracking using Boards.
- Document review tracking with version control
- Task and activity management
- Collaborate with internal and external team members on tasks.
- Set up reminders on tasks.
Using the Boards to track tasks and activities is a great feature.

difficult to use across multiple projects
Projectplace is being used to track projects, activities, boards, and development of specific features and bug fixes. We also are using it for time tracking and upper management is using it for strategic planning.
- We can write cards quickly.
- We can update cards quickly.
- We can move cards quickly.
- The individual dashboard sucks and basically makes this tool so painful that I would not recommend it for the line employee.
- I work on several projects and there is one dashboard "My overview" that can't be modified. All I get is a list of cards on the right in some random orders from the eight or so project boards in one long list. You MUST implement some "cascading" dashboard that shows a hierarchy of Project > Activity > Board > Card > Status with configurable fields shown, where sections can be collapsed when focusing on one area.
- The ID for cards can be the same as the ID of a different card on another board. If you move a card to another board the ID changes.
We are just starting to use the documents and links features. It is ok, but really offers no benefit that I see over a wiki or even Google Drive.
Projectplace was implemented this year to support project management of promotional display projects. At Bayer, we have a very seasonal portfolio and the volume of annual projects we have to support Promotional display activity and importance drove us to a solution to support that. Although we are still in a learning curve and have ideas of improving how we use Projectplace in the future I'm happy to say it has added value and provided efficiencies in managing the volume of projects we have. The tool is used across multi-disciplined areas within the Consumer Health division at Bayer Canada (English) and other divisions within Bayer are looking at it.
- Web-based platform easy to use - mobile app is great
- User feedback to improve Project place and monthly updates is a strength
- Central repository for internal and external team members is very helpful
- Reporting and Dashboarding - Initial presentation of the solution had us believing reporting / dashboarding was all set up ready to go when in fact it needs to be set up by the user.
- Training documentation mainly all video and online - helpful but challenging for users that prefer manual type instruction
instant messaging function is great for collaborative team work internal and externally
