What is Planview ProjectPlace?
ProjectPlace is the collaborative work management solution from Planview that brings teams together to get work done. Whether a team is down the hall or on the other side of the globe, ProjectPlace aims to provide everything needed to set direction, communicate, execute tasks, track progress, and ultimately achieve goals. A key value proposition is to be one tool designed to work together rather than a collection of point solutions.
The vendor says the the product is built with teams of all size and complexity in mind, from virtual teams of five to entire global enterprises with tens of thousands of active users. ProjectPlace can be started in minutes and scales as new team members join. Since work types vary, ProjectPlace is flexible to fit the job at hand – traditional projects, roadmaps or unstructured work where groups just need to “get stuff done”.

(101-125 of 192)- 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.
Successful pilot run with Planview Projectplace
- Simple management and administration.
- Task management.
- Document management.
- I cannot think of any items that are worth mentioning to be improved.
Best Tool for Ticket Management System
- 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.
Good document management with Projectplace
- Document management and reviewing.
- Project planning.
- Cooperation.
- Cross-project overview and task management.
- Storage.
User for 4 months - Very good impression
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.
Enterprise Architect's perspective
- 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.
Great for Project Management - UI Needs Some Work
- Notifications on Projects and Cards
- SSO Integration
- Website UI Design
- Website UI Consistency
- User Management and UI design
Projectplace is less suited for divisional goals, and a small project involving few moving parts.
ProjectPlace? Project Right!
- 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.
Greatest tool ever!
- 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.
Save time - use Projectplace!
- Document review tracking with version control
- Task and activity management
- Collaborate with internal and external team members on tasks.
- Set up reminders on tasks.
ProjectPlace Review
- 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)
- 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.
- 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.
difficult to use across multiple projects
- 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.
The entire development department is using it (5 persons). We are trying to use it following the Agile methodology, which is not a piece of cake. We have a lot of different projects, most of the time only one person is working on a project. We put all our projects in a single projectplace's plan (as recommended by thier side).
- The availability to provide customer services via a conference call is just fantastic.
- Ability to handle multiple projects which are interacting/blocking each other.
- Handle ticketing support which is linked to board and plan.
- We recently decided to terminate our ProjectPlace account and customer service told us it must be terminated 3 months before billing anniversary date at the latest otherwise a new billing cycle is invoiced.
- For a yearly billing, it is not a great news!
- So, it is definitely not "customer service oriented".
- projectplace is certainly most appropriate for very simple/small projects
- We do have a lot of pain using projectplace with multiple projects, alive at the same time, some of them [are] interacting together
Projectplace
- Card for individual task tracking and assignment are useful for small activities
- Like the homepage as a base summary of all ongoing project assignments
- Gantt chart functionality is limited. The fact that any small change can move the timeline and cannot be "undone" gets frustrating when the incorrect change is accidentally made.
- It would be helpful if the time reporting page automatically saved. There have been several instances where I or others have entered time and forgotten to save, since the software I've previously used did it automatically.
- Being able to assign multiple people to a card would also be helpful. Not necessary, but we have several tasks that get a primary person assigned but involve small input from others, but the tasks themselves aren't large enough to warrant breaking them up into multiple cards.
Less suited to high-level project management. The Gantt functionality is limited and does not include all features commonly seen in software like Projectplace. It would be helpful to have the ability to list cards/subtasks, resources, other information on the Gantt page directly, instead of needing to switch between the Gantt and the board's page to compare activities to the timeline.
First impressions of Projectplace
- It's easy to invite people to take part in projects or share documents without them knowing fully how to use Projectplace.
- Good functionality for conversations between team members. You can easily follow a discussion and you don't need to use email.
- The plan is not very easy to work with. It's too easy to make mistakes when moving activities and sub-activities.
Projectplace, best fit for project management
- storage data and information in a unique location, easy to reach.
- support makes the detailed plan and monitor task status
- remind people to keep tasks done in time
- chat with other members
- open to read files on-line (by browser)
Good application with easy to use features. Limits the use of multiple applications.
- The file management is well thought and eases the process of having shared documents, with clear versionning, and possibilities to lock a document.
- Scheduling an online meeting is easy, with a straightforward process for users connecting to it.
- The online meeting software could have more advanced features (e.g. pausing the screen without impact on other participants).
- It is possible to restrict the folder access to a gourp of users. Still this system is not very flexible (e.g. many steps in order to create a new folder which is accessible to only one group).
- The mobile app has significantly less features than the web interface.
Postive experience of Projectplace from a relatively new user...
- Integrating directly with Microsoft Office platform so that you can carry on using your existing software without change.
- Providing a logical structure by which you can break down tasks and allocate deadlines and responsibilities.
- Instantaneous communication so that documents or changes made can be explained, put in context, queried, or pass on for review.
- Allocation of cards, tasks, and activities to each other could be smoother/more transparent.
- The messaging function requires you to either mark all messages as read or go through them one by one. It would help if when you read a message linked to a particular card that you could indicate that you have read all messages on that card.
Projectplace Review
- Chat and Comments to avoid emails
- Document sharing within a project
- Kanban board
- Have the possibility to have an activity level the projects and retrieve them in the portfolio management
- Possibility to create cards from an email
Difficult to regret trying this collaboration tool
- New user access is easy to set up
- Intuitive interface, user-friendly
- Notification system using @
- Folder navigation (clicking back brings user several folders back)
Projectplace Review
- 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
Project management - smaller repeatable projects - well suited
Project management - larger type projects not as useful
A good collaborative scheduling tool with room for improvement.
- Cards are good, they are easy to create and they are a nice way to break down tasks
- Messaging is good, being able to tag people easily allows for simple communication of progress
- Time reporting is pretty easy, adding tasks from the previous week makes reporting time, which is usually tedious, a little easier
- Preferences could be better to allow for more customization of appearance and usability
- Better predictive behavior: for example suggesting assignees for cards based on frequently used assignees
- The file browser is clunky and makes quick navigation of complex file trees tedious
Good for collaboration; great together with Innotas
We chose Projectplace because it offered multiple needs (planning, document sharing, portfolio view, agile/kanban style planning, time tracking) within a simple-to-learn package. More importantly, we were interested in the integration between Projectplace and Innotas for resource management, project prioritization, and requests.
- Document sharing and automatic versioning of documents as users review and edit documents.
- Boards: Allowing users to "plan their own destiny" and detail out activities they need to complete for each project task. On boards, team members can plan when to work on which activities.
- Planning is weak in Projectplace. The Projectplace plan is essentially an illustration only; there is no critical path determination and activities can start before dependencies are complete. We are building project schedules in MS Project, then importing to Projectplace and manually highlighting the critical path as a 2-step process. Projectplace only offers start-to-finish dependency between tasks, other relationships will be useful.
- No undo button. It's too easy to accidentally change the project plan (duration, or start/end dates) with a mouse click.
- Document edits... Word documents, when opened for editing and with change tracking enabled, do not inherit the audit trail of Word. We cannot tell who made edits or comments to a document because they are all marked with "author".
- In Planning, duration assumes calendar days vs. working days. No ability to override and input holidays or non-working days.
- There is no correlation between cards and plans. If an activity is expected to take 1 day and there are cards that total more than 24 hours of activity, Projectplace does not alert or indicate that an impossible scenario has occurred. The effort estimates vs. actual are simply a tally of information entered. There is no checking or validation of planned vs. actual effort.
Projectplace should not be used as the solo project planning tool for project managers.
