Product Details

What is Planview ProjectPlace?

ProjectPlace is a 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 product can support teams of all size and complexity, 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”.

Good document management with Projectplace

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • Document management and reviewing.
  • Project planning.
  • Cooperation.
Cons
  • Cross-project overview and task management.
  • Storage.
Likelihood to Recommend
Projectplace is good for working on, and following up on, projects, both for myself and as a team. I find it less suited for day-to-day follow up on specific tasks. It's missing the possibility for filtering tasks by labels, specific projects etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Planview Projectplace to address and track our progress on marketing projects that we have going on. Documents being uploaded to Planview will show in a new to old order, so this ensures that when we're viewing documents, we know we are looking at the latest and greatest. Also, when looking at the progress of our work, we're able to see where we're at in the process.
Pros
  • Document storage.
  • Assigning action items.
  • Sharing & collaboration.
Cons
  • Reports & dashboards can be better.
  • Updating cards takes time.
  • Exporting features.
Likelihood to Recommend
Planview Projectplace is better suited for a large project team where there needs to be communication amongst the different personnel in the project team. If multiple documents need to be looked at for approval, this software is suited for that. It is very good to track progress and stay on top of tasks. Sometimes, when forecasting how long certain things take, it can be a little difficult.

Projectplace: Lots to like for the right projects

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our Professional and Managed Services department uses Projectplace in two phases of our business timeline:
  • Preparing large, complex commercial proposals
  • Delivering projects
With Projectplace we can share documents and related project information with customers and suppliers as easily as with our own teams. The access rules mean we can easily control who sees what.
Pros
  • Document management: The structure and up/download approach is straightforward. The level of control over access is useful and powerful.
  • Messaging/communication: Being able to send messages to individuals or groups, associated with a workspace, or with direct links to a document folder or even a single file is very convenient and flexible.
  • Kanban boards: This relatively new replacement for the Tasks tool has taken our team some time to get used to, but one of its virtues is the visual model of seeing the status of everyone's jobs/tasks.
Cons
  • Risk management: The Issues tool inside Projectplace just isn't sufficient to record and track project risks. Risk management is a key aspect of project management, so it's surprising that Projectplace have never incorporated such a facility.
  • Project closedown/archiving: The facilities to move a whole project from Projectplace once it has completed, are weak. There should be a way to package up the important information and documents and download them in once go, rather than with many separate actions.
  • Account administration: The tools provide to account administrators are limited. It would be valuable to be able to report on different aspects of how Projectplace is being used, by workspace/group/etc over time.
  • Planning: The plan tool is fairly simplistic. Its tasks hook into boards and cards, but it's a closed Projectplace environment. PMs who prefer to maintain their plan using MS Project have only an import option.
  • Mobile apps: The Android app provides a poor experience compared with the web interface. I can't vouch for the iOS app (but I suspect it's better!)
Likelihood to Recommend
It's good if you want to run projects with disparate team members, inside and outside your organisation. Choose projects which will benefit from Projectplace's strengths: document management, task management and messaging. Look for other or complementary solutions if you have a very large, complex project or you need to manage resources.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Projectplace to allow collaboration between various sites of our organization and external partners. The sharing of documents with version control is very important. The review and sharing of documents can be easily arranged from the document meta data. We also use the board cards for teams or individuals. More and more persons are involved and also more projects are added.
Pros
  • Board cards for different boards online.
  • Update documents with version control and sharing them for review.
  • Conversations to share announcements to all members.
Cons
  • At documents overview the column width should be adjustable and some fields selectable.
  • On documents the method of Open, Save and Open & Lock works differently on various explorers. Makes instructions to new users difficult.
  • We would like to have the document version number available in a Word document. Manual synchronization is not working.
Likelihood to Recommend
Projectplace is well suited for collaboration between multiple groups or organizations in various locations sharing documents to work on. It is also well suited to have scrum boards for various groups or even individuals.

Good for collaboration; great together with Innotas

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We're using Projectplace to collaborate between multifunctional product development teams. The teams are all collocated in the US, so English is the language used.

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.
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Projectplace is well suited to be used by a project team for collaboration and project tracking after a plan has been created. A plan can be created in MS Project, with critical path/critical chain analysis conducted, then imported to Projectplace and translated to boards and cards.

Projectplace should not be used as the solo project planning tool for project managers.
