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”.

  • Easy to implement.
  • Easy to train.
  • Easy to use.
  • Streamlined document management linkage to SharePoint online
  • Out of the box reporting
Suited for 'accidental project manager' where high level project management training is limited.

Not appropriate for full financial tracking of the project expenses.
  • Ease of use
  • Integration to Power BI for reporting

It was being used by the design department for everyday work. Their projects were being done slowly, so they hired a project manager, who preferred to use Planview Projectplace. We have been supporting the product and assigning licenses. Only English is the language for the software, and it is being used only in one location.

The main problem it has been addressing is the communication between team members and work prioritization. Instead of the work being sent to them by email, they are now planning the most important tasks ahead.
  • Demand management
  • Reporting
  • Security
  • User management
  • Reporting
  • Integrations (with Salesforce)
  • Program/portfolio management
  • Ticketing
  • Fewer complaints
  • Quicker turnaround time
  • Project collaboration
  • Work prioritization
  • Time distribution
It is best suited for smaller teams that want to organize their work into projects. I now realize why the new project manager for the team chose this software over others. It allows for collaboration and work prioritization. Time management has improved significantly, and its UI is quite easy to understand for the users that don't spend a lot of time on software. Training new users in the team is also quite easy, and it gets coworkers out of their emails to focus on projects.

For teams that need to deliver projects urgently because of current events, the software works especially well. It allows concentration on a specific topic as well as teamwork, where many different individuals need to contribute in a short period of time.

I haven't needed to get in touch with support because the product is quite well structured and understandable. There were no issues initially when making payments or later for monthly payments. The project manager using the software is quite skilled in the software and has not needed much help. New licenses are easy to acquire, and there is no delay in getting them. I know there are several ways of support available, so that's a plus.
It is being actively used, and as far as I know, it was managing ten projects at the same time successfully. Boards are helpful for communication about particular tasks, and prioritization allows flexibility when it comes to actually accomplishing them. Web-based functionality also makes it significantly easier to manage from an admin perspective, whereas for other products, we'd see new versions being loaded. Data is secure in the software, and closing the project seems to be easier.
It offers a simpler alternative that's easier to manage by the less tech-savvy people. I also think that Planview Projectplace has managed to keep the product updated compared to other project management tools. Miro is perhaps the one that comes to mind, but while evaluating, we saw fewer issues with Planview Projectplace. Overall, the decision came down to the project manager, that had previous experience and recommended the product.

For me, using a product from a smaller company is better because I know that there will be a focus on improving it, unlike, for example, Microsoft products that can be discontinued at any moment.
No
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Prior experience was the most important for the decision because the project manager had used the product before. However, it also lined up well against the alternatives we had been considering. Overall, the project manager felt that Planview Projectplace would be the right tool for the team to get back on track with their efficiency, and it has worked out as expected.
If it were up to me to decide, I'd ask for demos of the products. For this software, we did not really need the training for the team, as the learning curve was quite quick. However, I'd consider we were lucky with regards to this, and I'd rather receive a full demo and training promise from the vendor.
No, because we never felt like we needed it. The team was confident in the use of software, and all we really need to reach out to the company is the additional licenses.
No
No, I have not had a lot of interaction with the support.

The Marketing team used Planview Projectplace to plan and manage integrated marketing programs. It allows us to collaborate in one, shared place, with teams around the company including sales, demand generation and customer success. With Planview Projectplace it is possible to see the status of all the activities and projects at any time. The tool enables real-time collaboration with material sharing, comments, mentions and updates.

The tool is well suited for fast activities tracking, allowing the company to save time for project management and related deliverables. Planview Projectplace [enables a] shift from disorganized notes to a centralized platform where it's possible to keep track of global projects and easily and quickly share them with international teams.

I value Planview Projectplace at 7/10 since its support is complete and quickly available. The support touchpoints include Email/Help Desk, FAQs/Forum, Knowledge Base, Phone Support and Chat. My experience with learning how to use the tool and then actively perform on the platform as a user [is that] it's efficient and positive.
I value Planview Projectplace at 8/10 since it supports, improves and simplifies the ability to document, manage and track each part of the company's projects. It assures easiness to navigate and it allows non-Project Managers and non-technical people to easily use the tool and it features. Additionally, the tool is mobile responsive.
Compared to other collaboration tools, Planview Projectplace helps reduce [the amount of] emails and meetings since it allows us to directly collaborate within the tool. It assures visibility across teams, plus document management is very valuable. The review process is simplified and flexible. The only pain point compared to other providers is that the payment of the license is yearly instead of monthly.
No
  • Product Usability
The company needed a useful platform to manage multiple projects in one place, allowing teamwork and seamless information sharing. Planview Projectplace's usability allowed us to [ensure that] all the mentioned and requested features [function] smoothly.
If I had to do the evaluation and selection process again, I wouldn't change [anything] I did since the tool completely met the expectations.

Presently we are using ProjectPlace to manage our most strategic initiative along with exploring for day to day project use. We have also begun to look at the platform for idea management in addition to product management.
  • Communications
  • Easy to use
  • Priced Right
  • Dates being in EU format
  • Report outputs
  • Reduced meeting times
  • Ability to scale faster
  • Better Communications
Not likely the best tool for enterprise organizations looking for a full PPM system

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!
  • Unfortunately I don't have any access to numbers or ROI stats, but the ease of day to day work with Projectplace is truly priceless.
It is well suited for inter-department communication and organization. Whether for handing off pieces of a project (in my company's case magazine departments/features from editorial to design) or seeing the full scope of what is at which stage (using the bards).

The organizational structure (cards/boards), user interface (drag/drop/assigning tasks), and visual appeal of Projectplace are all major benefits. There is still a lot for my company/I to learn and utilize with Project Place, but I have heard from other users who have used Projectplace and then switched to other products say that the boards are definitely missed and are a huge asset to using Projectplace.

I have loved using Projectplace the last few years, however with recent budget issues, we likely need to cut costs in this area, and Projectplace is on the higher price point for project management platforms. There are also a lot of features in Projectplace that our team doesn't utilize/doesn't apply to our workflow needs.
