We use Apptio Targetprocess to manage all of our internal operations and client deliverables, reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. It has replaced several single-purpose applications across a range of functions in our organization. Everyone from Accounts Receivable, to Marketing, and the Executive team are onboarded and it is part of their daily workflow.

We Use Targetprocess as our System of Record for all the work that our Product Development and Operations Teams. With integration options that Targetprocess provides in our case its with the Azure DevOps, it is very easy to interact between the two applications and keep track of all the items. The best part about Targetprocess is you do not have to navigate between two application (Jira and Jira Align) for things like Program Board.

Asset Management: My past companies have significant investments in equipment and infrastructure, such as drilling rigs, pipelines, and refineries. Apptio Targetprocess is used to manage and optimize these assets by providing tools for asset tracking, maintenance, and utilization. It helps the project managers to identify underutilized assets, track maintenance schedules, and optimize asset performance.

It is utilized to capture work and measure output for our Agile teams across the organization. We reference the program to ensure the divisional partners are receiving what they need while balancing the delivery of their requests.

We use Apptio Targetprocess for all of our agile teams as well as multiple teams who have seen the tool and have asked to track their work in it also. We use Apptio Targetprocess as our source of truth for all our IT work. All IT related initiatives or epics are kept and updated here for us to provide transparency to the IT leadership group about the current state, trials, and tribulations, etc. We have employees around the globe using the tool. Apptio Targetprocess helps provide transparency to the work around the globe and allows our global team members to work better together. Prior to implementing Apptio Targetprocess, we had worked in so many different places and applications. This tool has made a huge difference in allowing everyone to understand the work that is in progress and what still to be done; having one place to go to see everyone's work has made a big difference to our team members and stakeholders alike.

We use TargetProcess across our entire organization. We currently use it for requirements and bug tracking but are starting to expand into marketing requirements and the help desk. We will soon be tying it into a CRM and will use it for our entire product life cycle. More than anything we were looking for a tool that does almost everything and this fits the bill.

TargetProcess is the tool we use to organize and track our work. We work in a highly Agile environment and TargetProcess supports our workflow very well. Particular strengths of TargetProcess are:

  • that it is highly customizable so individuals can build views that give them the information that they want,
  • the rapid development of new features by the team,
  • the responsiveness of the support team.
However, the ability to customize views does come with a learning curve and it helps to have someone providing some standard views so that the team can always use these to have a shared understanding of the project's work.

TargetProcess is a wonderful product which is frequently used by the whole organization. Powerful visualization of my workflow is no more than a blessing because it allows me to have a perfect distraction-free overview of my projects. Moreover, the ability of this software to drill down or scale-up is quite astonishing in order to get details from each and every level of the hierarchy in just a few minutes. Moreover, the timeline feature is making my activities and time tracking abilities more enhanced and effective as well.
