Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mainly, it is important to note that we use Planview Projectplace to manage the large volume of projects that are supplied every day in our company. Planview Projectplace is not being used by a single team in our company, we are currently using it in all sectors of the company, as a default platform for the administration and management of short and long-term projects.

Our company is located in a single location, in Mexico, so the Projectplace platform is being used by our employees at our Mexico branch. The languages that are being used by me and my colleagues within our company are English and Spanish, since in our company there are also employees who usually speak English. We are very happy with the effectiveness that Projectplace has given us since it belongs to our company, we have been able to manage large-scale projects, monitor project changes, work as a team in the development of them online, in addition, we can know with Accurate project event days, thanks to Gantt-type scheduling. Our IT team is very happy with the effectiveness of Projectplace, we have been able to manage our technology projects without any complications.

Pros and Cons

All the projects that we carry out in our technology area, we can manage them correctly thanks to the Gantt chart system, where we can plan each of the projects, manage the resources of each project and we can also have a vision of the future as the project progresses. It is important to use this great function that Projectplace offers us, since we can anticipate a problem and thus solve it in the shortest possible time.
I love the UI that Projectplace offers me. It is an incredible comfort that I feel when I use this platform, it is very effective to have such a comfortable UI because I have been able to manage my projects without having any type of problem or without having to get bored while using the software. Apart from the convenience, it is also important to highlight the organization of all the sections within the platform, I can easily locate the projects area, the team communication area, and the project resources area.
The progress of the projects is developed in real time, it is surprising how I can check the progress of the projects that are being developed in my company with just one click. I can know exactly how many changes there have been in the project in a specific way and I can also know who is participating in that project.

In our industry, adapting to Projectplace was one of the hardest things we've ever experienced. The implementation process was not that complicated, however, adapting to each of the functions that Projectplace offered us was somewhat complicated, we did not know how to use the Gantt system and we did not know how to collaborate on projects of our colleagues. Planview Projectplace did not offer us any kind of guide or course to understand the functions of this software, we had to learn little by little and thanks to our team specialized in software.

Return on Investment

All the company's projects have been able to be completed in less time. Thanks to the project collaboration system, each of my colleagues can contribute a grain of sand in the development of projects in my area, as well as, I can contribute my grain of sand in helping them develop their projects. It is a collaboration system that allows you to help online to develop projects.
We have been able to be more punctual in delivering our projects. Thanks to the calendar system we can know the exact day on which we must deliver a project, in addition, the alert system has played a very important role, since we can be attentive to the delivery date.
We have been able to solve the problems of our projects more quickly and using few resources thanks to the Gantt system.
