Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented Projectplace and integrated it with PPM PRO this year. We are long time users of PPM PRO and are currently piloting Projectplace within the Information Services Department. The application is being used by a variety of users both experiences and inexperienced project managers in order to gain perspective of how we can best utilize the functionality within our organization. We are primarily English speaking and located in Raleigh, NC.

Support Rating

We haven't had to use support very much, but when we have it was adequate.

Usability

We haven't had any disappointed users thus far, but we are still new to using this application.

Likelihood to Recommend

So far we have found that its simplicity in functionality works well with departments that do not have trained PMs managing projects. Not sure it would be the best fit for all projects in the organization, but others can use PPM PRO where more robust reporting and metrics are needed.

Great tool for inexperienced PMs
