Overall Satisfaction with IBM Targetprocess

Central project governance, agile software development planning, roadmapping.

Pros

  • Roadmap View.
  • Project Governance Planning.
  • Prioritization of Entities (Feature/Epics etc.).

Cons

  • Ideas portal - the external view compared to Aha! is lacking, so much so we've had to keep some lite Aha! Seats as an external-facing ideas portal is critical.
  • It reduced licensing costs.
  • Shorter time to value when rolling out a wide-reaching company-wide project governance tool.
  • Faster planning cycles.
Positive - agile delivery KPIs are now more accessible.
  • Cloudability
n/a - only use Targetprocess (had to select an answer).
