Overall Satisfaction with IBM Targetprocess

We've recently adopted IBM Targetprocess as our Enterprise Portfolio Management solution to help us with our view of strategy to execution. As an Organisation we recently moved away from one tooling supplier so hopefully can provide some objectivity to this review. We were keen to give visibility and transparency of our Change portfolio to become more data driven and facilitate the right conversations.

Pros

  • The UI is more intuitive than other suppliers and that is consistent feedback from our user population
  • We've really focused in on and leveraged the power of the integrations with our other SaaS solutions to create that version of the truth and avoidance of unnecessary and wasteful duplication of effort.
  • Dashboards are useful and spinning up new reports is relatively straightforward with basic knowledge of the tooling.
  • Being able to share the view to non users within the Organisation is a useful benefit.
  • I like the ability to be able assess data points within many of the visuals to simply validate and interrogate the data.

Cons

  • Having the ability to only open 3 windows at a time is an unnecessary constraint and hope IBM will get this on the change road map.
  • Excited to see what AI capabilities will be developed over time to create further Portfolio management efficiencies.
  • We're currently navigating support options which appear to differ by Apptio product so maybe room to create some consistency there as it's a little confusing.
  • If you use an implementation partner be sure to focus on knowledge transfer. It was important to us to be in control of the keys however you may have to drive this.
  • Reduced waste via maximising integrations
  • Allowed us to move away from manual RAIDD management and tracking
  • Enabled greater visibility to portfolio change management
  • Enabled us to become more data driven
  • Transparency of change data so we can regularly inspect and adapt
  • Reduced cost in comparison to previous supplier.
We use the SAFe framework and we've been able to build our solution with that in mind.
  • IBM Apptio (formerly ApptioOne)
