Likelihood to Recommend

With the various options Planview offers it truly is a product that could meet a wide range of needs either across different companies or across different business units within one company. If you need to do only project management, not a problem. Start with PMing and slowly introduce other aspects like Resource Management as the company can absorb it.

Allows flexibility and visibility to key project needs
