Overall Satisfaction with Planview Portfolios

We use Planview Portfolios for all of the corporate funded programs and projects and to certain extent divisionally funded projects. Planview Portfolios is used starting from Planning (identifying potential opportunities), program and project management, capacity and demand management and reporting. We use SSRS for reporting. We have integrated with other IT systems within the organization for a complete solution for our Executive Team and User community.
  • Capture potential opportunities using the Requests Module and analyze and rank these opportunities via lifecycles and promote (dispatch) approved opportunities into Projects. Information captured during the request process automatically get transferred to projects.
  • Robust schedule management; time reporting; resource management and financial planning and management
  • Risk and Issue management controlled via robust lifecycles.
  • Extensive reporting capabilities via SSRS and Power BI Dashboards and delivered to users via tiles in Project and Portfolio views.
  • Work and Assignments module - this module can be enhanced to have auto scheduling features and ability to copy and paste tasks from spreadsheets etc.
  • Standard tools to bulk import data into Planview via spreadsheets; currently customization is required.
  • Options to configure ROI metrics calculations, especially with IRR calculations.
  • Updates to Timesheet reporting module; show the schedule hierarchy on the screen instead of hover text.
  • Work and Assignments module
  • Portfolio Manager tiles that allow users to perform updates to their projects and programs including bulk updates

We are currently using Planview AgilePlace. Also we use Tasktop Hub for integrating with other applications within the organization. We would like to use ProjectPlace which is integrated with Planview Portfolios in the future.
