Overall Satisfaction with Planview Projectplace

It is being used by the PMO and contributing members. As it's leveraged by the PMO, multiple participating teams are leveraging it, but it's still in it's infancy.

Pros

  • Boards view is fantastic for contributors to create, assign, and track tasks.
  • My Work view is good for at-a-glance information but could use some work.

Cons

  • Dependencies for board items are a bit unclear. I have completed tasks in the My Work view that show as overdue, presumably because other portions of the tool aren't configured or scheduled appropriately. Dependencies could and should drive do this then that type activities, but there doesn't appear to be any direct workflow or linkage between them other than at a superficial level.
  • File collaboration requiring an agent is cumbersome. Why isn't there integration to Sharepoint or another more seamless document repository? This platform creates another competing source of truth for documents which is a problem.
  • I believe the reporting interface could be improved - our PMO is currently experimenting with yet another solution to create better at a glance reports from a burndown perspective. Planview has all the raw data so this is re-work.
  • Easier integration of my workflows into PMO-level visibility.

    Hi Jeffrey! Thank you for your review, we appreciate the feedback! When it comes to your question about dependencies, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Please reach out to our Customer Care team if you would like to get help: https://success.planview.com/Projectplace/Projectplace_Support I would also like to comment on your remark about file collaboration. We do currently offer integrations to other document repositories, such as OneDrive, Google Docs, Box and Dropbox. We are also planning to spend some time on improving dashboards and reporting next year, so your feedback will be incorporated into the 2019 roadmap. Thanks again for your time reviewing us! Kind regards Anna Öhrlund Customer Marketing Manager for Projectplace
