My experience with Planview AdaptiveWork

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Planview AdaptiveWork as a complete end to end project management software. Beginning with product requests, through to the creation of individual projects, to the daily management and progression of tasks through to project completion. Really useful to be able to tag relevant documentation to projects and have everything in one place.

Pros

  • Allowing multiple team members to simultaneously work on a project with live updating
  • Good uptime
  • Massively customisable

Cons

  • Project cases get muddled or confused sometimes while running through milestones. Resulting in completion statuses at half-mast. Can be confusing
  • The mobile app is almost unusable. Would really like to see that completely revamped

Return on Investment

  • We have seen an increase of around 15% in projects completed in time since we began to use Planview AdaptiveWork
  • Some aspects of the platform can be overwhelmingly complicated, leading to staff disengaging from usage
