We leverage its comprehensive features to streamline our workflows, manage resources efficiently, and ensure alignment with our strategic objectives. A key feature is the ability to link OKRs directly to project financials within the same tool. I also appreciate the ability to tailor the tool to different team's delivery frameworks.
Pros
Integration options
Project budget & forecasting
ROI & cost benefit analysis
Cons
Wider compatibility & integrations
Enhanced reporting features
Clearer guidance on security & compliance
Likelihood to Recommend
Better suited for Agile, ITSM & traditional project management, less appropriate for teams that are dependent on 3rd party tooling without supported integrations.
We use it as our agile lifecycle management tool. We hope to use it for all work management and portfolio management in the future.
Pros
It’s very flexible for our needs
It’s able to support agile at scale
It’s effective at dependency management
Cons
More out of the box integrations with dev/ops tools
Better roadmapping visualization
Likelihood to Recommend
It’s a great ALM that can provide flexibility to manage both agile work and waterfall work if needed. With that flexibility, you’re able to effectively manage all of your portfolio work regardless of methodology. If you’re looking for a pure agile play, it may not have all the out of the box integrations you might be looking for to support your DevOps journey easily.
We use Apptio Targetprocess for project management as software developers. It is a great tool for managing scrums and assigning tasks, amongst other things. We can also track budgets and time. Apptio Targetprocess enables us to create a variety of views and reports so that we can track our projects and hold all information in one place.
Pros
Relating tasks to projects
Tracking budget when configured to do so
Tracking time v estimated effort
Cons
Apptio Targetprocess lacks the ability to assign test runs to individuals
Some views can be difficult to configure for some users
Apptio Targetprocess is only as good as its users

Apptio Targetprocess is great for providing an overview of project progression. The use of Features, User Stories, and Tasks allow projects to be broken down and assigned to the correct specialists. The help desk function means that bugs and Change Requests enter the system seamlessly. I also do the configuration for Apptio Targetprocess and find most of the work I need to do fairly intuitive.
TargetProcess is the tool we use to organize and track our work. We work in a highly Agile environment and TargetProcess supports our workflow very well. Particular strengths of TargetProcess are:
that it is highly customizable so individuals can build views that give them the information that they want,
the rapid development of new features by the team,
the responsiveness of the support team.
However, the ability to customize views does come with a learning curve and it helps to have someone providing some standard views so that the team can always use these to have a shared understanding of the project's work.
Pros
Level of customization of views.
Well supported with new releases.
Responsive support team.
Cons
The customization of views can mean that different people are viewing data differently but setting up standard views helps.
Likelihood to Recommend
TargetProcess is well suited to Agile development teams from small to large teams. It is perhaps less well suited to work that is more rigid such as art production for a video game.
