Increase flexibility and efficiency with Planview AdaptiveWork
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Our organization uses Planview AdaptiveWork for our every cross-departmental project in our company. The key term here being the cross-departmental piece. The real benefit of Planview AdaptiveWork is that it makes it seamless to bridge the gap between so many different groups of users. The way the modules are able to interact with each other, the connections you can build between users, groups and permissions, and the organization of data makes Planview AdaptiveWork the best solution for us to be able to both offer a high level of personalization while maintaining standardization. We use Planview AdaptiveWork not only for internal projects, but, external projects as well. It's flexibility to be able to invite outside users and provide a high level of visibility makes it ideal to collaborate with project resources both inside and outside of our organization. Before we implemented Planview AdaptiveWork, we found ourselves using a different project management tool for each department, or, even worse, no tool at all, cobbling together a mess of spreadsheets, emails, direct messages, and one-off conversations that made gathering all the knowledge we needed for the project nearly impossible. Centralizing all of this inside of Planview AdaptiveWork had a huge impact on the way we conduct our project management processes and has massively benefited our efficiency and profitability thanks to a reduced amount of project rework and time lost finding information.
Pros
- Provides an enterprise-level solution that offers scalability like no other tool
- Clearly defines permissions and individual workspaces that can be custom-tailored to the work style of different departments and team members
- Provides flexibility in the organization of data and the ability to access it
- Supplies us with exceptional reporting capabilities that give us the power to look at projects from the highest to the lowest levels of granularity
Cons
- Planview AdaptiveWork's ability to create relations between work estimates, resources, and time is one of its strengths but also one of its drawbacks. The average user is a little less considerate of the way these things interact with each and the automatic way in which Planview AdaptiveWork will affect one or the other can occasionally create a confusing scenario if the user is unaware of how changing one will affect the other
Likelihood to Recommend
Planview AdaptiveWork is by far the most flexible project management tool we've ever used. The ability to customize and create solutions to fit our needs is beyond capable. We often find ourselves creating new workflows that make automatic actions in parts of a project, or send notifications, or add users, or update statuses... the list of things goes on and on. Essentially the ability to create an IF statement on pretty much EVERYTHING you can do in the system is unparalleled. If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
