Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Planview ProjectPlace to create and manage Projects schedules & milestones, align tasks/sub-tasks to the inbuilt Kanban board and manage the respective Project documentation in one place. Planview ProjectPlace being intuitive and easy to use, is happily adopted by the users and helps us bring POAP (Project on a Page) relatively fast. Tool has made it easy for everyone to track what/when each resource is working on.

Pros

Project Scheduling
Connecting all your work to Kanban board for agile ways of working
Supports a wide array of document management and ability to connect to your SharePoint and OneDrive for ease of access.

Cons

There's a calendar feature that does not support Teams, it we can feed in teams calendar to a Workspace, that'll be great.
Better flexibility to manage a Workspace layout on the overview screen

Likelihood to Recommend

Planview ProjectPlace is relatively easy to learn and use. Anyone with the basic knowledge of Project Management can easily get into the tool, use self-help articles and videos on Planview Success Center and start creating and managing their Workspaces. Then the ability to connect Planview ProjectPlace to Planview Portfolios using connectors further enhances the ability to capture financials on Projects and align them to Programmes/Strategies, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Projectplace is used as project platform with clients: very helpful to share information along project life (contacts, planning, documents, activities). Board is a highly used tool. It is used to synchronize information with project sub-supplier (project partners).
Usually, language used is English.

Pros

Sharing documentation, drawings
Assign activities
Project planning

Cons

Planning with resources and cost
More contact details
Download (Excel/Word)

Likelihood to Recommend

Planview Projectplace is well suited for complex projects, having teams to manage in different locations. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to manage activities in one company.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Projectplace as a coordination and management tool among the different partners of a European project, both from industry and academia. Here, at Instituto de Telecomunicações, Projectplace is being by our group only in the context of this international project, and we only use English as the official language.

Pros

A set of different tools to manage meetings, documents, members, Gantt charts, etc. all integrated into the same framework.
Document version control.
Desktop application to locally store and update files.

Cons

A meeting platform functionality, such as GoToMeeting or Skype for Business, would be very valuable.
The possibility to integrate with other platforms, like software development tools or repositories (GitLab), would be nice.
Maybe a collaboration hub similar to Slack would be useful.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a very great tool for project management, especially in an international scope. Maybe for small scale local projects it's not the most appropriate tool, but maybe I am wrong, since I've never used for that scenario. In any case, for project management and collaboration with other international partners, Planview Projectplace is a fantastic framework.

Projectplace: Good Surprise on a collaborative tool designed for agile

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

April 2, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are in the process of configuring and implementing Planview Enterprise One, and Projectplace is being used as the main project management tool for this project. We are still in a learning curve, and the tool is being used now with a few users in multi-countries, but it has brought us some interesting new concepts and productivity. Once Enterprise One is implemented, the idea is to have them both linked and syncing so that Projectplace can be used for agile projects and also project document storage, as well as a preferred communication tool.

Pros

It shows the tasks in a time schedule view, allowing the user to switch between the agile interface of cards and an overview of the tasks and its correlations.
The possibility of having a dedicated document storage area with easy access gives a friendly way of finding what you need.
The mobile app is a good tool and an easy way to get on track with your projects.

Cons

Importing cards to the board could be simpler and easier, like copy and paste.
The name of the columns could be customized, allowing more flexibility to the organization of the board.
Additional information for the cards such as cost (money) would be desirable.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for project management and as a communication tool. It helps to organize and prioritize tasks, and also puts a good perspective on the scope to be delivered. The ability to use agile methodology with an overview of the project is interesting for follow up, and this together with the possibility to integrate with a time schedule makes the tool powerful in managing control.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Projectplace is being used to track projects, activities, boards, and development of specific features and bug fixes. We also are using it for time tracking and upper management is using it for strategic planning.

Pros

We can write cards quickly.
We can update cards quickly.
We can move cards quickly.

Cons

The individual dashboard sucks and basically makes this tool so painful that I would not recommend it for the line employee.
I work on several projects and there is one dashboard "My overview" that can't be modified. All I get is a list of cards on the right in some random orders from the eight or so project boards in one long list. You MUST implement some "cascading" dashboard that shows a hierarchy of Project > Activity > Board > Card > Status with configurable fields shown, where sections can be collapsed when focusing on one area.
The ID for cards can be the same as the ID of a different card on another board. If you move a card to another board the ID changes.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe this tool is only appropriate for one simple project at a time.
