Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have been in my current role for 6 months. Over my career I have used many CRMs and Project Management tools, but this was my first experience with Planview ProjectPlace. I was shocked how easily I was able to get up and running. This tool is quite intuitive and easily facilitates collaboration with my team. We use it to manage all of our projects within one Kanban, as our document repository, and we use the white board for quick and easy brainstorming. I think an area for opportunity for this tool is around automation. It is quite restrictive and for some applications this could be limiting.
Pros
- Collaboration
- Card creation from an outlook email
- Simple to use
- Integrated with other more comprehensive tools, for us, Planview Portfolios
Cons
- Allow for custom automations
- A community forum that isn't behind a password wall
Return on Investment
- This has made our team significantly more efficient.
