Product Details

What is Planview Portfolios?

Planview Portfolios is a project portfolio management and enterprise architecture management tool provided by Planview, Inc., located in Austin, TX. It includes two components: Portfolio and Resource Management (formerly Planview Enterprise), and Capability and Technology Management (formerly Troux). The platform is available as a cloud-based or on-premise service.

Portfolio and Resource Management (formerly Planview Enterprise) connects strategy to execution by improving decision making across the enterprise, including product development, IT, and services. By integrating planning and execution, it enables organizations to prioritize their portfolios, balance organizational capacity against demand, link plans and resources to project execution, and manage the underlying financials of the entire process.

Capability and Technology Management (formerly Troux) is designed to drive business outcomes by connecting technology with business context. The vendor says this enables IT leaders to advance business strategies and capabilities by making better decisions about application and technology portfolios. According to the vendor, the module’s data model and visualizations, combined with deep domain expertise in application and technology management, enable customers to achieve shorter time to value and to better communicate the business value of IT.

  • Flexible, highly configurable toolset to support a number of different business processes.
  • Product suite is constantly being updated with new features and a high frequency cadence of releases.
  • Good integration with dashboarding capabilities both internal and external e.g. PowerBI.
  • While the initial configuration is fairly easy to leverage to enhance the full features some core technical experience is required (this may not be available within the client's team - PV do provide a very good customer support service).
  • Enhancing the work planning capability. There is so much available that it can sometimes be a little overwhelming - again this could be due to the way that we have implemented some features (not an issue with the toolset itself.
  • Integration with provisioning systems (I know this is on the cards); to make the user management of the system at an enterprise level easier.

  • Robust workflow capabilities
  • Timesheet tracking and reporting
  • Project planning with full PMP - PMI type capabilities in one place
  • The User Interface is antiquated and not intuitive for the user
  • Some of the functionality is limited around project planning and flexibility with making changes, running schedules, baselining (would like Planview Portfolios to keep version history automatically like Word or Excel does.
  • Expensive - would like to have different license types for the users that do more than entering time, but don't need full access so we can lessen the expense.

  • Financials - Portfolios offers the opportunity to enter detailed financial information.
  • Customization - Portfolios is extremely customizable allowing you to create your own processes and procedures that conform to your company's way of work
  • Connected work - Portfolios connects with other Planview products such as ProjectPlace and AgilePlace allowing users to do the actual planning work in the platform that suits them best and feed the necessary information up to Portfolios for tracking at a higher level
  • Planview is already working on this but Navigation is tough, I think the introduction of Overviews will help this but there really needs to be a view that a Senior Level stakeholder can log into and see exactly what he needs to see without any clicking around and searching. Overviews is a step in the right direction, but we aren't quite there yet. I am hopeful!
  • More customized reporting options! Power BI is great but the ability to post real time reports from Power BI is limited. Fast Track reports can be great but frequently have information that is not relevant for us and editing/customizing them is quite difficult. Having a built in report builder option, something an average user could use, would be a great addition!

  • Summarized view of all projects in one place
  • Good approval matrix and workflow to manage approval when multiple Leadership approvals are required
  • Good dashboarding and reporting capabilities
  • With access to all data, drag and drop kind of graphs and charts would be ideal
  • UI seems a bit dated. Lot of room for improvement
  • Sometimes, the website is a bit slow. When you try to do multiple things at a time. Esp. going through administration options, everything seems slow and laggy

  • Manage large portfolios with thousands of projects.
  • Roll up financials across strategic hierarchy for projects around the world.
  • Manage access in multiple ways so we can set up each user/role with just the right permissions.
  • Support a variety of reporting and analytics methods.
  • ODATA is powerful but complex to customize, and it is hard to track query changes (who changes what when).
  • The user interface defaults to the last open portfolio, which can waste a lot of time loading a large portfolio if that's not what you want now.
  • Job management logs need better error messages to diagnose the issues.

  • Track financial actuals and forecasts.
  • Present projects in user definable portfolios based on user selected criteria.
  • It provides visibility of resource assignments and utilization through any number of organizational and other attribute filters.
  • Some users feel the UI could be more intuitive. Although once learned, users are ok with it; new users are sometimes reluctant.
  • Better history tracking for financials and schedule changes would improve our ability to address user concerns with unexpected changes to data.
  • Giving Users the ability to go back to a previous life cycle step.
  • Undo button for changes to project schedules and financials.

  • Capturing matrixed skills on resources to ensure staffing is adequate and better align demand to supply.

  • I'd like the ability to personally customize the pre-designed tiles
  • I'd like the ability to create my own reports by ticking a box of exactly which data I'd like to view. Sometimes what I want is a combination of reporting options that are already available, and I need to pull both and combine on my own in excel.
  • I'd like to be able to expand my column sets with an easy select all concept and click on a column line (similar to excel) instead of moving each column individually.
  • I'd like the ability to create a landing page

  • Allows to select carefully how we document our work
  • Let's us track financials at whatever level we deem necessary
  • Gives us the ability to track actual work from specific resources
  • Allows us to plan for future work based on availability of resources
  • Adjusting field once established is impossible and requires creating a new field, and then you end up with having to copy data or else...
  • It would be a nice thing is users (not Admins) could do some superficial labeling or changes like that based on their specific needs without impacting the entire org.
  • Some things are not very intuitive, the learning curve is heavy, although once you get it it's great. If you step away for a while coming back is nearly as difficult as the first time you used it.
  • Users should be able to tag a person or create a notification for someone on the fly as they need to without an Admin having to setup a whole system to do it.
