Planview is purpose-built for enterprise-scale digital product delivery and development where departmental or DIY solutions fall short.
Beyond team tools: The Planview difference
As organizations grow, the tools that work well for small teams become limitations rather than enablers. What happens when you need enterprise-wide visibility, metrics that rise above the team level, and strategic alignment between business and technology teams?

Where It Falls Short
Often results in data fragmentation and administrative overhead
Has your organization reached a limit with team tools?
Organizations frequently outgrow popular team-level tool capabilities when:
- Board meetings require integrated cost-centric narratives
- Audits demand consistent data across portfolios
- Strategic planning needs to connect directly to execution data
- Resource allocation decisions span multiple products and shared services
- Financial governance requires integrated CapEx/OpEx visibility
Sound familiar? Maybe it’s time to explore an enterprise digital product development and delivery solution like Planview.

Planview – a proven enterprise solution
When expanding beyond team-level tooling, some organizations consider Jira Align as their enterprise solution. However, experience shows that while keeping your Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket investments makes perfect sense for team productivity, Planview offers advanced enterprise capabilities without disrupting developer workflows.
You get the best of both worlds – familiar daily tools for developers plus robust enterprise-wide integration and consolidated data for leadership. Unlike the lengthy, complex implementations typical with Align, Planview seamlessly integrates with your existing Atlassian ecosystem while delivering critical enterprise capabilities. Atlassian Align simply doesn’t match:
Enterprise Financial and Capacity Visibility
Planview provides native CapEx/Opex and hybrid portfolio cost views. Atlassian lacks robust financial tracking, leaving enterprises to cobble together financial governance through external tools.
Flexible Methodology and Portfolio Modeling
Planview supports multi-method environments (hybrid Agile/SAFe/Waterfall), whereas Atlassian remains biased toward SAFe-centric alignment that doesn’t fit all enterprise contexts.
Data Integration and Speed of Adoption
Planview Hub connectors offer faster setup times (weeks vs. months).
Built-in Strategic OKR Governance
Planview offers direct OKR portfolio alignment versus Atlassian’s fragmented OKR plug-ins and external solutions, which create disconnected strategic objectives.
The cost of delaying an enterprise solution
Continuing with disconnected team tools and manual roll-ups has quantifiable costs:
- Sunk costs into initiatives that are misaligned with strategy
- Opportunity costs from delayed market entry
- Growing technical debt that limits teams’ ability to innovate
- Wasted team capacity spent on work that is cancelled or never delivered
- Strategic drift as execution disconnects from objectives
