Planview® has been recognized in the September 2016 Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for IT Project and Portfolio Software Applications, Worldwide. Out of nine solutions evaluated, Planview Enterprise received the highest product score for every use case analyzed by the research firm.

Gartner’s Critical Capabilities report provides a comparative analysis that scores competing products or services against Gartner’s set of critical differentiators.

Gartner defined three main use cases for IT PPM applications, based on client needs:

  • IT Project Portfolio Investment Governance. IT organizations in this use case are working to create a portfolio of major IT programs and projects.
  • IT Project Portfolio Execution. This is comprehensive IT PPM at the execution level, ensuring that projects within an approved IT project portfolio are executed on time and on budget.
  • Emergent IT Work and Project Management. This covers more adaptive IT project management allowing for rapid changes, and new tasks and requirements to be added while keeping control of projects.

“We feel our scores in Gartner’s first Critical Capabilities Report for IT Project and Portfolio Software Applications is validation of our strategy over the last several years,” said Patrick Tickle, chief product officer at Planview. “Our investments in Planview Enterprise have been all about advancing the planning and execution promise, while bringing Projectplace into Planview in recognition of today’s emergent work modes.
