Maximize R&D Portfolio Value
with Planview® Advisor software
Planview Advisor provides a comprehensive view of your complex R&D portfolio’s health, including uncertainty, trade-offs, and opportunity costs to help organizations overcome:
- Inconsistent valuation standards to determine which products to fund, adjust, or abandon
- Inadequate approach to consider comprehensive market, development, and partnership impacts on product performance
- Inability to incorporate uncertainty into both short-term and long-term forecasts
- Ineffective portfolio prioritization based on inaccurate and incomplete investment analysis
- Delayed decision-making; leaving low-value initiatives in the portfolio mix for too long
- Failure to consider alternative scenarios for new products, or underinvestment in new-to-market and innovative R&D
