What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess?

Targetprocess has the capability to represent just about any workflow in your organization. It is on your and your implementation to create this model but the tool will allow you near infinite flexibility to do so. There are much more expensive tools that are more limited in this approach.

What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess?

Apptio TargetProcess stands out due to its high level of flexibility. This ability is especially valuable since it allows them to customize the software considering individual requirements and patterns of work, for diverse teams and projects. At this degree of flexibility, users can develop a very individual life project management coursework that fits exactly in line with their targets. Furthermore, the intuitive UI and user-oriented design are very helpful in creating a perfect and fast user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess?

However, one thing that I do not like is the lack of some out-of-the-box solutions. For example, I face problems explaining about status meetings, because they are among the management activities. Rather, it would help if the system had an inherent feature meeting some special needs without depending on external works ground.

Also, I have realized that this too does not have the capability of capturing velocity unlike other contenders such as Jira. This may pose as a downside when relying so much on tracked velocities for agility purposes.

These shortcomings notwithstanding, it can be improved to a greater extent, thereby turning into a powerful as well as encompassing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has a comprehensive solution for managing projects with the scaled agile framework – one of the critical issues it is taking care of within our organization. This allows us to make the processes transparent; that is, we can track promises people within our teams make at PI planning meetings. My organization now enjoys great visibility, alignment, and collaboration among its team members resulting to fruitful project outcomes following adoption of Targetprocess.

Additionally, this software is used to keep record of all produced defects and assign them to the respective teams. Such feature enables effective monitoring of communication within tickets as well as linking of related tickets which bear common characteristics. This has improved our ability to attend to problems quickly and fix them effectively with this streamlined method of bug tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
