Category innovation: Integrated strategic planning in PPM
Today’s enterprise organizations face more disruptive forces than ever. The ability to build a strategic plan that is connected through to execution is imperative, along with ensuring resources are working on the highest priorities to deliver the outcomes that realize the corporate strategy.
Planview Enterprise 12 delivers integrated strategic planning capabilities, including expanded program management, strategic roadmapping, and outcome-driven portfolios. The new capabilities support three core strategic planning scenarios:
1. PMOs managing programs, from department-specific, to programs spanning the enterprise
2. IT and business leaders driving digital transformation initiatives
3. Lines of business fueling innovation and growth that drives their top line revenue
Commitment to the best user experience in PPM
With Planview Enterprise 12, Planview continues to deliver on its commitment to providing the best portfolio and resource management user experience to its customers. Through the innovative ribbon and tiles introduced with Planview Enterprise 11, portfolios, analytics, and reporting are embedded right where users – from novices to experts, from business managers to PMOs – need them.
The new release features an updated, modern, flat interface design throughout the product and redesign of two of the most popular pages in the product – the timesheet and financial planning. These enhancements mark a milestone in the comprehensive three year user experience redesign brought about in cooperation with more than 250 customers that have devoted thousands of hours of collaboration and more than 500 hours of usability testing and feedback.
Inner Circle community at the core of Planview’s product leadership
The new release is a result of extensive customer involvement in the development process through the company’s Inner Circle customer community. The Inner Circle brings together PMOs, as well as product development and business leaders, from many of the world’s foremost organizations. Sharing real use cases, the community helps define priorities and provide constant feedback during the product development process.
