Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.

The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow. The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes. Additionally, it is used to ensure that activities are completed properly, as part of the typical project and portfolio management. It meets my needs as a good project and portfolio management tool.
