It is a perfect solution for our day-to-day work and process management. It is on the cloud. It is in Amazon AWS, but we are currently in the pipeline to get it migrated to Azure. In terms of the version, it is a managed solution, and the last upgrade was probably in the year 2019.
We went for it to manage all global strategies for the company. We manage the strategies inside Planview and deploy them in small tasks with Projectplace. We use a repository, and we are trying to create some workflows to divide the WPs into small tasks and assign them to external developers. We are still discovering what we can do inside Projectplace, and we are currently using only a small part of this solution.

Planview Projectplace serves as the workplace for a project, where you can have all the documentation and all the versions of that documentation, for example, the specifications of a project. Through Planview Projectplace, I also create the structure I need. For example, I can have my drafts reviewed before creating the final versions, then I can easily keep track of all versions. I can also upload different versions and correspond internally and externally within the company and with suppliers.
This was an enterprise rollout of Planview, as well as a number of projects. One of them had me as the senior project manager. I had a Planview entire project, which included resources, budget, work breakdown structures, and everything else that a Project plan would normally include. Through Planview Projectplace, I ran the agile side of things.
It is a complete project planning software where you can work collaboratively with your team members. This solution is cloud-based so we do not have to worry about installing it on the client location or at our location on-premises. Anybody can use it. We just need to give access to our team members. They log into that application, then work simultaneously. It helps in improving our overall business efficiency, team management, and stakeholder management because it provides timely reports and project data. It is deployed centrally. The solution is used by different users across the geography. It is also used by different departments and divisions, e.g., in IT marketing and sales accounts. We have deployed it and provided credentials to particular users for it, like support for the admin users, general users, and basic users. We provided credentials according to their access and strength.
I work as a security analyst and I am involved in the planning phase for security in project management. My work in Projectplace concerns product planning, and it is one of the software products that we use for continuous development. From my perspective, it is a general project management tool and I use it to fulfill the security aspect of the project. When it comes to major releases, Projectplace allows me to align the security testing with the other timelines. It helps with time management and planning product releases. For example, it can tell me how much time I need for different test phases. It facilitates collaboration with other teams, which helps to achieve their goals according to the timelines.

I'm an R&D Project Manager for new product development. We develop valves, pumps and seals, and I come from the valve background. I'm a Mechanical Engineer. We build new products from the beginning to the end and we use Projectplace to track the tasks. We use Projectplace to track our project schedule. We also use Projectplace for the document feature where we tag our company's SharePoint links on to a Projectplace document so that all the documents that we are going to use in the project, be it any kind of piece, an Excel file, a PowerPoint, or a Word document, everything sits on Projectplace. It's super useful.
The biggest thing that I'm trying to hunt down is the integration with Projectplace possibilities with other tools such as with our development team that is using JIRA. Our information systems and services teams use it for planning project work, analysis, detailing, time tracking, and estimates. They haven't started the story point yet but we'll probably end up doing that. We do use the Kanban features of this to walk through our standup. And our PMs use the portfolios. Our managers, VPs, and directors use the portfolio to look at the overall work of how it's planned, and so forth. Those are mainly our use cases today. Projectplace's ability to connect to Gantt charts and Kanban boards affects the ability of stakeholders to view progress. It shows the duration and visually if you look at the plan and see where you're at, based on today, and showing you progress, it has little visual cues if you're behind and so forth. From a Kanban board, they can come in and look and see what's still planned or if people ARE still working on something. Once we get there, they'll be able to see the story points. I don't see that JIRA would provide a velocity report, but I'm sure there's something in there that you can look at to see what was estimated and how much work you're getting done within a board. We have less than 500 users.

We use it for a lot of large strategic projects from an implementation perspective. We used to have rather large Excel files that we were managing task and project work to be done. Then, we transition all of those work plans into Projectplace. We use it for large strategic project implementations, the new cancer center, we are currently using it for a new hospital tower that we're opening up this fall, and things like that. So large strategic projects is primarily where I use it. We have some service line leadership teams across our healthcare organization that we use to manage their work that's aligned with our mission and vision and so we use it for a lot of those teams. Across our organization, we have a lot of teams that are using it for a myriad of different reasons and it keeps growing. We have an accrediting body called "joint commission." They'll survey your facility and show where there are some opportunities for improvement. When our quality team gets that, they've used Projectplace to create some standard work using those ways within that combined view to really manage their work. That's the same work that needs to be accomplished once one of those surveys comes back in. They've set up that standard work and now they use that for every survey across all of our different facilities. That was a really cool use case that I was involved with helping them design but that's being used across the organization as well. There's some work intake because we also have PPM Pro. From a work intake perspective, there are a lot of teams that are managing work intake and then creating projects in Projectplace or cards in the workspaces as a result of that. That's just the tip of the iceberg of what our organization is using it for.
Getting work done is easy when your team has the best project management tools that enable traditional and accidental project managers to plan and execute work with their teams. Planview ProjectPlace offers a wide range of powerful work and project management tools that enable traditional and accidental project managers to plan and execute work with their teams, track progress in real time, and ultimately achieve goals.
