This is a good question, but the starting point would be to understand whether your focus is on project management software or portfolio management software because there is a big difference between the two.
In terms of software, project management software is really focused on managing individual projects and can help communicate information about a specific project. Project management software is commonly used by Project Managers and the project team members. Portfolio management software though is focused on the entire portfolio of projects to give senior leaders holistic visibility of those projects. Portfolio management software helps senior leaders to make better strategic decisions. Check out this article for more information on this topic: https://acuityppm.com/project-...
Hi Netanya, for complez projects I recommend Basecamp or Microsoft Project, but for small or low complexity projects I suggest Trello. Best regards.
Hi Netanya,
If you want to reach a quick-wins at the portfolio level with an intelligent algorithmic and automated approach please look at my favourite tool called Aangine.
It gives you capabilities to run multiple What-if scenarios at the portfolio level, considering various constraints on capacity, budgets, timing and prioritization. It helps PMOs/SPMs very quickly to perform risk & value analysis and run impacts analysis to see what happens if suddenly priorities/capacity/budget will be changed. Visibility on future horizons, possibly bottlenecks and risks gives you the opportunity to compare and run an intelligent algorithm to optimise your future portfolio within a new reality immediately. As an outcome, in the first couple of quarters, you will get significant results on your execution side of the way of working.
Regarding the execution part of the delivery for the corporate customers, I would recommend Micro Focus PPM review.
Kind regards,
I. Bayraktar
I’ve used Trello, Asana, and Monday.com.
My favorite by far is ClickUp due to following reasons:
1. It’s inexpensive.
2. Support is great.
3. Very flexible - we do sprints with points and it’s great for this.
4. They are constantly launching new improvements.
5. Most important - my team loves ClickUp and actually uses it! We particularly like the goals feature.
Jira is what we currently use and I have no complaints about it at all.
Since 1998 I have been using the Planisware project portfolio management solution for multiple pharma organizations.
The application initially had the esoteric name OPX2. For easier international name recognition, its name sensibly became Planisware in 2009 with the release of P5. Subsequent releases of Planisware P5 and Planisware P6 (or V6) and currently Planisware Enterprise (E7) have brought substantive improvements to the stakeholder community in user interface, capabilities, reporting, and performance.
Planisware documentation has evolved markedly with more frequent publishing of detailed functional guides, videos, and release notes, available online for customers and from within the application. For example, the fifth set of release notes for E7, specifically 7.0.4; March 2022, is 133 pages long. Planisware Academy is another tool for gaining proficiency with project and portfolio management.
What I especially enjoy with Planisware is unsurpassed flexibility for managing project activities--not just as list tables and Gantt charts, but also with Kanban cards, roadmaps, stage and gates, deliverables, ideas, etc. Modules for resource management and cost management have similar depth of execution. Another module for tracking risks and opportunities is selectable when needed.
Planisware's implementation of activity types as a discrete breakdown structure facilitates the use of consistent, defined activities across projects and improves the accuracy of planning.
Project templates and activity library features are valuable for creating new projects more efficiently.
Data visualization is another Planisware strongpoint. It's possible to make dynamic slide presentations of working projects.
Given the depth and breadth of Planisware modules and the software's overall capabilities, each corporate organization has to make a long-term commitment to adopting Planisware. Providing stakeholders the opportunity to gain needed proficiencies with Planisware is also essential for reaping the considerable benefits of using this fascinating enterprise solution.
I have experience with Asana. It's an easy-to-use and configure solution, especially for medium and non-complex plans.
The real question is: what type of Project/Portfolio Management system do I need?
The Trello, Asana, and Monday.com types of products tend to be a bit more lightweight. Sometimes, they lack the structure that a more robust system such as Project Online or Project for the Web can offer.
If the organization is small(er) and or only a few individuals will be utilizing the system, then the former may work well. If a large(r) organization and many PMs /Portfolio Managers, compliance issues, etc., a more mainstream Project? A Portfolio Management approach may be needed. Look into a bigger player in the market.
Take a look at the Gartner reviews for additional suggestions as to what level and type of system may be the right one for your organization.
