IBM Targetprocess Reviews & Insights

We've recently adopted IBM Targetprocess as our Enterprise Portfolio Management solution to help us with our view of strategy to execution. As an Organisation we recently moved away from one tooling supplier so hopefully can provide some objectivity to this review. We were keen to give visibility and transparency of our Change portfolio to become more data driven and facilitate the right conversations.

IBM Targetprocess compares really positively top other solutions within the Market that I have used. For instance, with one supplier we were unsuccessful with integration for years, with IBM Targetprocess we'd proved connection and integration within a couple of months.

Hybrid portfolio management (agile and waterfall projects) and integration with team tools
Integration with Apptio One and be able to see the financial data

I use IBM Targetprocess for pull cloud costing for GCP, particularly but also for our Azure tenant

We were using IBM Targetprocess but the cost (so I was told) was a limiting factor

IBM Targetprocess is something we are trying to implement to improve the agile process in our team to improve efficiency and productivity. The advantage of IBM Targetprocess is the visual boards and it helps us in visualizing details in a better manner and hence improve collaboration among the team. The other advantage is integration with other tools.

In terms of using IBM Targetprocess , we have a good experience in creating visual boards and dashboards. It helps in visualizing the process in a clear manner and helps us in improving the processes in our team.

OKRs, Demand Planning and Capacity Planning

Allows middle management to look up and down the work to ensure alignment to value

IBM TargetProcess has helped us bridge the gap between the different portfolios that operate in silos to give the required visibility to the senior leadership to find synergies and align the strategy across different departments and teams.

It gives us the opportunity to manage our resources better and improve our productivity.

Breaking silos and mapping the ongoing initiatives with business desired outcomes and objectives

We widely use IBM Targetprocess tool for PI planning before starting the next quarter, OKR's planning, Working assignment to the engineers and cross team collaboration. This will help us to prioritize the tasks, track the dependencies, sprint planning , backlog grooming and delivery tracking. this will reduce the time and improve the productivity

Ideal for managing multiple Agile teams using SAFe or similar frameworks. Great for aligning strategic goals with execution using OKRs and Effective for tracking dependencies and progress across departments.

We use IBM Targetprocess to manage dependencies and Track progrecc in a komplex SAFe based Development. Further we use it to create alignment using OKR.

Well Suited: Manage the flow of Work in a SAFe implementationEnterprise Agile TransformationsStrategic Portfolio Management, Cross-Team Collaboration Less: Small Teams or Simple Projects, Organizations Unfamiliar with Agile Frameworks, Large Datasets and Performance Issues, Integration Limitations, Limited item based access right management

We have started using Targetprocess to create roadmaps for development teams to share during quarterly planning and for tracking and reporting on different work efforts. We intend to use it to track OKR progress in the future. We would like to use it more strategically, but haven't found that value yet.

Once configured, the sync between TP and ADO works pretty well, although it's duplicative (like roadmaps/delivery plans)
I like the ability to have a report that shows all the security-related issues and their status related to an Idea.
It's very confusing trying to set up a new entity type to receive IT-related requests.
The Quick Add popup is not helpful as I can't include all required fields. And if additional content is required that's not on the Quick Add screen, there is no obvious way to indicate to the user that they have to fill out more info and change the state of the item to submit the request. Users may fill out the quick add and assume the request has been submitted.

IBM Targetprocess is currently been used within our Organisation to help us hold together, make visible and track all work and value that is developed and delivered within our Portfolio.

We find that no other tool allows us to consolidate work into easy to understand views, co-ordinate and predict business outcomes as well as well as make visible the strategy to execution to ensure alignment across the portfolio.

It will definitely work in an environment where you want to measure and track delivery of work to business outcomes and make this work transparent and visible to all levels of the organisation

Its mainly an Agile tool - it can be used as a standard Project management tool however will require a bit of customisation
