Planview Enterprise 11

This version of the Planview Enterprise 11 Project Portfolio Management System provides an interface that is tailored to tailor your environment to your needs. Previously, PPM systems were used mainly for IT project management, Planview explains, but now business units are also beginning to use them. The interface and functionality had to be redesigned with this in mind.

Planview Enterprise has implemented a number of new metrics in recent years: income, equivalent working hours, and so on. Different departments need to track different metrics - product developers are more interested in sales and equivalent working hours, while IT departments focus on spending and using resources.

The package start screen interface uses a button ribbon to call up graph creation tools, critical metrics, notifications, and other functions. Navigation on the ribbon, according to the developers, is more visible and more effective than traditional menus. The package architecture has also been rebuilt. A system for searching for functions has been added, tools for composing plans, tracking arbitrary deadlines and other improvements have been introduced.
