ITM Platform

Benefits:

I have tried several similar programs but the most complete one has been ITM where you can program and observe the progress of your resources, create projects and assign the value of them among many other things.

Drawbacks:

Something that does not seem nice to me or that I could improve is the part of hours, it would be much more pleasant if only the working days were observed, that is, observing the holidays.

Benefits:

Using the kamban panel is easy, because you can move the tasks in execution and those already finished. The hours part is very functional, and helps to keep an efficient daily record of tasks and activities.

Drawbacks:

In the gantt diagrams, having to move the baseline when it is required to lengthen some task, that does not allow to see an indicator comparing it with the beginning of the project as it was provided, to which it currently goes.

In sum:

Indicators of projects

Benefits:

ITM is a flexible platform useful not only to control individual project execution, but to control the whole project porfolio. It's a tool useful for the Project Manager, the Project staff and also for management. It has all functionalities we needed at a reasonable price.

Drawbacks:

Integration with other tools may be improved

In sum:

We are using ITM to control operations for our team of consultants. Its simplicity and flexibility allowed us to deploy and train people very quicky. We are planning to extend our use to ITM to other areas.

Benefits:

I like the possibility to control work time and the tasks assigned to it

Drawbacks:

At first I did not understand very well how it is handled the income of times

In sum:

I like it, because it helps me organize my working day and thus work efficiently

Benefits:

The simplicity The functions The information that can make you see the real stato of your projects

Drawbacks:

The project manager license has too little functions

In sum:

My name is Macarena, and I work as a "project analyst" in a chilean company. It's name is Fleischmann, and we are specialized ir electrical engeneering, system control and climatization for big buildings. The managers where looking for a solution to the inestability and disorder of the design department, so they wanted to start controlling the worked hours of the members of the design team. I was incharged of doing the research, so I evaluated at least 12 different ERP platforms, and ITM was one of them. It was the one that I liked the most and the managers too, so we started the free trial and it is awesome how this program shows the reality of the department. ITM can do everything that we needed it for. Now we've finished the free trial, we are going to have the 1 month trial that costs $99, so we decided to include more deparments in this. Of course, we know it is not perfect, but at least it will show us all the estimated numbers that we need to understand where are we failing in this department, and although it takes a lot of time to get it in practice, we have an awesome helper to do it (Enrique Tapia).

Benefits:

Software Online, Complete platform for project management.

Drawbacks:

It is important that you can print the description of the "Tracking"

In sum:

My experience has been good, has had difficulties with the personalization of reports and I think it is important to print the description of the tab "Tracking"

Benefits:

You can use agile or clasic project management adpated with every methodology PMI, Prince2, etc...

Drawbacks:

No lifetime license and on-site solution is to expensive.

In sum:

With ITM Platform you can easily store your project data, schedule tasks and activities, collaborate with your team, upload docs. At high level, PMOs can access progress of every project in an easy-to-use portfolio.

Benefits:

ease of use, comprehensiveness, completeness and advanced features, it´s everything a program manager needs in order to complete master their projects

Drawbacks:

Sometimes implementations can be expensive and since it´s an online solution, being able to connect to the internet its paramount to use the software

Benefits:

The capability for Earn value is easy to use, and with lot of value for us, because the important thing for the managers is to see the business based on the projects performnace

Drawbacks:

it is not so easy for us to use the men hours in the Project as they are in the platform, so we track the MH out of the plantform

In sum:

more easy to track and keep in one platform all the project information, and share it by te cloud with the team members

Benefits:

Great portfolio management and program/project prioritization, along with waterfall and agile methodologies built in. We were up and running in less than a week, which is --compared to other PPM solutions I've used- Usain Bolt-like performance. We also use the bot on Slack for users who don't need to use it intensively. The support service is quite efficient --and included in the price, which again makes a difference-

Drawbacks:

Some project managers are used to MS Project on the Gantt planning part. Maybe a desktop version of the Gantt would help. It's not on Gartner's or Forrester's reports, which makes it a bit harder when it comes to make a decision.

In sum:

I have experience with many of the PPM solutions out there (Clarity, Daptiv, Planview etc) and ITM Platform allowed us to have the whole organization performing at 100%, in a very short time, with all the benefits a serious PPM solution must deliver.
