I like that it is highly flexible when setting up your board views. It has your typical Scrum and Kanban view. With just those two basic views, you can build many different board views according to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? Since it is not a pure Scrum board, prioritization does not work well here. You would need to state which of the User Stories has higher priority implicitly, and the ordering may or may not get messed up depending on your views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IBM Targetprocess: If you have a smaller budget and want to move away from Trello, definitely give TP a try, especially if you're still not big enough and don't need all the fancy stuff that JIRA has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? We were trying to visualize all of our Product works for the Engineering team to pick up. I would say one of the benefits I appreciate with Targetprocess is its flexibility, which is something I find lacking with JIRA or Trello Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Targetprocess is easy to customize to what works best for your project. If you need more, you can add whatever you need, like setting up different views to help keep track of the standing of your projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? Targetprocess takes a long time to get used to because so much can be added to it.

Senior Pricing Analyst/Deal Desk Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 11/17/2020 "Helped us a lot with complex projects and investments." 4.5/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? Outstanding pricing system, easy to put in place so the implementation/training of expert solutions are class that is first. The application is effective and also works with various methods to Agile/Agile Scrum, and also includes pre built application solutions like sound. Our company was all set up in an extremely short period of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? Because we're an international company, there was no great way to link customers on the tasks together with the capability to bring responses on the cards without buying a licence. In particular situations, there have been over ten participants taking part in the project who'd have extremely limited interactions. This would not seem sensible to buy a licence for all people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IBM Targetprocess: After seeing several of the videos, it looked as we appreciated the adaptability to make our customized processes. It was truly cool to have the ability to seamlessly transport cards around teams depending on the position of theirs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? Targetprocess helps us a great deal to handle a complicated project, with numerous teams doing work in tandem on an extensive product roadmap. My realization was to be able to be well worth the investment, teams must make use of most of the functions as well as metrics which could be grown. Based on the client 's task management, it wasn't feasible to properly use sprints as well as create metrics in particular scenarios. In all those situations, we wound up migrating to a different device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite RH Rhonny H. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/3/2020 "the reports issued by targetprocess are very complete" 4/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? Provides an excellent tool to design agile methodologies that allow a more efficient approach to the activities or tasks that are pending to be developed in my business. In addition, the design of its interface is responsive, allowing full adaptation to different devices. Speaking a little about consumer support, it is quite effective in solving the problems that may arise, in addition to responding in fairly short periods of time, so I do not stay stuck waiting for a response from them. The reports it issues are quite complete and very well designed, which provides information of ideal weight for decision-making within the organization or simply to adapt processes within it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? The customization of the views of the entities is somewhat poor, which does not allow a custom design of them. Prices are somewhat expensive, which is a disadvantage for small companies since they lose sight of the benefits that this system offers them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? It was used as a tool to design new development strategies within my company, since we were looking for a tool that would allow us to design and structure new adaptation mechanisms to the needs that the current world demands, and we consider that through this application We could take that first step, since it presents many approaches to agile methodologies, which are the ones that are dominating the current market.

Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/25/2020 "Awesome software and the best support I've ever experienced" 5/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? Target Process is the perfect app for someone who isn't afraid to get into the details and likes to configure things. It is incredibly configurable and adaptable. There is hardly anything I want to do that I can't find a way to do, and they are continually improving it. It has a wide selection of plugins, customizations, mashups, automation capabilities, an API and commercial integrations. And the pricing is reasonable enough for a small business to afford. And the tech support is honestly superb - I've never gotten this kind of support from ANY company for anything. Even on a free trial they respond quickly, helpfully, in detail - and the support people know their stuff! None of the ridiculous scripted responses - these folks know the product backwards and forwards and are always helpful -and they're honest when the software simply can't do anything. They also have a public suggestion list you can vote on - and they pay attention to what customers need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? There's not much to dislike about it - I'm almost afraid to recommend it too strongly because I'm afraid they'll grow too fast and not be able to keep things up as they are now. If there was one thing I would like to see change - it would be this: right now, the assumption is that every resource tracked in the system is also an active user, who needs a license. There's no real ability to track work assignments and resource availability on people who are not also licensed users. This is perfectly reasonable if you are following the intended model of each resource taking their assignments from the system and updating as they progress. However, if you have a model where a smaller group of managers track the work of a larger group of people , you will have to pay for licenses for everyone. There are ways to get around this but then you lose some of the capabilities of the software. I would like for them to allow assigning work to users who don't necessarily log into the system and use it - either by having a concept of a "passive" user (perhaps at a reduced cost) or else by not requiring assignments to be tied to licensed users. I recognize that this may not be an issue in many businesses however. One thing I haven't been able to do with it, that would be helpful is have it send notifications based on calculations with dates - eg send a notification when the current date is x days before the date in a date field. It's possible that this can be done using the API or the most recent automation updates - I haven't looked at this recently but it wasn't possible a while back. The timeline calendar views are a bit clumsy to use - you can't just select a standard time scale (quarter, month, week) . The date picker doesn't have a Today button so sometimes you have to scroll through a long range of dates to get where you want. This is surprising given how thoughtful most of the product is. And the controls for timeline views are rather unintuitive compared to almost everything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IBM Targetprocess: I don't have a lot of experience with similar tools so I can't really compare it well. I initially chose it because of the capabilities and because it was affordable for a tiny business. The UI and configuration can be quirky at times - but I love how much customization it affords. It doesn't offer much in terms of dependencies in the way that MS Project does - but it also doesn't bog you down with Project's rigidity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? I've used the software in a variety of ways - for the intended use case of software development (very small business), for tracking projects in a more general way, and I've adapted it for use in a completely different use case. Really - it's great stuff. I've not used the strategy and road mapping much yet - but they look quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sales Director Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/6/2019 "Targetprocess" 4.5/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? With a powerful infrastructure and renowned visualization functionality, Targetprocess offers improved power to manage its desktop interface on a mobile application platform. Available for Android and iOS devices, Targetprocess provides instant access to various projects wherever you are. After logging in to your account, the various boards you have created are arranged in a streamlined UX interface. At first, the system may be crowded. This is especially important if you have been assigned several tables. However, each column of the array is unfolded and folded. Prevent the feeling overwhelmed by an infinite number of boards by zooming in on just one board at a time. Access to project whiteboards is easy, but what about tracking progress? The included messaging interface offers a secure and stable communication portal — convenient access to private messages with other team members or access to group chats in a simple layout. The intuitive messaging system is native to your device, minimizing communication errors. In addition to the basic design and task overview, Targetprocess mobile application allows you to add new tasks such as additional project features, bug reports, and user histories. Combined with a dynamic search interface that allows you to search for tasks, comments, and tasks, you can stay up to date with the latest developments and events wherever you work.

Designed to simplify agile application designs, the mobile application interface delivers Targetprocess power in the palm of your hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
