AD Anant D. Senior DevOps Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/6/2025 "Streamlined Project Management, Needs UI Improvements" 4/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? I find IBM Targetprocess very easy to use and appreciate its seamless integration with SSO services. I also like how it connects with Slack and Teams, creating an automated communication channel. It's great for team management and tracking, especially during Scrum meetings using the inbuilt Boards. The ease of tracking my tickets and logging time on them is a big plus, as is being able to easily see who's working on what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? UI could be better. I have faced issues such as finding spaces. When I want to fetch my personal timesheet, I need to zoom out the browser page to modify or edit a specific task time. In the time tracking UI, only the User Story is visible, not their corresponding Tasks. On the homepage of a particular user, the stories that are visible are hard to track, and there is no proper listing. There could be an AI summarizer for Stories on what tasks a user is performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? I use IBM Targetprocess for easy team management, time tracking, and Scrum meetings. It simplifies working on tasks collaboratively, with built-in Boards and a Task Dependency tracker that enhances efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT Systems Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/8/2019 "A decent tool to track Software Dev work; they have come a long way in adding features" 4/5 What do you like best about IBM Targetprocess? The current version of TargetProcess offers many different ways to configure automations, workflows and customizations. If you looked at TP even 2 years ago, the product is very different and much improved from that version. They have really listened to what we wanted out of it and done the work to roll out functionality that they didn't have before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? Some of the backend configuration requires a bit of coding. I'm not a career developer, so sometimes it takes me a little while to work through the code in order to make things work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IBM Targetprocess: Plan out your projects and processes very carefully before beginning to create cards. Once you have those in place, it can be difficult to change them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a tool that can keep track of all our software devleopment work with a few different products that we offer. We use the Epcs, Features, User Story, Tasks and Bugs in order to track the life cycle of our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial implementation is fast and easy: you can get a team started in a matter of minutes. Basic operations are simple and intuitive. It offers all the features we need, and it is easy to adapt to the way we work (custom process, custom fields, etc). Customer support is great, even for complex stuff (ex: custom automation or validation rules). Since our team use it all day, everyday, we have successfully integrated it with other products, and created custom scripts for many routine tasks using it's API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IBM Targetprocess? It's great to manage tickets and releases, but the project management features are not very useful to us. The timesheet is the most used view, and it is a popup. It doesn't refresh automatically, which is extremely annoying. A pet peeve of mine is that bugs are different than tasks: I wish there was an option so they behave exactly as tasks (ex: bugs must be created in a story). I created rules to fix that, but they sometime give us headaches when moving bugs around. Managing the backlog in TargetProcess just sucks: that's why we have integrated it with Notion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IBM Targetprocess solving and how is that benefiting you? Tracking releases, tasks, bugs, and time. We need precise time tracking for government tax credits and I was able to create scripts to ease reporting. In case of audit, we can find details about everything we have done on a particular project. We also use it to track worked hours for pay, for OKR (ex: strategic focus, defect removal efficiency).
