SM Skanda M. Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/19/2017 "Great tool for Agile" 4.5/5 What do you like best about P4 Plan? The UI is fairly intuitive and works great. Another project that I was associated with was using this tool and I was pretty impressed by how easy is this software to use. It definitely provides a good and a clean way to combine all of our project management needs at one destination. Prior to this, we have been using sticky notes, oral tracking and some other crude tracking methods. However, with Hansoft, Agile management is more structured.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering P4 Plan: None at this point. The tool seems fairly adequate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is P4 Plan solving and how is that benefiting you? We are using hansoft for Agile. However, I am not sure what business problem we are trying to solve.

Flexibility. Hansoft is highly flexible, and the only product I evaluated that permitted combinations of Agile/SCRUM and classical scheduling within a single project. Performance (being local) is great, and reporting/analytics are better than competitors I evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All in one place. Configurable projects so that it can fit different projects. Dashboards are powerful to get good insight in what the backlog contains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about P4 Plan? Administrator part of Hansoft. More focus should be put into making it easy to administrate. User groups can only be set by administrators, should be possible for main managers also. Better visualization in terms of creating an atonomy of US and Epics. The backlog can be quite huge after a while so some sort of scrubbing feature would be much appriciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
