Planview IdeaPlace is an innovation management software solution that helps organizations run structured, time-bound challenges to capture, evaluate, and prioritize ideas from employees, partners, or external audiences. It applies natural language processing, crowd-based ranking, and expert review to narrow large volumes of ideas down to those with the highest implementation potential. IdeaPlace connects selected ideas directly into Planview Portfolios, Planview AdaptiveWork, or Planview ProjectPlace for funding, resourcing, and execution, rather than functioning as a standalone idea collection tool. It is designed for innovation leaders running enterprise innovation programs who need a governed, repeatable process in place of ad hoc idea collection through email, spreadsheets, or one-off events. Main capabilities include: • Challenge management, including challenge templates, configurable idea capture forms, and TeamTap, which lets users create and run challenges without administrator access • Idea evaluation tools such as pairwise ranking, crowd predictions, and expert review, along with NLP-based idea consolidation that removes duplicate submissions and narrows large idea pools • Innovation analytics through embedded Power BI dashboards that track idea progress, cost to impact, speed to market, and employee engagement, with OData connectivity to Tableau, Excel, and other BI tools • Program engagement features, including gamification such as badges, points, and reputation scores, social activity tools, and personalized user experiences based on skills and interests • Native integrations, including Idea to Portfolio, Idea to Project, and Idea to Delivery Teams, that move selected ideas directly into Planview Portfolios, AdaptiveWork, and ProjectPlace without manual re-entry Each challenge in IdeaPlace follows a defined lifecycle, from soft launch through ideation, expert review, pairwise ranking, and selection, with defined roles for administrators, challenge sponsors, moderators, experts, and participants. * * * Seller [Planview](https://www.g2.com/sellers/planview) Discussions [Planview IdeaPlace Community](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/discuss) Languages Supported Arabic, German, English, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by James Lustenader (Director of Customer Marketing at Planview) Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 3 months ### Return on Investment 19 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Brightidea Innovation Management](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Brightidea Innovation Management") Brightidea Innovation Management 4.3/5(214) ](https://www.g2.com/products/brightidea-innovation-management/reviews) [ ![Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software") Qmarkets Impact-Driven Innovation Software 4.5/5(43) ](https://www.g2.com/products/qmarkets-impact-driven-innovation-software/reviews) [ ![IdeaScale](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "IdeaScale") IdeaScale 4.5/5(28) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ideascale/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/planview-ideaplace/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 61 real user reviews.

The aesthetic gives a much more professional feel to our site, and operationally, this feels like a website, which is better/more intuitive for the end user.
