| Translated by Julian Hammer
Le Bihan has tested PLANTA’s software in cooperation with projektmagazin.de, the biggest German language project management platform. The assessment focused on the functional scope and quality of the solutions.
Strengths of the PLANTA Software
93 % overall rating in the software assessment – but in which areas is PLANTA particularly convincing?
Top ratings in the following categories:
- Task management
- Customizability
- Resource management
- Portfolio planning & management
- Project planning & controlling
Weaknesses of the PLANTA software
Although the PM software is convincing in many areas, there are also weaknesses.
Budget & Costs: Complete Except for One Functionality
PLANTA offers complete cost and budget planning, but no invoicing or similar financial functions. For this reason, we received the lowest rating in the budget & costs category. However, PLANTA’s integration options make it very easy to connect an appropriate tool.
Agile Project Management: 55% in Scaled Agility
While agile project management received an excellent rating of 98% overall, the issue of scaling remains a challenge. Companies with large, distributed teams could encounter limitations here.
Hybrid Project Management with PLANTA: The Best of Two Worlds?
Many companies not only rely on traditional or agile methods, but combine both approaches. But how well does PLANTA support hybrid project management?
Flexible interaction between traditional and agile planning
- Project managers use Gantt charts & resource planning, while
- teams teams can work with Kanban boards or Scrum
Synchronization of data from both worlds
- PLANTA allows you to transfer work packages from traditional planning as agile tasks
- This allows a PMO to work with traditional portfolio management while teams react flexibly to changes
Conclusion: PLANTA facilitates the transition to hybrid methods for companies by synchronizing agile working with traditional planning processes.
