PLANTA Soft­ware Assess­ment 2024: Strengths and Weak­ne­s­ses of the PM Soft­ware in the Assesment

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.
