We started using Apptio Targetprocess early in our SAFe adoption implementation. Initially we were looking for a tool to assist us with doing online only PI Planning during COVID lockdown instead of an online visual board. Once we saw the first demo we realised that we had found the perfect tool to not only manage PI Planning but to manage our full Agile implementation and Agile Release Train end to end from PI to PI as it integrated well with JIRA and had incredible reporting functionality and allowed us to visual all work and allowed us to manage all the Portfolio Epics and resultant work items in a truly Agile and coherent way.
- Self service reporting per team rolled up to multiple levels from Agile team to ART up to Portfolio
- Integration with JIRA
- Usability and friendly ease of use for non technical users

We Use Targetprocess as our System of Record for all the work that our Product Development and Operations Teams. With integration options that Targetprocess provides in our case its with the Azure DevOps, it is very easy to interact between the two applications and keep track of all the items. The best part about Targetprocess is you do not have to navigate between two application (Jira and Jira Align) for things like Program Board.

We use Apptio Targetprocess for all of our agile teams as well as multiple teams who have seen the tool and have asked to track their work in it also. We use Apptio Targetprocess as our source of truth for all our IT work. All IT related initiatives or epics are kept and updated here for us to provide transparency to the IT leadership group about the current state, trials, and tribulations, etc. We have employees around the globe using the tool. Apptio Targetprocess helps provide transparency to the work around the globe and allows our global team members to work better together. Prior to implementing Apptio Targetprocess, we had worked in so many different places and applications. This tool has made a huge difference in allowing everyone to understand the work that is in progress and what still to be done; having one place to go to see everyone's work has made a big difference to our team members and stakeholders alike.
- Extremely flexible: We are able to setup work for different groups in ways that work best for them.
- Fantastic support group: They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoy working with them.
- Automation: Their automation capabilities have saved us a lot of time.
- Customizing screens: We can go into code for the different entities, move fields around or hide them, add tabs or additional sections as needed to make for a streamlined user experience.
- Reporting: Their reporting is flexible and phenomenal. There are so many different ways to pull data and the interface is easy to use.
- Their user guide is well built and extremely helpful.
