Targetprocess – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

The process of destiny allows having certain organization of style in our beginning and the entities can have many relations. You can have a project that contains epic songs composed of stories separated by tasks, it's great. allows you to easily add images in the online editor.
It has visibility for tasks. Easily visualizing which task is assigned to each person. Easily customizable to configure the WIP and the rules around it. It has contributed greatly to increasing our daily productivity and the level of transparency has increased.

Nachteile

One of my complaints could be, the dragging of tasks through the plates, since it still presents me with certain errors. This should be fixed as soon as possible, because it is delayed even in the best machines and regardless of the configuration we previously made.

Vorteile

Very easy and simple to use as compared to other tools like JIRA which can be difficult to configure.

Visualization is great and the interface is very intuitive which really helps.

Its modular design makes it easy to customize and modify it as per the requirements.

Constantly improving.

Reporting.

Its cost effective as compared to its other counter parts which makes it popular among early stage start ups.

Nachteile

For me there are no major issues with Targetprocess, its just sometimes the performance is not up to the mark.

The query language has also some minor bugs which I think will be fixed in the near future.

Vorteile

Targetprocess really allowed us to customize the tool to fit how we do business and manage our projects. The customizable boards really helped us see the data in the right way fort he right scenario. We could move our projects through the SDLF with ease with Targetprocess.

Nachteile

As a Project Manager it took a bit of getting used to the 'code-like' filtering and queries. Once I got the hang of it, I was much more comfortable. Also, there were a few views (like Projects by Requester) that were missing initially, but I think they have added that since.

Vorteile

I love the flexibility of access to this product. I can even access it on my phone if I need to look up a user story to see what state it is in.

Nachteile

So far we don't have found any negatives. We have added custom fields and made suggestions, but all and all this is a very good product.

Vorteile

Target Process offers a lot of functionality to make it very useful for most organizations, large and small. I particularly like that it combines all normal ALM functions with basic PM functionality to track progress. I also like that it isn't just focused on software and Agile, but allows you to adapt it to your needs. We use it for both hardware and software with equal effectiveness. Customer support is excellent and they will even perform supported customization for you.

Nachteile

Learning to use the views isn't intuitive and lacks the ease of use of an advanced search to find the items you're looking for. The test functionality is a bit of an after thought and doesn't allow some needed features, like reuse of test steps and test parameters. We use this to manage all requirements and there is no easy way to get those into a nice printable format. I know they are working on more item customization, but I'm use to TFS and having complete control over the fields, layout, and rules.

Vorteile

1. Features & Stories list view
2. Consistency
a. Done is always visible in Grey
b. Green + button to add stories, tasks etc
3. Customization of boards and views
4. Reports
5. Clean UI
6. Information found in the burn down chart details
7. Timesheet view for our teams

Nachteile

1. Sometime performance is slow
2. Wish I could add points, tasks, hours to Bugs.
Workaround - we make everything a user story and put the word "BUG:" at the beginning of the story/task and set it up to automatically turn red.
3. Sometimes can get lost trying to create a report/board etc and it does not feel intuitive

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Targetprocess

Vorteile

State of the art information handling.
Fast.
Designed around Intuitivity, Speeed, Flexibility and Order.
Eye catching design. Cutomizable where needed.
Easy reports.
Superb onlie chat and tuting support, free.

Nachteile

Cosmetical improvements needed on:
Can copy-paste photos (Very important), but can't paste entire texts with more photos (yet).
Can easily customize my screen, but can't add own fields on primary view.

Vorteile

Self-service dashboards, no internal hosting efforts, easily scalable, fast and efficient.

Nachteile

Only minor issues, all our basic needs (SaaS, fast and reliant, easy and lean to configure) are met.

Vorteile

The flexibility this software is capable of providing is second to none.

Nachteile

I found it necessary to train users when introducing them to the software partly because the GUI isn't entirely intuitive.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use without a doubt, its graphics are really great and pleasant for any user. Nowadays, moving cards with respect to our work processes is fast and very organized, we create, edit and assign cards in a simple way thanks to Targetprocess.

Nachteile

It is quite incostante the update, sometimes it is automatic and other times we must do it manually. To be such a powerful tool, that kind of inconsistency should not be seen.

Vorteile

Easy to use - 2D drag-and-drop for cards in Iteration Plan mode is intuitive and straightforward. Quick to create new cards, assign them to features & releases & sprints, etc. Plenty of ability to customize for smaller organizations, no need to slog through lots of mandatory fields, steps, etc.

Nachteile

UI is sometimes touchy, especially on a small screen. Dragging a card to a new state, paging forward & back through iterations.
I wish you could define defaults for things like the Project field when creating a new card - right now it defaults to alphabetical order.

Vorteile

- very visual
- easy to configure to a variety of processes
- comes with pre-defined library of dashboard templates
- has great documentation
- is well maintained and supported

Nachteile

- takes a while to load on the first use
- requires initial training session to understand all concepts

Vorteile

Works very well for the actual creation and collaboration work around users stories in an agile project environment. The cloud/SAAS prodcut

Nachteile

Tracking and reporting at a project level is still very weak. The ability to easily roll things up to a project level is still very difficult and the internal reporting abilities is still lacking. Even the most basic information has to be extracted to Excel or another reporting tool. Would help to have some basic end-user reporting functionality.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Targetprocess

Vorteile

Has all the necessary features for our scrum project management

Nachteile

A little cumbersome. We had some glitches that took a while to get fixed. Some UI features were lacking for a while too (which have now been added) - such as being able to drag and drop multiple stories up or down in the backlog.

Vorteile

Highly flexible and configurable solution
Open and well documented entity model
Simple and good API for integrations
Easy to create and connect entities between projects and releases

Nachteile

I don't like that there is no starting point for projects other than the boards. It is not always easy to navigate to the entity that you want to find.

Vorteile

Stability, Flexibility, Feature updates, New functionality, regular releases of updated

Nachteile

There is no need for this section...

Vorteile

The software is fairly versatile in hownitncan be applied. We use it across all departments from very technical use of many features and workflows in engineering to the basic email request features in non-technical departments.

Nachteile

It has a bit of a usability learning curve I’ve been told by newer users.

Vorteile

The different view you can generate to answer my questions.

I love how you also have auxiliary products like the help desk. It's not the best help desk, but it does more than the basics, and that more than enough :)

Nachteile

I really hate the text editor - the lack of available keyboard shortcuts to be exact.
Written specs are core of our tasks, we'd love to be able to write them down and style (bullet points, and urls) them without using the mouse.

Vorteile

The beauty of TargetProcess is in its flexibility. When we started using TP we tweaked it all kinds to track our workflow the way we wanted. Over time our process has moved a bit more true to "pure" scrum and many of those customizations have gone away. We still have tweaks here and there to track extra info or to track things just how we like, but in general the tool is right on the money.

Nachteile

Some of the default calculations aren't what we'd prefer. For example: the sum total of points in a feature only includes stories, not bugs. We've worked around that though.

Vorteile

TargetProcess is a great system with lots of possibilities to expand and create extentions.

Nachteile

For a new user it can be overwelming, but when you give it some attention, time and effert it is a great tool

Vorteile

We use targetprocess to keep track of our tickets and progress. I do like that it responds quickly and functionality of it is great.
We are able to have multiple people use this and add comments to tickets/issues which helps in communication with our team.

Nachteile

It is a big hard to use. The layout makes it a bit confusing. Perhaps if there was more of "how to" videos or a better implementation aid for new users, this would help

Vorteile

The filters to see the progress of the different projects

Nachteile

Hard for me to repeat what I have already written on my stand up meetings.

Vorteile

We utilize TP daily for all of our project tracking and testing purposes. We have multiple product software suites that we continually maintain/update, and using TP allows us to easily coordinate and plan the hierarchy of those enhancements. We use this for testing new enhancements, as well as production issues and additional feature request enhancements.

Nachteile

When pulling reporting and exporting to CVS, there are limitations to the number of records that can be exported. We have learned to filter down our reporting and pull in multiple requests.

Vorteile

It's easy to use; the customer support is second to none; it gives me the ability to run the project the way I want to run the project, not the way that someone else defines; it gives us total flexibility to track bugs separately from stories and tasks.

Nachteile

From time to time the interface seems to just get confused, and requires me to close the windows and start fresh. This happens significantly less then it used to though, so it's down to once every few weeks.

Vorteile

Ease of use and constant improvements.

Nachteile

For me, there seems to be some obvious functionality that is not included such as duplicating user stories, tasks, test cases and such.

Vorteile

The way views can be created and customized is really awesome and the visual encoding feature is great to highlight cards based on their properties. I use tag-based colors a lot!
I also love how easily I can notify a specific user while writing a comment.
A few weeks ago, I started using Targetprocess API to automatically build the changelog and the release note of our software and I was impressed to get it to work so quickly.

Nachteile

Setting up notifications based on card transitions is not so easy.
I would also like to restrict card transitions based on user roles.

Vorteile

What I like most about Targetprocess is that I can associate the processes with existing tools in order to guarantee a constant workflow in the groups that are involved. It really is very useful and what is impressive is how easy it is to use.

Nachteile

What I did not like is its interface, it needs to be more intuitive. But it's still easy to use and it's very efficient.

Vorteile

It gives me maximum visibility. It provided great flexibility--I can do just about anything I can think of.

Nachteile

There are some additional features that I want that they don't have...but no one else has them either.

Vorteile

Flexibility, extensibility, ease of use, support.

Nachteile

Learning curve can be steep for new users, given the flexibility of its views.

Vorteile

Extreme flexibility, with a solution for every workflow in a software development environment

Nachteile

Tough to set up initially, without a sharp couple of folks to own it, learn it, and get it going in the org.

Vorteile

Targetprocess is a very versatile tool that allows you to customize a lot of the workflow and cards. I loved working with this tool after I got past the UI.

Nachteile

The Interface is a bit harsh. Once you learn the ins and outs of the tool, it grows on you. It was great for Product Management.

Vorteile

What I like the most is the product adaptability. each team here can define their own process while using the same tool.

Nachteile

We have 40-50 people distributed in 5-8 teams, it's comum share public views and reports. For those who need a global view, it's easy to get lost with time, with uncountable views and discontinued entities.

Vorteile

Simple to use, logical, easy to get a quick overview or to drill down in to the details. Its really flexibel - lots of pre-defined templates to start from (Scrum, Kanban, Test etc) but you can set it up exactly how you what to suit your needs. Also great support if you need help.

Nachteile

Miss a connection to dropbox and the UI could be better (one pm had an issue using it because it didn't look cool - true story).
Also in "in-system communication" system is not as good as i.e. Trello, especially with the app. (But we use a web-hook to connect it to Slack which is really cool :-) )

Vorteile

Very reliable. Fully customizable. Easy to use. Full of features. Very modern.

Vorteile

Very easy to get up and running, was able to implement the software they way I felt suited my developer's processes.

Nachteile

It has a lot of functionality - more than my team will ever use, a smaller (cheaper) option would be nice, I raised this with support, they have had the request before but it isnt easy to create a smaller product that would suit everyone, fair point.

Vorteile

It is one of the best software to use while working on agile methodology. One can track one's own progress within the project.Found issues in the project can be reported with the help of targetprocess and assign to the particular developer.

Nachteile

I don't think there is any major bug in this product.It works fine in my case.

Vorteile

The web UI, filtering and searching capabilities. The product allows us to manage a development team whose time is split across projects. I especially like the introduction of Team Iterations, rather than Project Iterations so it is possible to manage set periods of time into which a team can report across multiple projects.

Nachteile

Some actions are more difficult to do in bulk than in their previous web interface (v2). I hope it will be introduced soon.
It would be good to have tighter integration with other common tools (GitHub, Travis etc..)

Vorteile

We used Target Process to communicate bug reports between the Customer Service Team and the Development Team. It was a good tool as we were able to clearly write all the attributes and keep track of the progress of the bug report, it really helped with communication once it was properly set.

Nachteile

The only bad thing about it is that as it is such an open platform and you can set it up as you want, you really have to spend a lot of time at the beginning making sure that the whole organization adopts it the same way. Otherwise it will be just a mess.

Vorteile

Ease of use and versatility

Nachteile

Can be confusing if approached incorrectly

Vorteile

Easy to customize
Easy to use
very accessible

Vorteile

Ease of use, great visualization options, very good use of screenspace, lots of configuration options to tailor it to the team's or organization's situation or way of working

Nachteile

The graph advanced query/formula language is different from the query language uses in boards and a bit harder to grasp.

Vorteile

Easy to use and easily understandable, perfect for scrum agile

Nachteile

Theme a little bit dark, better if we could customize our theme with differents colors

Vorteile

Lots of flexibility to customize things as you want them.
A clear model of entities

Nachteile

It is missing some stuff, like the ability to set default efforts, improved configuration of how state changes affect parent/child relationships, etc.

Vorteile

The feature that I found incredible in it is that it can robust all the required operations, powerful automation, manual synchronization of ALM and PPM and in eliminating plugins in a wonderful way. The integration is my best part in it which improves the productivity of my work. Apart from this web based application allows you to perform field mapping in a better way.

Nachteile

Rarely certain errors occurs but that was nothing bigger to be mentioned otherwise indeed a good application for all purposes. There is really no major thing to be dislike about it.

Vorteile

Ease of use when you want to create a new board, also the boards configuration is very powerful, with lots of possibilites of filtering and visualization tips. Despite this, if you have any doubt or question you can contact with their support team by on-line chat, every time I contacted they have solved my doubts.

Nachteile

Lack of information and/or manuals about DSL language to edit or build new reports.
In our case the notification system don't work properly and seems to send messages to people who do not have to receive them.

Vorteile

* Flexibility to any agile workflow
* Ability to easily integrate a versatile agile workflow on any team
* Constantly expanding feature set (have used TargetProcess for many years now)

Nachteile

* Mostly minor UX items; at times drag and drop is out of sync with what you just did, sometime things update slowly

Vorteile

Targetprocess supplys almost all views for me to manage my projects.

Nachteile

The source codes reviewing function is too weak.

Vorteile

Versatile, flexible and intuitive tool to manage teams/projects/roadmaps

Nachteile

segregation of roles and responsibilities

Vorteile

Nice interface in general, easy to use.
Intuitive way of assigning work for certain releases.

Nachteile

Filter functionality is good, but a bit "messy" and not very user-friendly.
There is no really good way (that I have found) to highlight milestones and User Stories/Features/Epics in the time plan.
