By Business Wire On Aug 1, 2024

Organizations’ imperative to combat waste in digital transformation initiatives drives Planview momentum

Planview, the leading end-to-end platform for Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) and Digital Product Development (DPD), reports on the adoption of recent product innovations that drive the future of connected work. These innovations connect project and product initiatives across the enterprise to accelerate the speed and impact of transformation. Organizations require bi-directional visibility and governance to create tighter alignment between strategies and teams, actionable artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance predictability and informed decision-making, and personalized user experiences to up-level productivity.

“We are uniquely positioned to give organizations a connected view of all their work and initiatives, in the context of their demand and capacity, to make timely prioritization and planning decisions.”

“Business leaders are under tremendous pressure to cut costs while delivering business outcomes and innovation. Disconnected tools and dated operating models block their progress,” said Dr. Mik Kersten, Chief Technology Officer, Planview and author of the bestselling book Project to Product: How to Survive and Thrive in the Age of Digital Disruption with the Flow Framework.
