Visualize everything
One of the problems with work management today is that it’s difficult to see the forest through all the trees. Targetprocess makes it easy to get a distraction-free overview of your projects, with the ability to drill down or scale up for details from any level of the hierarchy.
Relations
Visualize relations between work items to quickly see and manage all dependencies and blockers.
Customize cards
Customize the information that's displayed on cards to get all important information at a glance.
Scale
Put your project data on a timeline (not a Gantt chart!) to see work over time. Set milestones to reflect important company dates.
Visual Encoding
Visual encoding can help you make better-informed decisions. Use RAG status tracking to visualize the status of work items.
Consistent data across projects, teams, tools, and departments.
It’s great to have a wealth of project data, but it won’t do you any good if you can’t understand it. Visualizations at every level of your organization’s hierarchy help you to quickly analyze your data in order to make smarter decisions faster.
One tool
Use one tool for ALM and PPM. No more Excel sheets or multiple solutions.
Scale
Scale agile using SAFe. Customize the framework over time to fit your needs.
Progress at all levels
See progress rolled up from the task level to the corresponding high-level strategic initiative.
Service Desk
Handle Customer Support, Idea Management or any other requests with our free Service Desk application.
Maximize transparency and traceability
To facilitate the best possible planning and collaboration, everyone has to be on the same page. Use Targetprocess to make sure that company vision, team activity, and your next optimal task are always just a click away.
Track and trace
See the origin, journey, and current state of every item in the system. Instantly see any changes with live updates, and highlight important information using visual encoding.
Share
Leave comments on work items and send email notifications to team members using @mentions. Share real-time boards outside of Targetprocess to keep stakeholders and customers in the loop.
Use any combination of practices and methods in your own custom process
Don’t try to shoehorn your process into an inflexible tool, and don’t assume a good software tool will solve all your process woes. A good tool on top of a bad process will only accelerate poor results. Targetprocess can help you to better understand your process by showing you what is going right and what is going wrong, so that you can make the necessary changes to improve.
Agile
Use any combination of Scrum, Kanban, and our own preset work solutions. Customize them to match your teams, or create your own solutions.
Unified high-level view
Individuals, teams, and departments can use whatever process works best for them while still maintaining a unified high-level view of teams and projects.
Custom terms
Customize the terms the system uses for work items and workflows to match your desired vernacular.
Identify and visualize problems and risks
It’s impossible to constantly oversee all problems, risks, and opportunities associated with your domain of work. That’s why Targetprocess does it for you. Customize your criterion for what constitutes risk, and get automatic notifications from the system about things you need to know.
Risk management
Compare original plans against actual work and visualize any disparity. Use our risk management solution to always be aware of all potential risks and opportunities.
Building reports
Identify conflicts with resource allocations across different teams and projects. Build custom reports and dashboards to get an idea of your current state.
Early alerts
Plan for success, but prepare for failure. Targetprocess can help you to recognize failures faster, so you waste less resources on less-than-optimal work.
Rank and prioritize according to your own custom criteria
Figuring out what work needs to be done next in a project can sometimes feel like unravelling the Gordian Knot. There’re so many different opinions and factors to consider, and it’s difficult to keep everything straight. Use Targetprocess to automatically factor in these considerations so you can make an informed decision on your best next move.
Automation
Automatically prioritize incoming work items using CD3, WSJF, MoSCoW, or your own custom requirements.
Visual encoding
Build your own process for managing project intake. Use visual encoding to flag projects that pose a threat or opportunity.
Custom reports
Use custom graphical reports to better understand how projects and work items are currently ranked.
Project Intake
Manage project requests to ensure you start with the most important and valuable work.
Manage people to optimize workloads across your organization
Management can often be chaos. It’s hard to keep track of your most important resource (people) and make sure everyone is where they need to be with the right tools to succeed. Use our People Allocation solution to manage this problem and better understand your teams’ capacities.
Transparency
Easily see who is working on what at any given time.
Visualize
Visualize current and planned allocations to make sure nobody is overloaded or underloaded.
Limits
Set WIP limits for work at any state, and customize your boards to reflect your ideal work process.
