Top 3 Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) tools ? There are couple of web sites that list the top- 1. Portfolio and Project Management tools. The Gartner Magic quadrant also includes comparison of PPM vendors which should give a good indication of the market.
However, there are limitations of the top- 1. Gartner. Top- 1. 0 comparisons are based “generic selection criteria”. Many criteria not be relevant to your organisation.
Or, you may have special requirements which are not considered. Gartner Magic Quadrant does not represent the complete market place. Gartner has strict entry criteria and the participating vendors need to pay Gartner. So, if a vendor is not in the Gartner list that does not mean you should reject them. Similarly, a Gartner identified “leader” may not be a good fit for your organisation. If you are serious about Portfolio and Project Management, you have to do it yourself.
If you do not have time and expertise, outsource the selection process with clearly identified business needs. Here is my take on “Do it yourself” approach: familiarise yourself with the market placewrite down business objectivescompare of 1. Step 1: Familiarise yourself with the market place: Some may argue that business objectives should come before starting the market scan.

Here are some pointers: Top- 1. Top 1. 0 reviews web site promises to compare a wide range of products and services.
Let us start our exploration with this site: http: //online- project- management- review. Top- 1. 0 reviews compares the tools against generic selection criteria. The top- 5 tools in the list are: Their comparison table will give an idea about the common features. You will find that many tools satisfy the core features. Gartner Magic Quadrant: Gartner magic quadrant gives another perspective.
In my view, Gartner list mainly caters for larger corporate business. You may wonder why some of the “cool tools” you found the earlier top- 1. Gartner. As I said earlier, Gartner has entry criteria and not all vendors may submit their tools to be evaluated by Gartner. FMZ1. 70& ct=1. The Gartner Magic quadrant leaders in the PPM market are: Gartner’s assessment goes beyond just tool features. They will assess the vendors’ financial credibility and long term strategy. However, you have to make a fair assessment how much of the “innovative features” are going to impact your bottom line.
Can these tools act as a catalyst to fix your current bad practices in Portfolio and Project Management? Process- Symphony blog 9 PPM tools: In my previous blog I focussed on different features of PPM and gave example tools in each category. Kloudax list . It does not rank the tools but list around 1.
PPM market place. Step 2: write down business objectives. Now you have a pretty good overview of the market capability. Write down the business objectives that underpin the PPM technology investment.
Some of the considerations are: are you looking for Portfolio Management capability? MS Project. Do you have to maintain the legacy data?
For example, do you need Sharepoint and Salesforce integration? IT help desk”? are you looking for specific methodology support, Agile, Six Sigma? You find the core features of MS Project like Gantt chart, resource allocation, reporting, calendar are common in all the tools.
All the top vendors have impressive user interface. They certainly look cool and quite functional. The selection process should be driven by the additional capabilities you are looking for. If you are looking for a basic replacement, there are numerous choices. Step 3: choose 1. Here is an example of narrowing the selection. Your “top 3” or “top- 5” ranking will change depending upon the objectives.
For example, if you do not require Sharepoint/Salesforce integration you have a wider choice. If you are specific need about “IT helpdesk” capability your choice is limited. The “heat map” generated by the tool Kloudax Comparison Assistant (KCA) gives a comprehensive overview.

Ideally you need a comparison engine that searches the PPM vendor sites and gives you a “seed rating”. The good news is such a comparison engine exists.
