Centralized workflows have improved cross‑team alignment and made portfolio planning transparent
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Targetprocess is centralized intake and workflow management, and we do the integrations.
We use Targetprocess for centralized intake and workflow management, including integrations with Jira and building intake forms. The product helps us to track our requests all in one place.

Targetprocess has positively impacted our organization by reducing waste through maximizing integrations, allowing us to move away from manual rate management and tracking, enabling greater visibility to portfolio change management, and enabling us to become more data-driven. It provides transparency of change data so we can regularly inspect and adapt, and we have reduced costs in comparison to the previous supplier by thirty-five percent.
What needs improvement?
I would love Targetprocess to have the ability to only open three windows at a time, as it is an unnecessary constraint, and I hope IBM will get this on the change roadmap.
We are currently navigating support options, which appear to differ by actual product, so there is room to create some consistency there, as it is a bit confusing.
Dashboards with large data sets can cause performance lags or time-outs, and introducing more flexible, template-based RBAC configuration would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Targetprocess for almost five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Targetprocess is very stable, although when dealing with huge data sets, the dashboard seems to lag.

What other advice do I have?
I rate Targetprocess an eight out of ten because the usability is good, and the tool is easy to use with features that most organizations can utilize; however, additional features such as artificial intelligence integration would enhance the tool's overall usability, and providing additional dashboards for specific roles and executives within the tool would benefit Targetprocess with its scale.
My advice to others looking into using Targetprocess is that it is best used when there is a program or initiative that is being kicked off; it is less appropriate when it is in-flight or towards the end of its implementation. I appreciate the ability to integrate with other tools, specifically with IBM tools, which allows organizations that have already invested in IBM tools such as Cloudability to integrate and use the product quickly and easily. It is a very recommendable tool because it has had a significant positive impact on our organization, and the ability of Targetprocess to integrate with other tools has dramatically increased productivity by cutting down the time to market and project planning by half.
Overall, project planning and better awareness for resources, programs, investments, and the portfolio available for a particular initiative that is being managed or deployed by Targetprocess is seamless.
