Keep IBM Targetprocess, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of IBM Targetprocess you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. IBM Targetprocess’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is IBM Targetprocess?
IBM Targetprocess is a strategic portfolio management platform now sold by Apptio, an IBM company. It covers strategic planning, portfolio and dependency management, resource and capacity management, and financial integration with IT finance data. Teams can run work in agile, hybrid or traditional ways while staying tied to enterprise priorities.
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; the product page points to a demo request and a free trial.
- The product is now sold under the IBM and Apptio names, and its old Targetprocess website redirects there.
- It is aimed at enterprise portfolio and IT finance teams, so a small team that only needs task tracking is not the target buyer.
