Migrate your Planview PPM Pro data
Mid-tier PPM tool for PMOs seeking portfolio visibility, resource management, and financial tracking without full enterprise complexity.
In its favor
Why people choose Planview PPM Pro
The signal that keeps Planview PPM Pro on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Portfolio-level visibility at a price below Planview Enterprise One — mid-market PMOs get structured project intake, capacity planning, and financial tracking without full enterprise licensing complexity.
Strong Gantt charting and project timeline management with configurable views and dashboards suited to executive reporting cycles.
Time tracking and resource allocation features allow PMOs to track team utilization against project budgets and capacity in a single tool.
Demand management module collects and prioritizes project requests before they enter the pipeline, giving PMOs a structured intake gate.
Integrates with the broader Planview ecosystem (Hub, AdaptiveWork, AgilePlace) for organizations that already use Planview tooling.
Stalled product development and vague roadmap have customers worried the platform is being sunset, with no clear commitment from Planview on future investment.
Steep learning curve on the costing and financial modules — users report needing significant training before those features become usable.
Performance degrades noticeably for organizations with large portfolios or users in non-US regions, making day-to-day usage frustrating.
Outdated and unintuitive user interface compared to modern PM tools, creating friction for new user adoption and reducing team satisfaction scores.
Pricing opacity — no public per-user or tier pricing — forces lengthy sales cycles that smaller teams cannot justify.

What gets migrated
Planview PPM Pro object support
Object-by-object support for Planview PPM Pro migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Portfolios
Fully supportedPortfolios are top-level containers holding Programs and Projects. We export the full portfolio hierarchy including portfolio-level financials and strategic alignment scores. The destination must support hierarchical portfolio structures.
Programs
Fully supportedPrograms group related Projects under a Portfolio. We preserve program-level budgets, status, and owner assignments. Where the destination has no Program object, we flatten Programs into Projects and tag them with a Program reference custom field.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the core work unit in PPM Pro with fields for status, start/end dates, priority, owner, budget, and strategic alignment. We migrate all standard fields and map custom User-Defined Fields as properties.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks belong to Projects and carry start/end dates, percent complete, assignees, dependencies, and effort hours. We preserve WBS hierarchy and Gantt dependency links. Dependencies are reconstructed at the destination using its native dependency model.
Resources
Mapping requiredResources represent people or roles with capacity, skills, and utilization data. We map Resource records including availability calendars and role assignments. Department and cost-center mappings vary by destination and may require manual review.
Time Entries
Mapping requiredTime entries record hours logged against Projects and Tasks by Resources. We export the full timesheet history with dates, hours, and cost codes. Some destinations do not support billable vs. non-billable hour flags, which we preserve as a custom property.
Demand Requests
Mapping requiredDemand Requests capture project intake before formal approval. They include requester, estimated effort, priority, and status. Not all destination PPM tools have a demand-management object, so we merge these into a Project backlog or custom object as appropriate.
Custom User-Defined Fields
Mapping requiredPPM Pro supports User-Defined Fields of type Text, Number, Date, and Dropdown on Projects and Tasks. Custom field definitions and their values are exported as properties. We handle attribute-level data and re-create dropdown option sets at the destination.
Financials / Budgets
Mapping requiredProject-level budget records include planned cost, actual cost, labor cost, and expense line items. We export budget data and flag currency mismatches. Some destination tools do not support multi-level budget hierarchies, so we flatten to the project level.
Attachments
Not in this platformPPM Pro stores file attachments against Projects and Tasks, but the platform does not expose a public attachment download API. We cannot programmatically retrieve attachment binary content. We document which records have attachments so the customer can manually migrate them if needed.
Dashboards and Reports
Not in this platformDashboards and saved reports are proprietary PPM Pro configurations tied to the application's reporting engine. We do not migrate these directly. We export the underlying data so reports can be rebuilt in the destination tool.
Users
Mapping requiredUser records include name, email, role, and active/inactive status. We export the full user roster. Active/inactive status mapping and role-to-permission translation depend on the destination platform and are handled during the mapping phase.
