Description of WorkOtter

WorkOtter is a simple, flexible, and scalable project portfolio management (PPM) solution for IT, Engineering, and Professional Service PMOs. The software manages the lifecycle of work from ideas through project planning, control, lessons learned, and close. Projects can then be rolled up to Programs (multi project efforts) or Portfolios (Roadmaps with What If Scenarios). All features were designed to support Project Teams with simplicity and usability in mind. WorkOtter offers Gantt, Kanban, and Agile views and integrates directly with JIRA, MS Project, Excel, and more. Our elegant and interactive interface is a favorite of project teams who want to focus on getting work done verses struggling with complex tools. WorkOtter resource management features enables businesses to move assignments from over-utilized staff to available resources. It helps project managers plan daily demand or capacity based on the number of resources available for the day. The web-based calendar displays entire project schedules along with extensions and deadlines. WorkOtter integrates and synchronizes data between multiple third-party applications such as Dropbox, Sharepoint, Outlook, Office 365, Box, Google Drive and more. Other key features include project budgeting, time & expense tracking, Earned Value management, financial reporting, lessons learned, and real-time alerts.

Great tool for managing software development

This product is very easy to use and setup with our organization. It has helped us to track projects from initiation to completion. We can easily identify what resources are working on what project and when it was started and completed. As we have multiple teams working in different locations this enables me as the project manager to stay on top of all projects at once. I do not like that sometimes you need to search quite some time to find something out. When you need it most - you can't…

Pros
  • All necessary information about my jobs comes together quickly..no more double dipping!!!!! Love having real time data available instead
Cons
  • Good but not great

A solid solution for project management needs

I liked that it was user friendly as far as creating projects/portfolio's are concerned which helped in keeping track of my tasks along with their status at all times. Also able to assign resources easily using tags helps me keep an eye over them while they're working away on different task sets hence reducing any risk factors associated with not being aware about each other's progress. It also provides us transparency into our workflow so we don't have to guess what someone else has been doing

Pros
  • It has a very easy to use and easy to use mobile app
Cons
  • Sometimes there can be a slight delay between your actions vs theirs which can make it difficult to compare the two

Easy Project Management Tool for Small Teams

I like that it's easy enough that my team members who are not developers could use this tool without any training at all! It was very helpful in creating our Roadmap so we knew what projects were important vs those which would just take time away from more critical ones. In order to get started you need someone technical as well since there isn't much out-of-the box functionality but once everything gets set up properly it works quite nicely. There wasn't anything about the product itself that…

Pros
  • It's very intuitive and easy to use
Cons
  • Some of the "out of the box" functionality isn't great (like the report builder) but you can customize pretty much everything
