According to Gartner, “Market interest in project and portfolio management (PPM) applications remains high among IT management, as CIOs continue to report the high priority in 2006 of such PPM-related issues as delivering projects for business growth that are tightly linked to business strategies.”
“We believe Planview continues to deliver the most comprehensive IT management platform on the market today, and our innovative strategy, vision, and strong market presence will help us extend our leadership within and beyond PPM,” said Patrick Durbin, founder and chief executive officer of Planview, Inc. “We are proud to be positioned in the leaders quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management Applications.

Our customer commitment over the past sixteen years drives us to raise the bar for project and portfolio management solutions.”
To determine the PPM leaders, Gartner conducted surveys and vendor briefings, reviewed product demonstrations, spoke with vendor references, and ultimately positioned the PPM vendors based on their “ability to execute” and “completeness of vision”. The ’Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management Applications’ report evaluated vendors based on six key categories including viability, management team, track record, functional depth, customer service and support and execution.
