IBM Targetprocess
What it is
IBM Targetprocess is a software-as-a-service Strategic Portfolio Management platform connecting strategy, investments, resources, delivery work, and business outcomes. Strategic planning tools capture goals and business cases, prioritize initiatives, compare scenarios, and track value and progress. Scenario Planning lets organizations build multiple plans for the same period using expected work and resource availability, then model changes such as headcount or workload. Portfolio views expose dependencies, flow, and impact to help coordinate execution and manage risk. Resource management shows capacity and demand for dynamic allocation. Teams can work in agile, waterfall, hybrid, or traditional methods while staying linked to enterprise priorities and funding decisions. The product includes requirements, test, release, and traceability management. Native Jira integration synchronizes work after an integration profile and suitable Jira permissions are configured. Documented DevOps integrations include GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, with branch and pull or merge request links. IBM offers a free trial; paid pricing is available on request.
