A key task in your project is dependent on the completion of an earlier task by your organization&#x2019;s IT or development team. However, IT and development are using their own tool to track their requirements and progress, and neither you nor anyone on your team have access to that tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2017\/02\/collaborate.jpg\" alt=\"create greater enterprise collaboration\" height=\"400\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As your milestone date approaches, you find yourself faced with two unpleasant alternatives: (1) risk missing your deadline because the IT task wasn&#x2019;t completed on time or to the right specifications, or (2) risk creating internal conflicts by continually asking for updates on how and when the IT task will be complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#x2019;ve found yourself in that situation, you&#x2019;re certainly not alone. Organizations in almost every industry struggle with similar challenges, often because their IT and development teams have adopted <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/jira\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">project management approaches like JIRA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that aren&#x2019;t applicable or available to other departments. While department-specific tools may once have had their place in the enterprise, more and more companies are moving away from this strategy and looking for solutions that allow meaningful interaction between IT, development and the rest of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizations looking for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/apps\/jira-integration\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">robust and scalable JIRA integration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> often find that Planview AdaptiveWork is an ideal solution, as it offers a full set of task and ticket tracking features, while providing a user-friendly interface and the ability to support projects in a much wider range of departments. Here&#x2019;s a quick look at how Planview AdaptiveWork can break down the barriers between development, IT and the rest of the organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Task Management<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IT and development teams who are accustomed to JIRA task management functionality are often pleasantly surprised to find that Planview AdaptiveWork provides the same ability to track specific requirements in great detail, while making it easier for other team members to stay informed about task progress or challenges. Planview AdaptiveWork&#x2019;s streamlined interface and interoperability allow employees to focus on their work without slowing down the flow of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Online Collaboration<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/work\/online-project-collaboration-tool\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online project collaboration tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are essential for effective communication between team members who are geographically separated but need to work together on project tasks. Planview AdaptiveWork offers an unmatched set of online collaboration features that make it easy for team members to share updates, ideas and solutions in real time. Project teams can even create 3-D conversations, combining emails, instant messages, project documents and other information in a central location that can be accessed by virtually everyone on the team. <\/span><br \/> <b>Interoperability<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Planview AdaptiveWork lets teams work in their <\/span><a href=\"\/many-methods-project-management\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">preferred IT project management methodology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and still interact with teams who use a different approach to project management. A development team using Agile methodology, for example, can use Planview AdaptiveWork to share task information with a separate team using the waterfall approach. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/product\/apps-marketplace\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Planview AdaptiveWork Apps Marketplace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> makes it easy to find tools that translate project plans and other critical information, streamlining communication and facilitating true collaboration across the enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"client-logo\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"Siemens Energy\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2020\/08\/siemens_energy-200x100.png\" alt=\"Siemens Energy\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"IIROC Success\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2020\/07\/IIROC_logo-200x100.gif\" alt=\"IIROC Success\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"Financial Services Institution\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2020\/04\/FINANCIAL-SERVICES-IMG-200x100.jpg\" alt=\"Financial Services Institution\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"M Squared\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2020\/03\/m-squared-logo-200x100.jpg\" alt=\"M Squared\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"Aliancys Success\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2019\/12\/aoc_aliancys-logo-800x400-200x100.jpg\" alt=\"Aliancys Success\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarizen.com\/customers\/\" title=\"Bonfiglioli Success\"><img class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.planview.com\/clarizen\/wp-content\/upload\/2019\/11\/bonfiglioli_logo-800x400-200x100.jpg\" alt=\"Bonfiglioli Success\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does this sound familiar?
