As organizations connect strategy, architecture, and execution across that sprawl, visibility breaks down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>By the time a portfolio review surfaces a misalignment, the window to course-correct has often already closed.

What it reveals to us is that the distance between the top platforms and the rest is widening.

They answered one question: what is happening? We believe the leading SPM platforms turn that data into decisions before the window closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That distinction hits hardest at the portfolio level, where a single misallocated investment can cascade into months of lost capacity, delayed product bets, and strategic drift. The platforms to focus on deliver both: the visibility to surface a problem and the intelligence to act on it, without switching tools or waiting for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentic AI is what makes acting on problems possible at scale. The platforms that are pulling ahead in the market are those where AI could take a strategic question like &#8220;what happens if we delay this initiative and redirect capacity here?&#8221; and return a meaningful, comparative answer using real portfolio data. The recommendation surfaces directly, with trade-offs visible, without an analyst in between. The choice on what action to take on that recommendation belongs to the humans, but it is now a much better-informed choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_AI_Scores_Should_Mean_More_to_You_Than_They_Used_To\"><\/span>Why AI Scores Should Mean More to You Than They Used To<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, AI in SPM meant smarter filters and automated status updates. These capabilities are useful at the margins, but they stop well short of the decision layer. The 2026 evaluation reflects a meaningful step change: AI is now embedded across the full SPM lifecycle, from capacity planning and demand prioritization through investment forecasting and OKR alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When evaluating how deeply AI is embedded in an SPM platform, focus on the criteria where AI determines the quality of the output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strategic planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scenario comparison and portfolio analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business architecture and capability-based planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goal measurement and alignment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Planview received the highest possible scores across all four of these criteria. We believe those scores reflect what happens when AI is designed into the core of an SPM platform from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practical difference shows up in how leaders are enabled to make decisions. With agentic AI built into portfolio analysis, a CIO or EPMO leader can run scenario comparisons using natural language, evaluating the impact of a strategic shift across investments, teams, and timelines, without pulling in a data team or waiting for a weekly report. That speed is what closes the visibility gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Other_Signals_That_Matter\"><\/span>The Other Signals That Matter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Forrester&#8217;s evaluation goes beyond AI. Two other elements of the Q2 2026 assessment are worth highlighting for any leader evaluating SPM tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is customer feedback. Analyst evaluations measure capability at a point in time. To us, customer feedback reflects whether the platform holds up under the pressure of real planning cycles, across real organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In the Q2 2026 evaluation, Planview was recognized as a Leader and received above-average customer feedback.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The second is the strategy category, which covers Vision, Innovation, and Roadmap, among other criteria. For buyers making a multi-year platform decision, a vendor&#8217;s investment trajectory matters as much as its current capabilities. The platforms that are truly making their mark are the ones building toward where the decision environment is heading, consistently ahead of where their customers are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Inline CTA Box -->\n<div style=\"background-color: #F5F5F5; border-radius: 8px; padding: 26px; margin: 40px auto; max-width: 673px; box-shadow: 0 3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border: 1px solid #eaeaea; text-align: center;\">\n  <p style=\"color: #527A8E; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; margin: 0 0 8px;\">Read The Forrester Wave\u2122: Strategic Portfolio Management Tools, Q2 2026<\/p>\n  <h3 style=\"color: #333333; margin-top: 0; font-size: 27px; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 8px;\">What to Look for If You&#8217;re Evaluating SPM Tools<\/h3>\n  <p style=\"color: #777777; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0 0 16px; text-transform: uppercase;\"><\/p>\n  <p style=\"color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px;\">The Forrester Wave\u2122 gives buyers a structured way to compare vendors on the criteria that matter most for strategic portfolio management.
