Just as we powered up the TARDIS for Agile2013, the BBC announced the 12th Doctor in the long-running television program, \u201cDoctor Who.\u201d (Well played, BBC. Your timing couldn\u2019t have been better.)<\/span><\/p>\n

For those who are unfamiliar with the\u00a0Doctor Who<\/a>\u00a0character, here\u2019s a sky-high overview: Doctor Who is a Time Lord who travels through time in his TARDIS, an extraordinary spaceship that hides in plain sight as an ordinary blue \u201cpolice box\u201d (a British term referring to a street-corner callbox used for police communication). The Doctor is the hero of the story. He must defeat\u00a0a host of bizarre, alien enemies to help the public, maintain civilization and bring justice to society.<\/p>\n

What could this possibly have to do with Planview AgilePlace \u2014 a\u00a0visual collaboration platform<\/a>\u00a0for project management?<\/p>\n

Two words: time travel.<\/p>\n

Well, not\u00a0real<\/i>\u00a0time travel. (Not yet, anyway.) But when you use our new\u00a0Forecasting and Risk Management tool<\/strong>, you can accurately predict delivery dates for future projects \u2014 almost as if you\u2019d traveled through time to get them.<\/p>\n

The Future of Project Planning<\/h3>\n

Instead of using guesstimates and hunches,\u00a0you can\u00a0forecast with confidence<\/strong>. Our tool automatically harvests real project data to fuel your predictions. It can even identify process bottlenecks that can hinder progress, and tell you how to fix them.<\/p>\n

At Planview AgilePlace, we strive to improve the workplace by providing people with software that boosts efficiency, reduces stress and increases the number of high-fives.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to think that Doctor Who would champion the same values.<\/p>\n

After all, saving mankind from aliens and saving mankind from traditional project management tools is pretty much the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
