Feedback & Ideas

I'm excited to share the latest release in NextGen IdeaPlace (Labs 2.0). This update introduces key enhancements around governance, workflow flexibility, and evaluation quality — enabling faster, more structured innovation at scale.What's New:Branching (Parallel Review Phases) — Dynamic routing of ideas into parallel evaluation paths based on engagement signals, accelerating high-potential ideas while maintaining structured review for others. Advanced Roles & Permissions — More granular, event-level access control to strengthen governance, improve clarity of responsibilities, and reduce operational friction. Custom Role Creation — Event Admins can now define tailored roles aligned with specific workflows, increasing flexibility and scalability across event types. Expert-Driven Evaluation — Assign expert groups during review phases to enhance decision quality and ensure more consistent, domain-informed evaluations. Categories — Improved idea organization and management within events

Currently, it's not possible to configure access to a specific drive or folder within a SharePoint site when setting up a ProjectPlace Workspace. This limitation presents a real challenge: our teams manage hundreds of projects, and linking SharePoint broadly would unintentionally expose all of them — far beyond what's needed for a single workspace.While there are occasional workarounds that allow linking to a specific folder, the behavior is inconsistent and unreliable, making it difficult to scale securely and efficiently.If this impacts your workflows too, we strongly encourage you to add your voice in the forum. The more visibility and engagement this issue receives, the more likely it is to gain traction with the development team. Your feedback can help prioritize this feature and shape a solution that works for all of us.

I was looking to suggest an idea for ProjectPlace and discovered there isn’t an IdeaPlace campaign for that tool. It’s too bad. There was just a great suggestion someone inadvertently posted in the wrong place that would have been a great topic to add. Hope maybe you can add ProjectPlace to the list, since it’s one of the most established Planview tools.

Having recently adopted IdeaPlace elsewhere in our organisation as a standalone tool for crowd sourcing and relatively small campaigns, we’d love to extend this into our Portfolios solution to act as the gateway into our change delivery portfolio, but that would require the ability to create new ‘strategies’ from IdeaPlace integration, rather than new work.  Is there any demand for this elsewhere, or maybe on the roadmap for the IdeaPlace Next Gen?
