About TransparentChoice

TransparentChoice is a strategic portfolio management platform designed for PMOs, strategy teams, and business leaders who need to align project delivery with business goals. t helps you bring clarity, control, and confidence to every step of the process, from new project requests to prioritization, planning and delivery.

TransparentChoice review

The original set-up and training were great and so is the continuos support. Working in the software is time consuming, the way our system is set up I need to remember to save scores on assessments before they go to the report. End users have not adopted the dashboard, so I need to export the reporting out to another platform, it is not the software it is 'yet another place they need to go.' We have created shortcuts that some users use, but (cannot figure out why) some users suddenly lose access and are requested to set passwords. SSO never did work.

Pros:

I like that all the bias is taken out of decision on what is the highest priority. It is very easy for the end users to use, and the reporting gives a clear visual. The support I get from the company is amazing.

Cons:

They way our businesses use the tool, it is very tedious to set up, but that is a one time task. I do not like that the system does not remember my previous choices. I use the kanban board a lot and move from there to other areas, each time I come back to the Kanban board I need to expand my columns. Lots of clicking.

Pros:

Great tool for prioritising portfolios to focus on achieving strategic outcomes. Because it involves different areas of the business in the decision-making, it fosters engagement and buy-in

Cons:

Not really a con, but something to consider- depending on the culture of the organisation, tool adoption could involve having to take decision makers along the change journey.

Pros:

1. Powerful prioritization engine with the ability to build a prioritization model using AHP. 2. Support for collaborative decision-making with AHP. 3. Portfolio optimization allowing scenario analysis to select the best combination of initiatives into the portfolio. 4. Automated generation of the Portfolio Roadmap after portfolio optimization. 5. The use of project staggering for automated portfolio roadmapping allowing the optimized use of resources.

Cons:

None, but it could integrate Monte Carlo analysis into the prioritization and optimization process for more reliable decision-making.

Pros:

As an Academic, I made TransparentChoice my software of choice to teach AHP to MSc (postgraduate) students. In class we obviously use made-up examples. However, many students also end up using the software in their final capstone projects with clients and/or research dissertations, with great results! Finally, I regularly use TC at the end of my course, to understand what priorities for improvement of the course should be pursued and why. The latter 'exercise' provides me with evidence on what works and what does not work of the course each year, and clear guidelines and what could be done to improve; all this is way more effective than any of the typical course feedback mechanisms (old-school questionnaires, filled in individually and separately) that universities tend to use. As a practitioner, when using TransparentChoice in industrial projects (especially around optimal design of complex automated systems), in the past I have enjoyed very much using the sw in a group decision making/support setting. Running surveys in a group when using TC is a very smooth process that can be completed quite quickly even with people with no prior exposure to the sw. This is of course assuming the 'right' people are involved in the group, but that's another story - and nothing to do with the TC sw anyway!

Cons:

The library of tools within TC should be expanded to make the most of what the software can offer to its users. That means, in my opinion, implementing within TC other MCDA tools beyond AHP etc. TransparentChoice, with its modular nature, has the potential to do so. The benefits for the user will be tangible and immediate to tell, thus multiplying choice options for users so that there is plenty of choice of functions available even when one or more the basic assumptions of the more established techniques such as AHP are even slightly violated by a specific project.

Punches Well Above It's Weight

I have found the team at TransparentChoice to be fantastic, eager to take on board and implement suggestions for improvement. For a relative newcomer in the field, their offering is mature and capable, and has proven its worth in helping me to gain consensus of understanding as well as direction. While some decision modelling skill is required in setting up decisions, from the viewpoint of a survey participant it is very simple.

Pros:

It enables decision makers to explicitly state what is important and guides the correct conversations leading to better decisions with more buy-in and understanding.

Cons:

It's a technical thing that I'm sure will get fixed but I would like better control over the scoring/weighting curve - it's not always linear and bigger is not always better - at the moment this requires numerical manipulation outside of the software.
