Tempo Planner Reviews
Pros
Tempo Planner is a great software tool to help business owners to organized and profitable.
With seamless integration with the excellent Tempo Timesheets this is a fantastic addition to the Tempo family and vital in planning time for your software development team.
Ease of use, the overview and the rich reporting features, as well as the integration in all Jira issue features. Very good to make detailed plans on a daily or weekly basis.
So far the overall experience has been good. We have been able to gain visibility into capacity vs utilization at the program, team and individual levels.
Cons
Because the time is broken out in equal parts across the assigned time period, it is often broken into odd increments that do not fit our 15 minute increment structure.
Also, you have no idea when the plan on fixing the problems in the software since there is no communication about roapmaps or coming features.
The software is confusing (several similar views that do different things).
There is no change history. Often things get messed up, accidently.

Vendor Response
"Assertive Solution for Task Management"
Pros: Tempo Planner brings a defined way of handling tasks, and proper information is shared to ensure resources are accurately managed.
Cons: Tempo Planner brings the best results in matters tasks control and planning without defects.
"Need more flexibility in visibility/reporting"
Overall: In conjunction with our Senior Project Manager, I tried out Tempo planner on just the project management team and did not feel it was well fit to our needs. We submitted a ticker to tempo/jira, and our needs are not able to be met (CSV esport of estimates versus actuals, very important to our workflow). Because of this, we are looking into alternatives. We are still trying to move away from Float, our current resourcing tool, but are not sure that Tempo Planner would suit us any better.
Pros: It is easy to input a block of time and the software will automatically allocate daily amounts for you.
Cons: It is not possible to hide planned time from the production team, and this planned time shows up in Tempo where team members go daily to log this time. Because the time is broken out in equal parts across the assigned time period, it is often broken into odd increments that do not fit our 15 minute increment structure. Because this is surfaced to the team, we anticipate issues with them logging planned time rather than their actuals and fussing when their actuals do not match the planned resourcing for the week (which they often do not). We also miss the capability to color code the planned work by project manager (which we had in Float). The overhead view of all resources is not as easy to break down as our previous program, Float, because it does not surface enough detail. We also cannot export the single most important report as a CSV (estimates versus actuals), which was the #1 reason we anticipated moving to Tempo planner in the first place.
