This IDC study provides a 2020 comparative vendor analysis and assessment for work management in the context of our PPM research series. Project execution in brittle worldwide economic and political environments demands adaptive work management execution and prioritization, and we saw demand for these capabilities driving strong engagement for major and innovative work management vendors in 2019 moving into 2020–2021.

More generally, the increasing role and complexity of resource usage and allocation across businesses support ongoing engagement with work management, augmenting the market for PPM adoption with team collaboration capabilities. In addition to targeted best-of-breed (BoB) work management vendors, we see major PPM providers evolving their work management support through acquisitions (and, in some cases, organically), which we expect will continue to play a role for increased user adoption at least through 2024.
