Planview Starts 2026 With New Leadership and Practical AI for Product Teams
Planview enters 2026 with new CEO Matt Zilli, strong 2025 results, and an AI-first strategy built for execution. Last year brought 274 net new customers, meaningful product updates, and leadership recognition from top analysts.
If you lead product development, the takeaways are clear: faster prioritization, clearer decisions, and tighter alignment across portfolios.
Why this matters for product and engineering leaders
- AI that works with your context: Planview Anvi provides guidance and intelligent actions based on your data and domain needs, helping teams choose the right bets and move with confidence.
- Execution signals in one place: AdaptiveWork now includes generative features and a new Logbook to track changes, risks, issues, decisions, and lessons learned - with more than 60% Anvi adoption on AdaptiveWork three months after launch.
2025 customer momentum
Planview added 274 net new customers across Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare, Technology, and Retail, while growing with existing accounts.
- Notable brands: DHL, General Mills, RTX, Progressive, UPS, T. Rowe Price, Stryker, Global Payments, John Lewis Partnership, Kiwibank, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, RS Group, QBE, Renesas, and Vanderbilt University.
Product and platform highlights
- Introduced Planview Anvi, an enterprise AI solution that helps prioritize strategic investments and translate decisions into action.
- Expanded generative capabilities inside AdaptiveWork and launched Logbook for end-to-end decision and risk visibility.
- Acquired Sciforma to deepen PPM and Product Development coverage and extend the European footprint.
- Grew operations in the Middle East with a UAE data center and plans for a Saudi Arabia data center in 2026, in step with Amazon's announced $5.3B regional investment.
Leadership updates
- Matt Zilli is now CEO. His focus: practical AI that helps organizations make better portfolio calls and deliver outcomes faster.
- Stephanie Barton joined as Chief Revenue Officer for Europe, bringing leadership experience from Qualtrics, VMware, Cisco, and HP to support growing demand across the region.
