Challenge
The Company operates in a highly competitive, low-margin industry where efficiency is paramount. Prior to Implementing Planview resource management relied on disconnected tools like Excel and SharePoint, limiting real-time visibility and data accuracy. The lack of overall data driven insight made strategic alignment difficult, resulting in misaligned priorities, redundant efforts, and cost escalations. Senior management lacked access to reliable, up-to-date insights, complicating decision-making and prioritization. Additionally, the absence of a standardized governance framework led to inconsistencies in project evaluation and execution. The Company needed a unified system to improve resource allocation, streamline processes, and enhance strategic alignment.
Results
Since implementing Planview, the Company has significantly improved visibility into project execution and resource allocation. Senior management now has access to real-time, accurate data, enabling better strategic planning and prioritization. With a clearer view of project dependencies, resource constraints, and financial impacts, leadership can make more informed, data-driven decisions. Planview has fostered a cultural shift towards proactive discussions on project viability, risks, and returns. Decision-makers are now equipped with actionable insights, driving greater accountability and efficiency. Improved tracking of key performance indicators ensures that investments align with long-term business goals, optimizing the Company´s innovation and operational effectiveness. Furthermore, Planview has standardized best practices across departments, reducing inefficiencies and improving collaboration between business units. This structured approach to portfoliomanagement has enhanced resource utilization and improved overall project execution.

Outlook
Over the next two to three years, the focus will be on further integrating Planview into departments beyond IT. The goal is to develop a global process for strategic prioritization of business, IT, and strategic projects, including mergers & acquisitions and investments. This will contribute to more strategic decision-making based on real-time data and better allocation of scarce resources. The role of PMO and PPM will be further strengthened, with an emphasis on training and certifying project managers to ensure a uniform way of working. Ultimately, Planview will help achieve a more efficient and smarter allocation of resources, which is essential for a low-margin organization.
