​Athletic Gear Retailer Finds Success with Winmill & Clarity Project & Portfolio Management

The Project

When this global athletic gear retailer needed a Project & Portfolio Management tool, they performed a comprehensive search. Not surprising, they selected the best product in Clarity PPM, and the best implementation partner in WinMill Software.
​
WinMill helped this client to implement Clarity PPM using a bottoms-up approach, whereby the fundamentals of project management as well as financial management would be put in place prior to portfolio management. This enabled them to bring projects into alignment with corporate priorities before tackling the overall portfolio. And because the client needed a quick win, WinMill’s QuickStart was a perfect fit. They got up and running on Clarity PPM in just 30 days, deriving immediate value, with a framework and roadmap in place for implementing new functionality and onboarding new business units.

Challenge

• Multiple tools with lack of cohesion or integration
• Multiple business processes for gathering information
• A need to integrate (in the future) with Clarity PPM implementation
• A need for greater visibility into resource capacity/demand
• A need to improve forecasting of demand
• A need for improved forecasting and prioritization of project work and budgets
• A need to streamline time tracking and approval processes
