The Project
We have the opportunity to work on many unique projects for many unique clients – but rarely are we asked to stand up a global Clarity PPM implementation in less than a month. When we were approached by this manufacturing company to do just that, including mapping their very detailed processes to Clarity PPM, training their staff, and helping to prepare for a high-profile Executive Roadshow, we jumped at the chance.
- Visibility into all incoming projects, in-flight projects, and resources
- Standardization of the project intake process, project scoring, and portfolio ranking rules
- Portfolio Planning and Capacity planning capabilities, providing visibility into resource and financial capacity and demand across the entire portfolio
Our Winmill team rolled up their sleeves and dove in, kicking things off with Joint Architecture and Design (JAD) sessions where we gathered and unified diverse feedback from a global set of stakeholders. Once JAD was complete, the solution was rapidly configured and delivered. Winmill provided train-the-trainer education, which the company used to leverage their own PMO staff, reduce external training costs, and accelerate user adoption. Once training was complete, the PMO was able to fully support the system without our help… Success!
