The IT PMO at Emory Healthcare faced increasing demand with no additional headcount and lacked a consolidated view of strategic, maintenance, and ad hoc work. By integrating Planview PPM Pro for portfolio planning with LeanKit for Kanban-based work delivery, teams gained actionable data for resource forecasting, prioritization, and utilization tracking. A phased pilot reduced backlog by 30 percent in two weeks and enabled cross-team collaboration without email handoffs. The approach now supports Agile, waterfall, and hybrid methodologies while providing executives with clear capacity data.
