Healthcare PMO Improves Project Visibility and Resource Utilization
Case study of a 5,900-person healthcare organization that adopted Planview Enterprise One to standardize timesheets, project management, and resource management.
The PMO previously spent two to three weeks monthly collecting project and resource data that quickly became outdated, creating conflicts between project and resource managers over demand versus capacity. The organization implemented a phased rollout of Planview Enterprise One using SMART goals, internal case studies, standardized lifecycles, and targeted training. Benefits include project standardization, improved estimating and scheduling, and a single system for timesheet approval, resource requests, and status reporting.
Phased implementation of timesheets, then project and resource management, reduced adoption resistance
SMART goals and internal case studies generated early stakeholder buy-in and accurate data entry
Standardized project lifecycles and one-on-one training enabled consistent processes across PMs and resource managers
Single system for timesheets, resource requests, and project status replaced conflicting spreadsheets and manual reporting
Top-down support, change leaders, and ongoing communication improved visibility into demand versus capacity
