Marketing Services Firm Adopts Kanban to Cut 14 Weekly Hours on Work Tracking
Case study shows how a 1,500-employee marketing services company replaced Excel and physical boards with Planview LeanKit for real-time request tracking and prioritization.
The Partner Analytics team managed incoming work from multiple data teams using Excel spreadsheets and static Kanban boards. Remote work requirements exposed the lack of mobile access and real-time updates. After implementing LeanKit, teams gained a single visual platform supporting varied methodologies, consolidated dashboards, and instant status visibility. Reported outcomes include up to 14 hours saved weekly through reduced status meetings, eliminated spreadsheet maintenance, and faster identification of capacity issues.
Excel and physical boards failed to support remote work and real-time request tracking across multiple data teams.
LeanKit provided a browser-based Kanban platform that teams customized without installed software.
Work visibility expanded from a 5-user pilot to 110 users across 23 boards logging 33,000 hours.
Teams saved up to 14 hours per week by eliminating status meetings, spreadsheet updates, and manual prioritization.
LeanKit became the single source of truth for work assignment, productivity analysis, and capacity planning.
