Matisa, a Swiss industrial equipment manufacturer, faced delayed handoffs and poor cross-team visibility while managing projects in Excel. After implementing Planview LeanKit virtual Kanban boards, the company standardized workflows, enforced six-week card limits, and enabled real-time status sharing across R&D, production, sales, and suppliers. Within three months, average cycle time dropped four weeks and on-time delivery rose to 70%. Executives gained portfolio-level oversight while teams improved collaboration and accountability.
