Purdue University's PMO manages 400-500 IT projects with 14 project managers. Prior to implementation, fragmented tools created inconsistent data on status, costs, and resources. Planview PPM Pro was deployed as the single source of record, enabling role-specific dashboards and drill-down reports covering milestones, hours, costs, risks, and issues. The system supports time tracking for compliance, resource management, and predictive analytics based on historical performance data.
