Case Study: Fulton County Schools achieves better project and budget management with Microsoft Corporation

Major school district aces project and budget management with Microsoft Project Online and Visio

Fulton County Schools, one of Georgia’s largest school districts, needed better visibility into its project portfolio, budget, and staff capacity to manage everything from technology rollouts to capital improvements. Working with Microsoft Corporation’s Project Online and Office 365 tools, the district wanted a more systematic way to support its PMO and reduce the time spent on manual reporting.

Microsoft Corporation helped Fulton County Schools build “Navigator,” a cloud-ready solution combining Project Online, SharePoint, Visio, Teams, Flow, and Power BI for project management, collaboration, and reporting. The result was real-time portfolio visibility, automated monthly reporting, better capacity planning, and improved executive dashboards—saving the PMO a week of time each month while producing more consistent and readable reports.
