Case Study: Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing achieves centralized project control and streamlined long‑term planning with Microsoft Project (Project Online)

Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing - Customer Case Study

The Israeli Ministry of Construction and Housing, which implements national housing policy and supports residents with programs like subsidized mortgages and public housing, needed to manage timelines and schedules for 1,200 housing projects—each with about 500 activities and some spanning up to 15 years. To support its new Control Center for centralized analysis, the ministry deployed Microsoft Project (Project Online) to improve oversight and coordination.

Using Microsoft Project (Project Online), the ministry established a single repository of project data, standardized terminology across teams, and defined control points to streamline stakeholder communication. The solution shifted the organization from searching for data to solving problems, enabled tailored reporting for long‑term planning and forecasting, and helped avoid bottlenecks across hundreds of multi‑year projects.
