Case Study: a leading machinery manufacturer improves PMO collaboration and automation with Optimum and Smartsheet Control Center

Leading Machinery Manufacturer improves PMO visibility and automates 3 project workflows with Optimum

A leading machinery manufacturer faced challenges with project collaboration, automation, and visibility due to an outdated in-house project management tool. Their PMO department needed improved processes for project selection, intake, and provisioning. They engaged Optimum to establish modern portfolio and project management best practices and to implement Smartsheet’s Control Center solution.

Optimum initiated the project by conducting a process mapping and PMO maturity assessment to develop a strategic roadmap. They then implemented a tailored Smartsheet Control Center solution, which automated key project activities and provided standardized templates. This provided the client with enhanced visibility and collaboration, improved reporting and dashboards, and significantly increased efficiency and productivity across teams. Optimum’s solution fully replaced the outdated software and empowered the client to achieve greater PMO maturity.
