Case Study: M Squared achieves unified agile collaboration and real-time portfolio visibility with Planview AdaptiveWork

M Squared - Customer Case Study

M Squared is an award-winning photonics and quantum technology company with more than 100 staff across the UK, Europe and the USA, developing novel laser and quantum systems. Rapid growth and distributed, multidisciplinary teams led to tool fragmentation (Trello, Excel, email) and inconsistent processes, which made collaboration and portfolio-level reporting slow and inefficient.

M Squared implemented Clarizen Go (agile task management) integrated with Clarizen One (PPM) to unify teams, standardize workflows and provide real-time portfolio visibility. The change increased staff involvement in Agile projects by 10×, cut tool fragmentation threefold, improved collaboration across three business units, and saved roughly 60 days a year in timesheet collation, while extending transparency into manufacturing, customer service, installations, recruitment and marketing.
