Case Study: Biotechnology Company achieves 98% timesheet compliance and streamlined R&D stage-gate reporting with Planview PPM Pro

Biotechnology Company Refines New Product Development Process and Reporting Across the R&D Group

A global biotechnology company's R&D division, responsible for new and custom product development, struggled to manage stage-gate data and enforce timesheet compliance, leaving leadership with disorganized metrics and unreliable reports for decision making. Without consistent resource time tracking and accessible gate data, the team could not produce concise, trusted reports to guide portfolio and program decisions.

The division implemented Planview PPM Pro in a three-phase rollout focused on user adoption, easy timesheet entry, and configurable stage‑gate fields, making the application the central data repository. Results included >98% timesheet compliance, consolidated dashboards and calculated fields for committed vs. actuals, faster responses to reporting requests, clearer KPIs for time-to-market, identification of revenue gaps, and improved resource alignment and forecasting.
