Case Study: Leading Manufacturing Company achieves world-class product development and transparent, on-time product delivery with Planview Enterprise One

Manufacturing Company Implements Innovation Strategy and Governance for Improved Product Delivery

A global manufacturing company with 50,000 employees set out to uplift its product development capability to improve on-time product delivery, better support customer launches, and reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets. Leadership needed to drive executional excellence across business units, prioritize the right projects, and put in place people, processes, and technology to stop low-value projects early and focus resources where they matter most.

The company assigned full-time project managers and implemented Planview Enterprise One — Portfolio and Resource Management as a single system of record, rolling it out across five strategic business units (1,500 users, 500 trained PMs). By standardizing stage-gate processes, IP management, sustainability measures, financial KPIs and portfolio reporting, it achieved harmonized tools, greater transparency, the ability to segment projects by complexity, and clearer alignment of spending to strategy — delivering faster, more predictable product launches and “world class” development processes.
