Case Study: NuVasive achieves greater predictability, consistency, and collaboration with Planview ProjectPlace

NuVasive Improves Predictability, Consistency, and Collaboration Across R&D With an Integrated Solution

NuVasive, a global medical‑device company specializing in less‑invasive spine surgery solutions, needed to improve predictability and consistency across R&D new‑product projects. The PMO lacked visibility into incoming demand and resource capacity for complex projects that can involve more than 110 people across 30 roles, making effective resource management and cross‑functional collaboration difficult.

By integrating Planview ProjectPlace with Microsoft Power BI, NuVasive established a single source of truth—using Kanban task cards, standardized templates, and automated dashboards—to plan work, assign resources, and track progress in real time. The result: clearer resource modeling, faster reporting, more consistent product launches, and improved collaboration and predictability across R&D projects.
