Case Study: UK Highways Agency achieves increased program governance and team productivity with PowerSteering

Increases Program Governance and Team Productivity with Powersteering

The UK Highways Agency, which manages and improves England’s strategic road network and delivers large-scale projects under the government’s Ten‑Year Plan, needed stronger program governance and public transparency. Project information was scattered across hard-to-manage, frequently out-of-date spreadsheets, and the agency required centralized reporting, uniform processes, executive metrics, dashboard visibility, issue tracking, and compliance with a mandated 3‑phase/7‑stage Project Control Framework.

The agency implemented PowerSteering for its configurability, integration and single sign‑on support, and to enforce the Project Control Framework. PowerSteering centralized governance, enforced the 7‑stage lifecycle, eliminated custom spreadsheets, reduced executive reporting time from days to minutes, automated alerts to boost team productivity, and delivered unprecedented transparency and oversight to stakeholders.
