Case Study: The European Community of Practice on Gender Mainstreaming achieves streamlined pan‑European collaboration and reduced travel with Planview ProjectPlace

Projectplace facilitates European cooperation

Gender Mainstreaming, the European Community of Practice on Gender Mainstreaming, needed to coordinate roughly 40 people across 13 countries to standardize gender‑equality work in the European Social Fund. With in‑person meetings impractical and email attachments proving unreliable, the group adopted an online collaboration and project‑management solution from Planview ProjectPlace to centralize communications, documents and tracking.

Planview ProjectPlace implemented its Projectplace platform to give the project manager a single linked repository (no attachments), read-tracking for documents, an easy social‑media‑style interface and 24/7 support. The platform improved coordination across 13 countries and ~40 participants, reduced travel and related expenses (budgeted savings), sped user adoption (many users became enthusiastic proponents) and enabled better tracking and dissemination of materials.
