Case Study: Joy Global achieves accurate project duration estimates and improved resource planning with Sciforma

Estimating Project Duration with PPM Tool

Joy Global, a global leader in high‑productivity mining equipment and aftermarket services, needed better control over engineering projects that range from a few weeks to over a year. Until recently the team relied on spreadsheets and informal, ad hoc resource management, which provided estimates but no reliable way to track progress, resource allocation or real project status.

Joy Global selected Sciforma for its functionality, pricing and token licensing, installed the software and ran short trainings for project managers and administrators. The tool delivered immediate benefits—timesheet-based tracking, improved resource planning and more accurate project‑duration estimates—and management reports a strong perceived ROI, with additional gains expected once project management training is more broadly deployed.
