Case Study: Leeds Bradford Airport achieves effortless project and portfolio reporting with Smartsheet

Leeds Bradford Airport saves 2,000 hours a year with Smartsheet

Leeds Bradford Airport's Portfolio Management Office (PMO) faced a challenge with visibility and inefficient manual reporting for its portfolio of approximately 50 projects. They initially used a large spreadsheet and then an unsuitable PPM tool, which hindered strategic decision-making and consumed excessive time. To gain clarity and streamline operations, the airport turned to the vendor Smartsheet, implementing its platform for project and portfolio management.

With assistance from partner Cheetah Transformation, Smartsheet was implemented, providing dashboards and real-time visibility across all projects. This solution automated reporting and created efficient systems for project closures. The results were significant, saving the PMO an estimated 2,000 hours per year on reporting. Smartsheet enabled better resource planning, faster triaging of projects, and laid the groundwork for future growth.
