What Brittany Loves About Meisterplan

The biggest value that Meisterplan gives us is the ability to communicate across the enterprise what’s being worked on. It adds transparency as to why things are stacked ranked, and it holds people accountable to decisions that were made. This has resulted in more projects being completed on time, and more projects being aligned to a strategy, because they were accurately prioritized.

Specific Use Cases

On-Time, Reliable Delivery of Customer Projects

The challenge: An essential factor to a company’s success is delivering customer projects on time, which requires careful planning to find skilled and available employees. If your company doesn’t deliver on time, you will lose your customer’s trust customers and your credibility. Finding the capacity to just meet the deadline can cause overtime, employee disastisfaction and eat into profits. But how do you make realistic forecasts?

The solution: In Meisterplan, projects are planned with all of the relevant milestones, dependencies, and necessary roles. It gives you a detailed view of which employees you need, when and for how long. In the interactive views, you can see who is available when, and what impact your project will have on the rest of the portfolio. This allows you to provide realistic commitments and ensure that other projects are not at risk.

Drive Innovation by Reducing Idle Time

The challenge: It is extremely difficult to deal with the pressure of delivering innovation as quickly as possible in order to remain competitive. Often, the employees you need are already working on other projects, which delays development. To counteract this, many companies set up dedicated teams and programs that focus on the research and development of new products resulting in daily business falling through the cracks, while increasing the idle time of team members not actively involved.

The solution: With Meisterplan, you can precisely plan the capacities of each individual by taking into account their availability, important project milestones that may affect their deadlines and other responsibilities. This eliminates the need for new teams and unnecessary idle time, maximizing employee performance without having to sacrifice capacity elsewhere. As a result, your company remains competitive by reducing your time to market.

Reliable IT Roadmaps

The challenge: IT departments often lack reliable planning partially due to their agile working methods, multiple dependencies and a lack of visibility and defined processes for prioritizing project proposals across departments. This is especially relevant when coordinating both agile and traditional teams who use different project management tools to attempt to create a uniform process and database.

The solution: With Meisterplan, you can collect all relevant information including capacity data and milestones in one place and format. Our connectors, interfaces and integrations allow you to pull your data whether it comes from an agile , project management or another type of tool, without requiring major changes for the IT department. This ensures management can get a realistic forecast of all teams including agile teams. Additionally, by using our Lean PPM Framework., all relevant stakeholders stay well informed.

Create reliable IT roadmaps in electrical engineering companies.

With Meisterplan, Implementation and Data Maintenance Are a Breeze

The implementation of other software often fails because
  • The maintenance of data is tiresome
  • The added value is not recognized by the departments
  • The tool is not compatible with the daily work routine or their system landscape
The implementation of Meisterplan succeeds because
  • Only the relevant data is required for planning
  • The data can be obtained conveniently via numerous integration and interfaces
  • There is no need for departments to get used to the new software.
  • There are significant, noticeable improvements for everyone involved.
