The key quantifiable difference since we started using Meisterplan is that planning horizon has moved immediately from short term to long term, from 3 months to 18 months. And that creates more efficient communication, and better and more logical decision making.

There is no other product that does what Meisterplan does in terms of portfolio management and resource management without unessential extra features. If there were another product that does what Meisterplan does, I would have found it, because I tried them all.
Before working with Meisterplan, we consistently underestimated the people resources needed to achieve project outcomes. This made it difficult to set realistic timelines and complicated our planning efforts. Thanks to Meisterplan's expertise and support, we're now better positioned to plan with confidence and deliver results.
With Meisterplan, we are able to implement our internal strategic projects with less than 10% deviation from the planned schedule.
We successfully run 400 projects and 20 programs in our portfolio with Meisterplan. Although many have tried, you can’t manage that many programs and resources in Excel templates. But you can with Meisterplan.
Meisterplan provides us with what we need for excellent strategic portfolio and resource management: All essential information on one screen to make sound decisions, and for teams to see what they need to work on and when. It is powerful yet so easy to work with, whether we apply waterfall, agile, or hybrid.
