Buckinghamshire County Council
I give Meisterplan an A+ for the experience of modifying the project timeline and resourcing. Consider this model if you’ve struggled to forecast resource capacity using spreadsheets or large commercial tools.
Info-Tech Research Group
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.
Without Meisterplan, portfolio decisions during crises like this are not well-informed and have unpredictable outcomes.
Bayer UK
Very usable for enterprises with large number of projects to prioritize. It was designed to help PMOs and resource managers find the best fit in the project portfolio. It is easy to use and easy to implement. The user interface is really simple but offers useful functionalities for project and resource planning and prioritization.
The Lean PPM approach helps us have a solid and up-to-date database. I am able to bring figures to the table and easily map our initiatives to make the right decisions quickly. We are very satisfied with our partnership with Meisterplan, and every new day confirms the usefulness of this solution.
