Create a Common Language between Your Agile Teams and Management
Microsoft Azure DevOps helps teams create and organize Agile projects. But management is often missing a simple overview, and it’s hard to forecast when things will get done if you’re missing capacity and rough effort data. By combining Meisterplan and Azure DevOps, you get the best of both worlds. You get a great platform for organizing Agile work, and a management platform for the bigger picture.

What Matthias loves about Meisterplan
Before implementing Meisterplan, our resource management was a game of Excel bingo: timeconsuming, cumbersome, and error prone.

What Matthias loves about Meisterplan
Meisterplan focuses on the weak point of the major all-rounder: in simulation. The amazing thing about Meisterplan is that itdesign fills this niche perfectly.

What Dan loves about Meisterplan
One of our problems was being able to show everybody our portfolio plan. Now we see all our projects we would talk about, graphically depicted. You can see their durations and when you scroll down, you can see the team. Maybe these two projects are significant and they're taking two resources each for this period of time. We can now see how much room is in the capacity bucket that we have left to fill. From here we can look at our options. Using Meisterplan to do that helps us show our work and provide transparency.

What Christopher loves about Meisterplan
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.

What Erich loves about Meisterplan
Upon completing a POC with real data, this was the only tool for Portfolio Planning (PPM) that was consumable by my partners within the organization, and enabled this functionality for the first time. The GUI allowed it to 'actually stick'. It was essentially turn-key and customer support was of the highest quality.
What Simon loves about Meisterplan
The Meisterplan solution has been key to the development of our IT Project Roadmap and for easy change management. Today we are able to focus our energy on making the right decisions, instead of collecting and assessing information for new initiatives.
