What Daniel Loves About Meisterplan

When we first implemented Meisterplan, there were still sneering comments, such as‚ 'we‘ve tried it all before – for example in Excel.' But with Meisterplan, it all came together. Today, it is an integral part of our project planning.

What Holger Loves About Meisterplan

Meisterplan is a live system. That means that changes made by a user, whether they are a Team Lead or Project Manager, are immediately visible to other users. For this reason, we are able to use it as a single source of truth—what is stated in Meisterplan is valid for everyone.

What Simon Loves About Meisterplan

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.

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 Holger Loves About Meisterplan

Before Meisterplan, we tried keeping track of our projects in Excel. However, we couldn’t work collaboratively using Excel, which meant there were always different versions of our plan in circulation.

What Dan Loves About Meisterplan

We just hit a point where the size, complexity and volume of the projects were just too great that we couldn't govern it just within my team. We needed somebody's input to make decisions on these tradeoffs. Being able to show our work with Meisterplan makes it a lot less of a confusing process for people to participate in.

What Brittany Loves About Meisterplan

Meisterplan for Jira is a great integration tool if you are using Sprint based workflows in Jira. The integration further assists Meisterplan in communicating the task work in a visual way for executive management. It keeps a pulse on the work getting completed (and not completed) across the enterprise while showing the hierarchal priority and context to other projects and programs. This is helping us get more rigor around estimates and time tracking across multiple workflows.
