Using SharePoint for Practical Project Management at the City of McKinney - BrightWork Customer Case Study
Boston, MA, 20th August 2010 – BrightWork Inc., leading provider of work and practical project management software on the Microsoft SharePoint platform, wanted to share their latest customer success story at the City of McKinney.
For the last few years, the City of McKinney's IT department worked diligently on concurrent IT projects. However, while the IT department was working hard at meeting the needs of their departments (their customers), they were falling prey to a common misperception throughout so many organizations, "IT isn't doing what I need for my department." They decided to commission James Ewing (from Enterprise Leadership Consulting) to examine their project management processes. James recommended implementing a SharePoint for Project Management Solution and customizing it to meet their specific needs.
"We now have deep insight into resource utilization, project cost and overrun, and accurately predict (and show to the City Manager) when we're tasked with more than we can handle, when projects can be added to the pipeline, as well as predict an actual finish date. This implementation has greatly improved our ability to communicate project dependencies across departments and has even contributed to a positive change in our corporate culture."
James Ewing presented this informative presentation in a live webcast which includes:
- The Challenge
- Management Solution
- Cultural Shift
- Technology Solution
- Outcome
