Customer Challenges

American Iron and Metal faced several significant challenges in their project and portfolio management. They lacked a consolidated view and dashboard for their projects and plans, leading to poor global internal visibility on portfolio, planning, and delivery status. Their processes were manual and labor-intensive, with no real-time data or workforce capacity visibility. Resource managers struggled with current workload visibility due to disconnected tools and inconsistent processes across different IT directions. Additionally, there was no easy and reliable integration between various tools like DevOps, Redmine, MS Project, MS Planner, and others, which hindered accurate budget calculations and capacity prioritization. This fragmentation resulted in a lack of transparency and real-time data, complicating business decision-making and overall visibility.
