Top Challenges

  • Disconnected tools and inconsistent project processes
  • No standard approach to intake or prioritization
  • Difficulty aligning work to OKRs and measuring outcomes
  • Manual processes for resource planning and reporting
  • Limited visibility into benefit realization and ROI
  • Complex technical landscape with many system integrations

Each business group used isolated tools and methods to manage projects, resulting in inconsistent practices, inefficiencies, and limited strategic alignment. The Cyber Security Group in particular lacked a unified intake process, struggled with associating OKRs to work, and had no standardized method for resource capacity planning or benefit tracking.

Chevron implemented OnePlan as an enterprise-wide project portfolio management (PPM) solution to unify project tracking, resourcing, and financial oversight across business groups. OnePlan’s flexibility allowed each unit to tailor the platform to their needs while maintaining a consistent portfolio structure. Integrated with Workday and Azure DevOps, the platform provided real-time visibility into work, resources, and strategic investments.

OnePlan replaced manual spreadsheets and disparate systems with a unified platform that supports both agile and non-agile execution methods, provides portfolio visibility from intake through execution, and enables more accurate forecasting of direct and indirect costs. The system was designed to support both stable and ad hoc team structures, ensuring flexibility in resource planning.

There were three separate implementations for different business units: the Cyber Security Group, Wells Digital, and the Oronite Chemical Business. Each implementation was  deployed individually to meet the unique needs of the business unit while maintaining overall consistency in portfolio structure and reporting.
