Customer Challenges

NDOT didn’t have any program management functions to manage and track their projects. NDOT was using spreadsheets to track project financials in different ways. They have been using Azure DevOps to manage all their projects, but they were lacking portfolio-level capabilities. NDOT needed a solution that could help the organization have greater visibility by providing capabilities to capture and align strategies with projects. They wanted a solution that could integrate with their current execution tools such as Microsoft Project, Planner, Azure DevOps, and Power Apps request app.
