Top Challenges

  • No centralized system to manage projects and resources
  • Fragmented Tools
  • Limited Project Visibility
  • Manual Budget Tracking
  • Inefficient resource allocation

Before using OnePlan, UFCU faced several challenges, including the lack of a centralized portfolio management tool, which made it difficult to manage projects and allocate resources efficiently. Their use of Wrike and Azure DevOps created fragmented workflows without proper integration, limiting visibility into project status and resource utilization. Without a formal process for prioritizing projects or tracking budgets, decision-making was hindered, and reporting was manual and time-consuming. These challenges led to inefficiencies in project management and delayed their ability to meet strategic goals.

OnePlan provided UFCU with a Strategic Portfolio Management solution that integrated their existing tools, such as Azure DevOps, while introducing features like project intake, prioritization, resource management, and advanced scenario planning. This unified platform gave UFCU real-time visibility into project health, streamlined resource allocation, and enabled efficient budget tracking. The seamless integration with ADO, combined with comprehensive reporting and the upcoming Wrike integration, helped eliminate fragmented workflows, providing a cohesive, end-to-end solution for managing their growing portfolio.
