Securing a competitive advantage through collaborative project and portfolio management (PPM)

Projects are becoming more complex, time-to-market is becoming a decisive success factor. Many companies are struggling with historically grown tools, unclear processes and a lack of transparency - and are losing valuable time as a result.

With collaborative project and portfolio management (PPM), you can manage all projects in a clearly structured and networked way - from the initial concept to the market-ready product. Thanks to the combination of classic and agile methods, you can realize your portfolio end-to-end: from the strategic roadmap to operational implementation. This allows you to create real traceability, save time thanks to lean processes and retain control even in dynamic portfolios.
No- and low-code platforms noticeably reduce the workload on your IT departments: specialist departments can adapt and further develop applications independently - allowing you to remain flexible, future-proof and competitive.

Automotive product development
Automotive product development

The development of vehicles is complex and often involves globally distributed teams, tight deadlines and high quality requirements. Collaborative PPM creates transparency and traceability across all phases - from the concept idea to global certification. Resources, budgets and milestones are planned in a networked manner and dependencies remain traceable. This allows you to reliably manage costs, schedules and quality and efficiently bring projects to the finished product.

In pharmaceutical and medical research in particular, schedules are tight, regulatory requirements are high and data volumes are sensitive. With collaborative PPM, you can create complete traceability of all study and development phases. Budgets, resources and risks are managed transparently and results can be viewed at any time. This shortens time-to-market, ensures compliance and accelerates the path from research project to approved product.

Large-scale projects such as subway lines, neighborhood developments or energy plants place the highest demands on coordination and communication. Collaborative PPM connects stakeholders, construction phases and suppliers in a central system. Schedules, costs and risks are managed dynamically and deviations are detected at an early stage. This ensures quality, time savings and transparency - from the first draft to commissioning.

Mass litigation, extensive claims settlements or compliance projects require maximum traceability and a secure data situation. With collaborative PPM, you can manage processes, deadlines, dependencies and budgets in one system. Responsibilities are clearly defined and progress can be viewed at any time. This means that even complex mandates can be managed in a structured manner, risks reduced and processes completed efficiently.

Innovation projects, such as those involving new materials or technologies, require flexible scenario planning, prioritization and clear traceability. Collaborative PPM enables a dynamic roadmap, networked resource planning and the combination of classic and agile methods. This gives you a decisive advantage in terms of time-to-market - from the initial idea to market maturity.

The simultaneous planning and management of numerous projects at different locations requires maximum transparency. With collaborative PPM, you can keep an eye on capacities, budgets and dependencies at all times. Risks are identified at an early stage and scenarios can be flexibly adapted. This allows you to make optimum use of resources, manage your portfolio end-to-end and achieve your strategic goals more efficiently.
