That kind of work environment requires a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/product-innovation-portfolio-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"collaborative and easy-to-use project management (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">collaborative and easy-to-use project management<\/a> and execution platform, but that\u2019s unfortunately not what Xtrac worked with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a single source of truth, the employees at Xtrac were jumping between multiple documents, report files, and more, most of which were static. If employees needed to go on the road to visit a client, they needed to download all of these files beforehand. Because the required server was on-premise at the office; by the time employees reached their destination, the downloaded information was already outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This outdated and slow process impacted both Xtrac employees and their clients. Slow information transfer and miscommunication often resulted in wasted time and costs for the company that otherwise would have been avoided with a more efficient system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2015, enough was enough, and Xtrac decided to take action by partnering with Planview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Implementation Process: Xtrac and Planview AdaptiveWork<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After years of frustration and inefficiency, in 2015, Xtrac launched \u201cProject X\u201d and began onboarding 110 employees to the AdaptiveWork platform. With the new solution, they hoped to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure seamless access to information remotely and in-office<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide editing and visibility of projects remotely and in-office<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work from a single source of truth for all client information and updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run their 24-month strategic planning, including heat mapping, and capacity planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remain functional on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce unnecessary manual workloads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/resources\/case-study\/xtrac\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" implementing Planview AdaptiveWork (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\"> implementing Planview AdaptiveWork<\/a>, Xtrac began to address their pain points and needs. As part of the first step, all legacy systems were decommissioned, consolidating and importing all of the data and information into AdaptiveWork from three separate databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke with Phil Smith, Project Analyst at Xtrac, to learn about his experience during this transition. He shared that prior to implementation, it would take \u201chalf a day to pull various documents together\u201d to build a simple project overview. It would also typically take his boss a full day to prepare for project meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With AdaptiveWork\u2019s seamless, flexible hub, Phil and his team suddenly had all of the information they needed in one place. That meant they no longer needed to spend an entire day on reporting or meeting preparation. The benefits were immediate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Planview_AdaptiveWork_Helped_Xtrac_Communicate_At_Any_Time_with_Up-to-Date_Information\"><\/span>How Planview AdaptiveWork Helped Xtrac Communicate At Any Time with Up-to-Date Information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the advantages and benefits Planview AdaptiveWork brings to Xtrac, Phil had this to say: \u201cThe biggest reason for choosing Clarizen [now AdaptiveWork] was it gave us the ability to own the solution. We had the ability to update information ourselves without any consultant fees. We now have the ability to have real-time access from anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With AdaptiveWork, Xtrac could list all committed and forecasted opportunities in one place, providing them foresight into the business and the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/How-to-Overcome-Disruptions-to-Effective-Product-Development-_webinar_pi_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"identify potential gaps or bottlenecks (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">identify potential gaps or bottlenecks<\/a>. Plus, by stacking up their roadmaps, they could drive actual resource projection and better understand possible overlaps between projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capacity planning heatmaps were helpful, particularly for showing the team where they may have overcommitted in terms of output or team hours\u2014allowing them to review and adjust as needed. For the first time, Xtrac could see their actual resource availability and opportunities to renegotiate expected client timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Xtrac employees aren\u2019t at the office, they might be helping customers at the racetrack. Even remotely, Planview AdaptiveWork enables them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/solutions\/im-innovation-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"collaborate and move projects forward (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">collaborate and move projects forward<\/a> no matter where they are. And sometimes, that means fixing a problem right when it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2017, an Xtrac customer suffered a failure during a race. A member of the Xtrac team took a picture of the damage and uploaded that photo to AdaptiveWork. The image sparked a conversation around how to solve the customer\u2019s problem. The entire discussion was tracked in a single project, providing global visibility for anyone to access and contribute ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xtrac\u2019s usage of Planview AdaptiveWork has only grown, expanding to over 150 users across three locations. Engineering design, production planning, commercial, and build and test teams all have access to this single source of information and are more collaborative than ever before. They can also rely on Planview for continued support as they expand and grow the business globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-product-portfolio-management-automotive-organizations\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Product_Portfolio_Management_Automotive_Organizations\"><\/span>Product Portfolio Management Automotive Organizations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Automotive and OEM manufacturers across the globe work with Planview to connect their business from ideas to impact, giving a much-needed boost to helping them deliver what matters most.<a aria-label=\"\u00a0Learn more  (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/lp\/automotive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">\u00a0Learn more about <\/a>how we can help your automotive business gain real-time visibility, proactively manage risks, provide flexibility to work out of the office, and deliver greater business impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When working with outdated systems and processes, teams across industries and functions face similar problems: duplicate work, siloed communications, no single source of truth, and a lack of tracking.
