Optimising Project Planning & Reporting with Power PPM.

The European Training Foundation (ETF) is a European Union agency that helps countries neighbouring the EU to reform their education and training systems as part of EU external relations policies. ETF work with various regions across the globe, juggling many different project workloads from different countries. Following the creation of a modern digitisation strategy that highlighted low-code development as the technology of choice to optimise project management, ETF partnered with Storm Technology.

Having first trialled Microsoft's Project for Web, ETF discovered a need for more advanced functionality and greater flexibility which led to Projectum's Power PPM, a project and portfolio management solution built on Microsoft's Power Platform. The introduction of Power PPM allowed ETF to optimise project planning and resource allocation, deliver enhanced transparency around spending which is important for ETF as a public body, and also leverage real-time data insights to streamline reporting and allow ETF staff to focus on more value-add tasks. Power PPM delivered on the advanced project mangement needs of ETF while also providing the flexibility and usability needed to enusre staff could transition to Power PPM more easily.

 "The system helps ETF manage internal planning making sure the projects are run efficiently, but it is also a source of verification of our spending and how we prioritise our work. Therefore, to manage all of this we needed a detailed system but also one that was user-friendly. We also required a solution that was not static, situations in our partner countries often change or there is a change in how the EU engage with particular partner countries and we need to be able to adapt."

"Thanks to Power PPM we can now take any task and easily define the amount of time value for resources allocated as well as seeing how much of the allocated resources have already been spent on the task. This helps ETF easily calculate the cost of resource time and the budget invested in a project to track the progress … What is really beneficial is having access to this real-time information down to the level of task up to the overall project detail."

"Power BI has really been a really impactful new feature for us … At ETF we have developed some 15 views and it’s also quite easy to learn for a non-IT person. Before the introduction of Power BI we used Excel, so I would have created the same graphs in Excel on a quarterly basis, updating the graphs and tables manually based on the information in different systems. Now the system can generate this information on demand."
