Boost Your Project Portfolio’s Business Impact With Epicflow’s Microsoft PPM Tool

Epicflow handles this multi-project complexity. It enhances Microsoft project management software with advanced PPM capabilities by adding what’s been missing:
Instead of creating perfect project plans and chasing deadlines,
Epicflow focuses on what really drives portfolio value –
value-driven prioritization,
managing constraints, and improving flow across the portfolio

Epicflow’s Microsoft PPM Tool Success Stories & Case Studies
Defense Sector:
Optimizing Portfolio Performance
A $1B+ defense program struggled with too many parallel projects, no clear prioritization, and overloaded teams. Despite significant budgets, completing projects on time was a constant challenge. After implementing Epicflow:
- Reducing work in progress and balancing capacity across projects
- Lead times reduced by 30%+
- Due date performance improved by up to 300%
- No increase in headcount required
The key shift: Managing resource constraints instead of just budgets
Pharmaceutical Case:
Scaling Software Delivery
A large US pharmaceutical company struggled with a growing backlog, overloaded development teams, lack of prioritization, and limited visibility into resource capacity. Their workflow didn’t provide insights needed to coordinate projects and teams effectively. After implementing Epicflow:
- The management has visibility into all projects and resources
- Workloads matches to actual capacity, eliminating bottlenecks
- Decisions are made based on predictive insights
- Team output has increased without extra resources
The key shift: Bridging the gap between team execution and executive decision making
A&D Company: Completing More Projects With the Same Resources
A UK defense organization was struggling with missed due dates, overloaded teams, scattered resource pools, and limited real‑time visibility into its project environment. Leadership needed a way to grow the business and deliver more projects, but lacked the data and tools to coordinate distributed teams and make informed decisions. After implementing Epicflow:
- Identifying and eliminating bottlenecks
- Unifying distributed teams under a single view
- Revealing the potential to deliver 10% more work with the same resources
- Improved decision making with real‑time analytics and simulation testing
The key shift: Reorganizing work around actual resource capacity and predictive insights
