This Fribourg-based architectural firm uses Monday to manage all its projects, and to plan and monitor team workloads over time.
Architectural firms are often characterized by a delicate balance between a large number of projects and a relatively small team of collaborators. These often large-scale projects extend over several months or even years, making resource allocation a particularly complex task. Anticipating team workloads is a constant exercise, but imprecise and time-consuming, leaving planning uncertain and vulnerable to the unexpected.
Before adopting a unified solution, this architectural firm was struggling to maintain a clear view of its business. Project tracking was fragmented, with a lack of connection between the macro view of the portfolio (the project status summary) and the minutiae of planning (who's doing what, and when?). This lack of global visibility threatened not only project profitability, but also the well-being of teams, often faced with an unbalanced workload.
The aim was to radically simplify management of the entire project lifecycle, by centralizing planning, resource allocation and tasks. The firm was looking for a platform capable of transforming delicate management into a precise process, from the strategic view of the portfolio to the operational planning of day-to-day tasks.
By adopting Monday Work Management, the office transformed its project management from a reactive approach to proactive planning. With project portfolio, resource manager and workload tracking functionalities, the solution centralized all data, providing total, shared visibility of activity.
This integration has dramatically shortened planning times, a crucial time-saver that allows teams to concentrate on what's essential: creativity and design. Project managers can now anticipate the needs of the coming months effortlessly, at a glance. Workloads are better anticipated and updated in real time according to task progress, fed directly by teams in the field.
In short, Monday has become the central tool for ensuring smooth coordination between strategic vision and day-to-day operations, guaranteeing greater project profitability and a healthier balance for teams.
