Scenario

Business needs

Solution

• Project managers use Microsoft Project Online and Project Profes-sional to create and maintain project schedules.

• The development team maintains the product backlog and all iterations/sprints, user stories, and tasks in Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services.

• PMO needs access to statuses and updates of all user stories and tasks.

• Incorporate user stories and their statuses into the Microsoft Proj-ect Online schedule.

• PMO and development teams need access to close-to-real-time updates of work progress.

The organization deploys FluentPro Integration Hub to maintain inte-grated business processes, and saves on development resources.

• Projects in Project Online and VSTS are linked together in the integration process.

• User stories and tasks are marked for synchronization in Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services.

• The synchronizations run as scheduled in an automated mode.• When the tasks and user stories are marked as completed, the

project plan is updated.• If needed, project managers may update project schedules by

rearranging WBS.

• With one consolidated portfolio/project view available, managerial efforts are optimized.

• The team of developers can focus on more important work now, with their time spent on progress reporting cut by 99%.

• When all the tools used in the organization are connected, project managers benefit from the more efficient data flow.

• Project and portfolio managers use Microsoft Project Online for portfolio management, portfolio analysis, and prioritization.

• They use Visual Studio Team Services to manage all development work.

• After the organization captures all new project ideas and initiatives in Microsoft Project Online, the epics selected/approved after prioritization need to be migrated to VSTS.

• Development teams need to be updated on prioritized projects and relevant tasks that have been migrated to VSTS.

• Connect Project Online with VSTS to facilitate SAFe processes.

The organization implements FluentPro Integration Hub to establish and maintain integrated business processes, and to support SAFe processes.

• With FluentPro Integration Hub, PMO performs prioritization in Project Online, and the projects selected after portfolio analysis flow to VSTS as epics with no need for manual entry.

• With synchronization achieved, development teams are able to view epics in VSTS.

• All updates flow effortlessly and efficiently between Microsoft Project Online and VSTS.

• With FluentPro Integration Hub, one consolidated portfolio view is obtained.

• The organizational management process is aligned with SAFe.• Development teams can immediately see the epics selected – as

the data flow becomes smoother and more efficient and the transparency of the processes goes up, the number of meetings required and the amount of manual, double entry of the data goes down.

• Much previously required time and effort is saved, optimizing the efficiency of business processes within the organization.
