When Maggie and Jean first met, it was obvious that a creative powerhouse had been found; with Maggie being a well-known painter, and with Jean being a well-established photographer. When both looked to start a small business together, event planning was an obvious choice, as Jean had many connections in the wedding-planning business.
This creative duo began small, but quickly the new business mushroomed - and all of a sudden they were deluged with logistical challenges; for example, how to corral florists, photographers, caterers, clergy, venue owners and other hospitality reps into the same room, so to speak.
The solution was to employ Business (PMO) plan, and to set up the team for collaboration and cooperation in a digital space. Now Maggie acts as a project manager (who would have thought an oil painter could do that!), with Jean handling the hiring of photographers and other subcontractors.
"We love Project Plan 365, as without it we could not work with as many people as we do, and our event scheduling would not be as coordinated. What a great tool for all of us!"
