A small R&D pharmaceutical organization (<100 employees) within a larger parent company struggled to manage its diverse project portfolio. With over 10 active projects at any time, cross-functional collaboration was critical, but inconsistent project management processes, siloed timelines, and inefficient reporting created delays and resource strain. Team members spent excessive time generating reports instead of focusing on strategic work.
