Beauty Prism is a digital solution developed to structure, standardize, and centralize the management of the corporate project portfolio.
The project was implemented to replace decentralized controls and manual consolidations with an integrated platform. Some initiatives were recorded in a corporate system, while other projects were controlled manually in Excel spreadsheets, requiring monthly consolidations prone to errors and compromising executive visibility into forecasts, risks, and variations.
The challenge
The organization initiated a strategic digital transformation agenda with the aim of modernizing internal processes, reducing rework, and increasing the reliability of information used in decision-making.
One of the main challenges was in managing the project portfolio. Some of the initiatives were recorded in a corporate system (Online), while other projects were controlled manually in Excel spreadsheets (Offline). At the end of each month, it was necessary to consolidate data from different sources into a single file, a highly manual process susceptible to errors that compromised executive visibility regarding forecasts, risks, and variations.
Problems
-
Projects registered in multiple systems
-
Dependency on parallel spreadsheets
-
Manual monthly data consolidation
-
Low executive visibility into forecasts, risks, and variations
Needs
-
Unify project management in a single platform
-
Standardize registrations and entries
-
Ensure reliable and continuous information updating
-
Automate tasks and notifications via Microsoft Teams
-
Structure governance with change history and traceability
Our approach
We adopted a model based on agile methodologies, with short delivery cycles and frequent validations with stakeholders, operating in a 100% remote and integrated format.
Main stages of the project:
-
Mapping and prioritization: Interviews with stakeholders, analysis of existing systems, and definition of priorities based on impact versus effort;
-
Strategic planning: Construction of a detailed roadmap, definition of milestones, and clear success criteria;
-
Technical execution in sprints: Incremental development in 2 to 4-week cycles;
-
Corporate integrations: Connectivity with Teams, SharePoint, and multiple data sources;
-
Testing and quality: Structured UAT, integrated tests, and iterative improvements;
-
Governance and monitoring: Agile rituals, executive dashboards, and monthly governance structure.
The solution
A complete system was implemented in Power Apps, supported by Power Automate and SharePoint, to centralize and manage the entire project portfolio.
Key highlights include:
-
Automatic integration with Online projects via Power Automate;
-
Strict standardization of Offline projects within Power Apps;
-
Portfolio consolidation into a single source of truth;
-
Structured control of phases, forecasts, and risks;
-
Automatic comparison of monthly variations (dates, values, risks, and status);
-
Automatic generation of tasks integrated into Microsoft Teams;
-
Logs, change history, and complete traceability for auditing.
In addition to the implementation, continuous post-go-live support was provided, ensuring the stability, evolution, and continuous improvement of the solution.
Results
The initiative transformed project portfolio management, increasing information reliability and decision-making capabilities.
The impacts were felt both in operations and strategic management:
Elimination of manual monthly consolidations
Significant reduction of rework and operational risks
Greater reliability and traceability of data
Real-time executive visibility
Standardization of processes across teams and regions
Agility in decision-making
Scalable structure for new digital initiatives
Greater transparency in strategic monitoring
Automation of operational tasks
Strategic Differential
The solution's differential lies not only in the digitization of project management but in the integrated architecture connecting data, processes, and corporate governance.
The solution combines:
-
Centralized portfolio management platform;
-
Integrations with the Microsoft ecosystem;
-
Automation of tasks and operational workflows;
-
Full traceability of changes;
-
Structure prepared for governance and auditing.
More than just a project control system, the solution establishes a new foundation of governance and operational intelligence for corporate portfolio management.
