Rapidly create your initial project schedule by copying standard project templates and work breakdown structures for different types of development project. Templates can be as simple or complex as required
Adjust your project schedule using a powerful yet easy-to use web-based, graphical, schedule editor
Define activity and inter-project dependencies, activity durations, milestones and start and end dates constraints
Plan and manage iterative ‘agile’ development approaches to build and test the product
Support matrix-based project plans, assigning sub-projects to different R&D groups
Auto calculate project duration, cost, gate dates and product launch dates, and identify the project critical path
Use powerful estimation rules to identify specific activity durations based on product complexity.
Save multiple schedule baselines, to record approved project plans at each gate review |
Perform what-if analysis on modifying activities, durations and dependencies, to find ways to accelerate launch dates
Maintain a risk register to identify, track and mitigate project risks
Identify the project team and assign activities to named individuals
Provide project team members with a graphical display of all work they have been assigned to, across multiple projects
Track activity and project progress and monitor key trend indicators such as schedule variance, cost variance, resource variance, project risk and earned value
Take corrective action on your project to overcome forecast launch date slippage, by adjusting the plan or applying more resources
