Fortune 500 client in the Hi-Tech industry
A collaborative program management platform,
which integrated several disconnected solutions used by teams globally distributed
during the development & release phase of their product lifecycle.
|
|
Client’s portfolio comprises of products which have multiple components like wireless,
firmware, software, etc. each of which is developed by teams which are globally
distributed & managed independently. Each of the component development teams
follows their own processes to manage the development activities & also adopt
tools which best suit their needs resulting in lack of standardization on tool adaptation.
Few of the problems originating from these are
- Program delays
resulting from lack of visibility into status across each of the component teams
- Lack of meaningful reporting
on information managed across multiple systems was impossible
- Manual data synchronization resulted in
loss of accuracy & integrity of information
- Lack of automation
of processes, requiring manual enforcement to policies
A program management platform modeled using BizAPP offering key features such as
–
- Process aware non-intrusive integration
of tools used with-in teams and across
- BizAPP’s dynamic virtualization normalized
information sourced from disconnected systems
For e.g. some teams used EPM for managing schedule, while few used Excel or built-in
schedule management in BizAPP, but PMD enabled working with these in a tool independent
manner
- BizAPP patent pending versioning of information
provided a solution which was unthinkable prior to PMD, using which program managers
could step back in time and review actually program status at any given point in
time. Making impossible POSSIBLE
- Automated rules based synchronization of data
- Delays in a specific component development would be automatically propagated to
all other dependent components based on rules, etc.
- Roles and responsibility based management portal to review
program status
- 100% AJAX enabled user interface with drill down capability
enabling information at finger tips.
- Access to information which was out-of-bounds prior to
PD3 given the limitations in point solution,
- e.g. information managed in Excel by some teams were not
accessible by others in a centralized manner, requiring sharing of Excel by email
or such resulting in loss of integrity,
- Results from testing system managed using home grown solution
was not easily accessible by all concerned across distributed sites for analysis
and further action,
- Reporting and analytics which spans solution boundaries
was made possible
- Multisite capability in BizAPP enabled process aware replication
of information across sites.
ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO WRITE A SINGLE LINE OF CODE
