YOXEL SW Adaptive Project Management

Project Management Challenges
Project planning process is very inaccurate and inefficientOne person (project manager) is gathering and processing large amounts of data (list of tasks, priorities, risks, dependencies, time estimates, resource allocation parameters)Manually synchronizing multiple tools (Excel, MS Project, Bug-tracker) and duplicating a lot of information
Project execution easily gets off of trackExisting tools do not allow to have real-time accurate project status Project manager fails to notice execution problems soon enoughClear communication is hindered by lack of integration among various tools used in the project management process

Project planning becomes much simplerLeverage your existing backlog (existing bug/request tracker)
All requests entered by other team members or customers in the past are available for simple and quick inclusion into a plan.Automatically inherit hierarchy and dependencies of requests already defined in the backlog
Plan collaboratively to speed up and improve the process Allow multiple project members to add requests to the planAllow selected members to vote on priorities of the tasks to mitigate the risks of improper prioritization in isolation.Quickly get implementation and test estimates from appropriate task owners in R&D and QAAllow R&D and QA managers do resource allocation
Promote open collaboration in your teamReceive more support from your team in critical decision making

Clear visibility during execution Provide real-time accurate project status
Automatically get real-time status updates for all individual requests/tasks from your backlogAccurately predict the time required to implement and test remaining portion of the project
Avoid unpleasant surprises and react to issues in time“Planned vs. Actual" monitor shows you right away when a task is not moving as plannedRole based dashboards allow individual team members to know exactly what requires their attention, according to their responsibilities
Enable clear communication in context of the projectGet feedback from any team member regarding risks, issues, and recommendations through a dedicated project communication panel.
