Solution Capabilities
Bill of Materials Management
Create a conceptual representation of the product (logical/physical) and associate it to WBS for planning purposes. Build the detailed BOM from this representation during the execution phase.
Change Management
Associate program changes directly to project plans. Coordinate the design and release of items under configuration control across multiple, often related, projects.
Document Management & Publishing
Keep design and documentation aligned with product changes to reduce development time and cost while improving document accuracy and effectiveness. Support contract data requirements.
Organization & Navigation
Manage a library of common WBS. Create WBS for a specific program by copying the applicable elements from the common WBS. Define work packages, resource estimates and deliverables.
Program Planning
Create a program IMP with events, accomplishments, and criteria. Identify, link, and report WBS elements associated with each critieria.
Project Management
Auto-generate schedules using work elements from the pgram WBS and the IMP. Assign resources and manage deliverables. Update schedule based on changes to the WBS for recovery and risk mitigation.
Verification & Validation
Capture all relevant program and project requirements. Associate requirements to program items to track and ensure execution against those requirements.
Workflow Management
Manage the evolution of the program plan and leverage workflows to control the execution of change items or tasks for a program.
