Lighthouse - The Merger of Project Portfolio & Lifecycle Management
For too long, software teams have been forced to rely on a patchwork quilt of project and lifecycle management tools to keep their software projects on track. This causes huge problems for software teams. Project data regarding budgets, schedules, status, quality, and performance can't be correlated in real-time, if at all. Traditionally, effective collaboration is next to impossible, as team members spend countless hours just trying to stay in sync with each other through status reports, meetings and other administrative activities. Worst of all, with project data scattered across a myriad of systems, servers, and inboxes too often risk factors cannot be identified and corrected early enough to avoid project delays and failures.
The merger of Project, Portfolio and Lifecycle Management capabilities into a single solution changes all that. It brings together all critical software project tools and data in a single, integrated system, so that software teams finally have an information source they can trust and rely upon. Project data on budgets, schedules, status, quality and performance can be correlated and reported on instantly. Collaboration is continuous, as team member have total visibility into the overall project and work being performed by their team members. Most importantly, with all data in one, structured repository, team members are automatically alerted about potential risk factors, and are able to adjust course in real-time to ensure project success.
