- Integrated Issue Tracking: DevPlan harnesses the power of DevTrack, already used by thousands of customers, to track project tasks. By separating the high-level planning from tactical execution functions, DevPlan allows for management to drive the project while being agile in their response to issues.
- Integrated Knowledge Base: Keep your data synchronized within a searchable knowledge framework. DevPlan leverages your intellectual assets, communicating a clear vision by linking specifications, requirements, designs, prototypes, and other documents to an area of the project. These documents are then communicated to all resources involved in the execution of the project. This allows for an uncompromised vision to direct the path of the development.
- Promote teamwork and collaboration: Project managers, team members, and other stakeholders or partners can access the living project plan over an intranet, extranet, or the Internet. DevPlan is built on a secure web-services model.
- Built-in reports and analysis: DevPlan's reporting engine serves as project planning command-center. Reports allow project management to quickly identify and mitigate risks, before they have a chance to affect the project. The reporting also features powerful historical analysis, enabling a company to learn from past projects.
