Agile Development Brings Benefits in Tough Financial Times
Agile software development has become a mainstream practice that can reduce cost and accelerate revenue compared to traditional phased development methods. When the economy is in turmoil and budgets are shrinking, Agile can help an organization get more for every dollar of development spending. Experienced Agile teams are more productive than traditional development teams, resulting in more efficient use of people, the most expensive element of software development. An Agile Enterprise can gain significant competitive advantage by getting products to market sooner. All of these advantages can be explained in terms of Agile principles and practices. Experienced Agile Coaches can help ensure success when implementing Agile.

Project Management Solutions: PMRx

Project management is a critical, yet underappreciated part of every business endeavor. Whether you’re managing the installation of a single office computer or overseeing a multi-million dollar upgrade to your IT infrastructure, you’ll find that staying current with the entire project’s associated people, requirements, ideas, tasks, documents, and templates is challenging – at best.

Not only is project management challenging, but the quality of its execution can change the result of an otherwise well-executed project. Not having a clear idea of what work has been completed, what is underway, what is still to be started, and when everything is due can cause project resources to waste time doing what has already been done, or use erroneous data for project assumptions. Similarly, all of the technical details of a project might be completed early and under budget, but if the project manager cannot locate necessary project data when requested by executives or the client, faith in the reliability of the project, the vendor, and the project’s benefits will be shaken.

CIBER’s Project Management Solution

To address these challenges, CIBER, Inc. has developed PMRx, a web-based project control and repository workspace. Using PMRx, project managers, team members, and stakeholders can easily collaborate and share information.

PMRx sites are designed to support CIBER’s project management and delivery methodologies. The sites are customizable to accommodate the unique needs of each project, client, team, and deliverables. Users can view PMRx data from any computer with an internet connection, so they can continue to work while at the office, home, the airport, or an Internet café.  And regardless of where a user views a PMRx project site, the project data is secure—only authorized users with correct permissions and security information can enter the system.  Finally, PMRx offers repositories, project logs, discussion boards, and a dashboard of project metrics so users can see at a glance the overall project status.

PMRx Features

PMRx offers a number of tools and features, such as:

Automated E-mail Notification
Each list, library, and log has a fully automated e-mail notification capability that alerts team members as project information is published or altered.  This reduces the burden of manually notifying other team members about project changes.

Document Sharing
The PMRx project site is specifically designed to provide a simple means to upload project files and documents. The Document Library presents all project-related files and documents that team members have posted, and maintains them in an easily accessible and searchable repository.  The Document Libraries also maintain the version history of each document.

Information Views
PMRx project sites allow for custom views of the information contained in the project site.  Initial standard views are established at the time a project site is created, and new, customizable views can be quickly developed to meet the particular needs of the project.

Threaded Discussions
PMRx improves communication between team members and eliminates communication gaps that exist within teams and in correspondence with clients and external suppliers through the use of threaded discussions.  Team members can post topics and queries that other project members can respond to.  This feature is especially useful when distributed delivery teams are supporting an engagement.

Control Logs
Project risks, issues, changes and other control logs are a standard subset of each PMRx project site.  In accordance with project management best practices, the logs monitor and control these elements of a project and provide insight into how each risk, issue, or change request is being addressed.

PMRx Benefits

The features offered by PMRx are only helpful if they can be translated into discernable benefits to the project manager, team, and client. With PMRx, you can:

Enhance Communication
PMRx is a digital workplace that improves communication between team members. Instead of using only e-mail and voicemail as a means of communication, people located down the hall and across the globe can interact directly and in real-time. Threaded discussions and document-sharing help team members collaborate effectively and create better products more efficiently.

Improve Accessibility
Since the PMRx application is web-based, it allows access and control of project activities and information from anywhere at any time, making it easy to oversee teams and their work efforts.

Access Real-Time Project Status
Using the PMRx dashboard, project managers can quickly gather accurate and up-to-date project status information for impromptu executive meetings or client requests—even if the project manager is out of the office (as long as a computer and internet connection are available).

Security
PMRx sites are hosted and maintained by a centralized team, and all permissions to a project site are based on request by the project manager or assigned project team member and submitted electronically to the PMRx administration team.  These requests are reviewed validated and permissions are provided if everything passes strict requirements based on the PMRx manual. Security can be provided to both internal CIBER project team members and the client teams as requested. No parties outside of the project team and executive leadership are able to access the project site without expressed permissions by the project manager.

Reduce Costs
Global projects mean global team members with associated high business travel costs. While PMRx will not eliminate the need for in-person interaction, it can decrease the frequency of these meetings and thus reduce overall travel costs.

No Special Hardware/Software Required
PMRx is entirely web-based, requiring only Internet access and a recent version of a commercial web browser.  No additional or custom software or hardware is required. (The system works optimally with Operating System XP, Microsoft Office 2003/2007 and Internet Explorer 6.0 or 7.0.)

CIBER provides the PMRx system to all of our clients as part of our standard tool set—there is no additional or hidden cost.
