Project Management Solution
Digité ALM on SaaS: Project Management Solution
Planning, managing and executing projects is a reality in any organization today. Typical PM tools are great at project planning, but provide very little support for project execution, be it tracking all aspects of work on project or letting you monitor both planned and unplanned work. While the Project WBS is a great place to start a project, a lot of the work gets tracked through email and spreadsheet which can easily be overlooked when measuring the overall project status and cost.
If you are looking for a simple yet 'standardized' way to manage any kind of a project, Digité's Project Management solution is for you. Digité's Project Management solution combines the best of Digité's experience with its customers, their best practices and standards, as well as principles of standardized frameworks such as PM-BoK and CMMI. At the same time, it combines functionality that enable both easy Project Planning/ Management as well as effective Project Execution and Monitoring.
Digité's Project Management solution is a "best of both worlds" solution for organizations who want to follow and implement standard yet simple project management methods, as well as for the top management, which needs a consolidated view of all projects, without spending a fortune on disparate tools.
