  Project Management Challenges Projectplanning process is very inaccurate and inefficient One person (project manager) is gathering and processing large amounts of data (list of tasks, priorities, risks, dependencies, time estimates, resource allocation parameters) Manually synchronizing multiple tools (Excel, MS Project, Bug- tracker) and duplicating a lot of information Project execution easily gets off of track Existing tools do not allow to have real-time accurate project status Project manager fails to notice execution problems soon enough Clear communication is hindered by lack of integration among various tools used in the project management process 2

  Project planning becomesmuch simpler Leverage your existing backlog (existing bug/request tracker) All requests entered by other team members or customers in the past are available for simple and quick inclusion into a plan. Automatically inherit hierarchy and dependencies of requests already defined in the backlog Plan collaboratively to speed up and improve the process Allow multiple project members to add requests to the plan Allow selected members to vote on priorities of the tasks to mitigate the risks of improper prioritization in isolation. Quickly get implementation and test estimates from appropriate task owners in R&D and QA Allow R&D and QA managers do resource allocation Promote open collaboration in your team Receive more support from your team in critical decision making 7
