Features
Click each of the following features to learn more about the key capabilities of Open Text Program Management:
-
Leverage program-specific functions
Access Tags, Gates, Team, Processes, Action Items and Issues from the Program workspace.
-
Create process templates
Define formal processes as templates that new projects in the organization must follow. Process templates can be specified to enable multiple stages to occur simultaneously, or required to occur sequentially.
-
Structure processes with stages and gates
Project tasks are organized according to stages and gates. Stages are instances of task processes, and gates are instances of review processes. Stages and gates are paired and an object-search task stage is accompanied by a review gate.
-
Add multiple tasks to stages
Each stage can have multiple tasks assigned to it. For example, an "Idea Formulation" stage could consist of several tasks, such as "Conduct Market Research." Each task has a duration and required deliverables, such as 5 days to deliver a market research summary document. Tasks can also be assigned sub-tasks, or specified as dependant on other tasks.
-
Specify detailed review processes
A gate object is paired with each stage object. For example, the Idea Formulation stage could be paired with an Idea Screen review session for the stakeholders to determine if any of the ideas generated are appropriate for the company. Gates can be assigned durations and deliverables as well.
-
Specify rights and roles
Specify rights and roles to control which users can access a Program project.
-
Import and export processes
Program Management's robust XML support enables you to import and export program objects in XML. You can also import Microsoft Project plans into Program Management.
