Get visibility across your products
If you can't answer yes to these questions, you're not alone. Most application development groups take an ad hoc approach to monitoring their activities, which gives them little to no visibility across new product releases. Without that visibility, they have no effective way to quickly flag issues, identify problems, prioritize potential new products or releases, or communicate commitments to key stakeholders. The results are inevitable excessive costs, wasted effort and lost opportunities. Quality and efficiency also suffer, since best practices are not duplicated across projects.
As other departments gain real-time visibility into key metrics you can better manage expectations and commitments. For example, business analysts can track incoming customer commitments rather than getting blind-sided during their next business stakeholder meeting.
Improve alignment with the business
Is it challenging to figure out which requests to pursue and in which order? Are you having a hard time saying "no" to new requests? Get started managing your incoming demand. Create a process and set of standards to consistently evaluate new ideas and requests. Make sure that new product and release ideas align well with corporate strategy and/or help differentiate against the competition. Don't rely any longer on the loudest voice getting first priority or simply saying "yes" to everyone.
Supports cross-platform and cross-methodology
Whether you develop using a traditional waterfall approach or agile (or both), whether you use existing Serena products such as TeamTrack or Dimensions or other development systems, Application Development Management can give you needed visibility across your development efforts. Application Development Management connects across these systems and makes it all available in one place.
