A typical IT department is a lot like a manufacturing assembly line. Whether producing mainframe code for financial apps or providing new employees with laptops and the correct security permissions IT must coordinate with other IT business processes.
Unlike a well-run assembly line, however, most IT processes don't flow automatically and efficiently. Instead, many vital processes are managed ad hoc: with e-mail, spreadsheets, and calendars on clipboards. These manual processes are fraught with error and potentially costly mistakes. And there's no way to trace them for future improvement.
When critical processes run poorly, it results in increased costs, diminished quality, and heightened risk. TeamTrack helps organizations coordinate the execution of application development activities across the entire IT organization. IT process management solutions make it possible to:
- Provide faster and more accurate communication to business
- Optimize information sharing and work distribution across teams
- Provide visibility, control and transparency into IT and application development activities

- Capture metrics in the context of work review and completion without getting in the way of the team members
