Process Performance Management
View all the key data of a project at a single glance
Potential for optimisation on IT projects is either insufficiently tapped or not tapped at all due to a lack of up-to-date key project data. SQS-TEST®/Professional creates transparency in your IT projects. Standardised and company-wide reporting gives decision-makers and project team members an overview of the status of all activities. Therefore, on all project levels - from the strategic to the operational point of view - optimisation potential can be made transparent, thus enabling IT projects to be executed in a more cost effective way.
Creating transparency
SQS-TEST®/Professional Process Performance Management
(PPM) is an integrated platform for the implementation of
flexible project control stations and performance measurement
systems.
All relevant data on the themes task status; budgets and quality
are integrated in a centralised reporting system - where the
origin of the data is of no importance.
Many tools are used on current IT projects: among these are, in addition to project planning and management systems, development and quality assurance tools such as tools for deviation management and for configuration management.
In all these tools, you will find the relevant data with which to ascertain the current status of a project. In most cases, an integrated general view does not exist. This means that the potential for centralised control potential goes untapped; this potential can be leveraged very easily by using PPM.
With PPM, all required data and ratios of a project are displayed in a clear browser or dashboard view like the instrument panel in an aeroplane. Like the pilot, the project manager can thus quickly gain an overview of the current project situation. Coloured markings on each parameter, indicating that a predefined value range has been departed from, enable immediate reaction by the project manager to the "dangerous situation".
Gathering and displaying data
The basic idea of PPM is to leave the data where they are
best kept - in the original tools. The data is brought together
only for evaluation and is displayed in a clear web interface.
Existing work processes must not be rearranged; the unnecessary
double capturing of key data in additional tools is therefore
eliminated. As a result, SQS-TEST®/Professional Process
Performance Management avoids a central obstacle that frequently
thwarts the introduction of a central reporting system. Transparency
based on up-to-date key data becomes reality.
Tapping potential for optimisation
Untapped potential for optimisation is leveraged by setting
up a logical view - a control station view - of the whole
number of data sources. SQS-TEST®/Professional Process
Performance Management affords with that the overview of the
projects once more.
The PPM approach of providing standardised and uniform reporting,
regardless of which different tools are employed in the concrete
project, also makes it possible to compare IT projects. This
approach also affords once more a general view of all projects
at the company level.
Summary
SQS-TEST®/Professional Process Performance Management
brings transparency to your IT projects. The success of the
processes and the results quality of projects becomes tangible.
Thus decision-makers can identify alternative courses of action
and the productivity of the IT - also on outsourcing projects
- is increased. Strategic goals can also be presented transparently
at the operating level. Potential for control and optimisation
is identified early on and makes it possible to check and
control quality in IT. Quality is employed in a more economically
effective way to secure the added value of IT products and
services.
