Whether you are managing a handful of small IT projects for a small organization or a large volume of IT projects for a multi-national company, PD-Trak is your IT project management software solution.  PD-Trak provides a project planning roadmap, and supporting tools, that covers essential activities such as requirements/system definition, prototype development, validation testing and verification of the implemented solution.  These activities are planned and executed under the structure of a stage / phase-gate process. 

PD-Trak provides tools for capturing ideas for future IT projects with simple ranking tools to select the strongest ideas. A project is then created to develop the idea following the structure of the phase-gate process which guides the project team to develop the idea, to determine if it provides the basis for a viable and attractive IT project.  In some cases the work in the early phases may result in a project definition, strategy and/or business case that is not sufficiently compelling in the eyes of the management team, in which case the project would be killed at one of the early gate reviews. The strongest projects will pass these reviews and proceed into development with a high probability of success. 

Map In Your Own Phase-Gate Process or Purchase A Predefined Process Template

If you already have an effective phase-gate process you can create your own process template within PD-Trak.  If you don't have a phase-gate process to guide your IT project activities, you may consider purchasing a proven process template from PD-Trak Solutions.  These process templates include a definition of the stages / phases that the project will pass through, phase objectives statements, task and document deliverables for each phase, a set of document templates and tools that are optimized for managing IT projects.  The process and related tools can be used as-is or can be adapted to meet the specific needs of your company.
