Project Slip Chart

Project Budget Performance

A metric tracking table automatically takes a snapshot of a customizable set of metrics at each gate or milestone and records it in a metrics tracking table to review how project performance and product metrics have changed over time.

Project Metrics Tracking

The project and product metrics can be customized for each type of development process to meet an organization's specific reporting and accounting requirements. This customized set of data is available for display within a project and at a summary level across all projects for management review in the Master Project Schedule.

PD-Trak™ also contains a rich set of data to develop additional metrics such as:

  • Mix of projects - new products, derivatives, upgrade
  • Average project size and size range
  • Average time to market and time to market range
  • Time to market by project type
  • Time to market trend
  • Breakeven time trend
  • Budget and schedule performance trend
  • Percent project cancellations by stage-gate
  • Project completions by year
  • And many others...
