OBJECTIVE
Project Manager provides deliverables-based project management that links
product development data with a project to enable real-time monitoring and
assessment. This connection enables project managers to focus more time on
true project management activities such as evaluating progress, identifying and
reducing risks, and aligning resources to maintain schedules.
 HIGHLIGHTS
• Connect product development data and Project Manager supports all phases of development,

to consult multiple systems or spend time manually
collecting project status from team members.

Project managers are able to associate the definition

and development of the product portfolio with the
project tracking used to govern it. Implications
of portfolio decisions can be quickly assessed
against the project schedule. As a result, a project
manager can significantly improve project execution
and performance with the ability to more rapidly
understand and resolve issues.

Users managing multiple projects can bring all the

projects under the umbrella of a Program. This lets
