At any given time, most software development organizations are working on a variety of projects in various lifecycle stages. Depending on the services licensed by your organization, your project portfolio may contain early feasibility assessments for projects in the proposal phase, detailed estimates of planned or in-progress projects, and completed (historical) projects used to support benchmarking and productivity analysis or tune future estimates to past performance. Fortunately, SLIM-Collaborate is designed to support project analysis and data capture throughout the project lifecycle and supports data exchange with SLIM-Suite desktop applications if you need to leverage the power of the desktop tools.
From the Back Office menu, projects can be imported from the SLIM-Suite desktop applications to the Estimation and Closeout services and Closeout projects can be exported to facilitate advanced lifecycle management, trend creation, and data analysis tasks.
