Project management tools for implementing Quality Models E.g. CMMI, ISO or PMI-PMBOK

CMMI is the Capability Maturity Model Integration of more mature system project and software engineering introduced by SEI in Sept. 2001. The model can guide an organization to improve its process for development, maintenance, purchase and service. ISO 9001:2000 is another quality model that can be applied in many different industries.

PMBOK, Project Management Body of Knowledge, developed by Project Management Institute (PMI) is becoming the de facto standard for the project management profession. PMBOK contains the fundamental, baseline practices for the professionals working in the project management to refer to.

 

The IPMS web-based project management software tool was designed for organizations that are planning to get, or already achieved CMMI / ISO. This award winning software was designed to be highly configurable, so that it can be suited to the specific requirements of individual companies by simply choosing the right configuration profile. IPMS is fully integrated with the Microsoft Project software. The project manager can continue to plan the project using the MS Project, and use IPMS for the execution and control.The whole project team and other relevant personnel can work collaboratively or view the project information.

IPMS addresses the following requirements in companies:

※ Managing Quality Processes – for defining and maintaining the templates, guidelines, checklists, and forms. When a project is initiated, the appropriate set of process components are selected.

  • Resource utilization – helps the organization to optimize resources. The manager has complete information about the resource loading based on booking, work plan and the resource calendar.
  • Tracking project progress – helps to keep the plans update through out the project execution.
  • Capturing Metrics – different sets of metrics are defined as different metrics groups for different types of projects. When a project is initiated, the appropriate metrics group is selected.
  • Visibility of performance – role based access, and highly configurable dashboards for different project stakeholders.
  • Integration – there are often many separate systems and silos of data in a company. WPBN is a single system integrating key processes.
  • Flexibility in report generation – powerful e-dashboards, query builders, and report builders for the users to retrieve information easily.
