Professional
Project
Management
Solution
GWL enables you to create, track, and maintain your projects online. It provides enterprise-level Project Management tools that include contact management, an email notification system, and an online system to create and manage projects.
A few of the
many things
you can do
in GWL are:
* Set up a project and its tasks;
* Communicate with everyone on the project team from within GWL;
* See projects as Gantt charts;
* Check task progress quickly with Calendar and Events.
GWL has great features for communicating with your contacts and resources. Even so, it is not intended as a groupware tool. Groupware is generally used to describe desktop or web-based applications that enable users to work collaboratively. It is focused specifically on Project Management instead of being a generic groupware application. It does contain forums, calendar, and email functionality that are often associated with groupware tools, so that users can collaborate for the purpose of Project Management.

Software projects are
inherently complex, risky and require careful
planning. Planning software includes
development, estimates, staged development,
requirements capture, risk and change management
control procedures, business case studies, user
interface prototypes, and overall project
control. Proper
planning ensures that the project does not move
away from its targeted goals while the customer
gets clear definition of the project and is in
the know of the project status and has ready
access to project deliverables at any point of
time. To ensure timely and
quality delivery for 100% client satisfaction we
implement the following:
Prototypes and Staged
Deliveries
* Projects that define deliverables in terms of prototype, phases or stages identify risks and constraints early on and are able to plan and implement counter measures with greater success.
* Customers who receive small releases regularly during the project gain trust more easily than those who are in the 'dark' and are awaiting the end of the project for a whole set of deliverables that may be delivered in whatsoever form.
* The functionality is developed and delivered in stages thus ensuring that the most important function is delivered at the earliest.
* Reduces the possibility of error estimations.
* Project visibility to customers and upper management increases.
Weekly
Status Reports
After the end of every week, we send a Status Report to our clients telling them about:
* The activities originally planned for the last week.
* The activities actually performed in the last week.
* The activities planned for the coming week.
* Issues, if any.
* Changes to the Stage Schedule, and reasons for them.
* Overall project status.
Comprehensive Bug
Management
Bugs are part of every product development process. How do you track them during product development process and after that? Bugs that are found but not properly tracked might slip away. We use the leading bug and defect-tracking tool, which leads to:
* Streamlined software development and maintenance.
* Clear, updated information about the status of each bug or defect.
* Full control over the workflow.
* History of work done on each bug, defect or enhancement being always a click away.
* A fully integrated solution that enables users to input and track new bugs, defects, and issues in general.
Version Control
We use the most popular version controlling tools - SVN, CVS and Visual Source Safe. On specific client requirements, we can also use specific source control products.
Knowledge
Management System
We understand the power of Knowledge Management, and we have in place Knowledge Management System to ensure that we solve a problem just once. This drastically reduces the time of solving some of the most common, but difficult issues.
