Process Improvement
VisibleThread automatically analyzes your documents for best practices from inside MS Office, creating higher quality documentation.
Top-performing organizations apply reference models, standards, and other methodologies to improve processes in the SDLC and cut cost. But, that’s easier said than done.
The best organizations put in place process and quality improvement teams but there remain many challenges:
- Gathering objective metrics on the quality of documentation is difficult
- Different processes will be appropriate for different areas
- Not all process templates are appropriate for all sizes of projects
- Implementing review stages is manual and time-consuming
“…it’s like speed reading for large sets of unwieldy documents, that alone saves me valuable time in my review cycles.”
- David Abensour, CTO Agilisys
VisibleThread streamlines and dramatically improves process improvement efficiency by:
- Ensuring project documentation measures up to appropriate industry best practices (e.g. IIBA BABOK, ISO 9126)
- Providing consistent & objective metrics around how complete your documentation is
- Putting oversight in place without altering the way teams work
- Providing a 10,000-foot view of project documentation so that you can catch issues early on, before they sabotage your project
- Providing centralized reporting for every project initiative and its documentation
- Yielding over 65% ROI in year 1
