VisibleThread helps program leaders, PMOs and business analyst teams control delivery risk by scanning documents for defects and gaps.
Top-performing organizations apply reference models, standards, and other methodologies to improve processes & efficiencies in the delivery cycle (often called SDLC).
The best organizations put in place process and quality improvement teams or PMOs but there remain many challenges: implementing program/project review stages is both manual and time-consuming, program leaders rarely have the luxury of being able to scan/review all project documents objectively.
Ultimately, the risk of missing strategically important project/program milestones increases if there is untapped risk (& under scoped obligations) lurking in BRDs (Business requirements Definition) and associated docs.
“VisibleThread is an innovative product that addresses a critical business need where knowing a document exists, such as for project specifications, is not enough, and there is a need to go further to eliminate ambiguities and gain insight into content compliance.”
- Michael Azoff, Principal Analyst, Ovum
