SD Toolkit is a powerful software development tool exclusively designed for
the effective management of software development projects.
Develop and manage your documents with SD Toolkit over your intranet or the
Internet to ensure effective planning, operations, and control of processes.
Automatically select and design a software project plan, manage people, and
aggregate and catalog all documents handled by project team members no matter
where they are in the world!
Software developers, managers, executives:
- Meet customers' specifications.
- Deliver software on time and
on budget.
- Meet potential future requirements.
Managing software projects and processes can be inherently complex and often
involve a large number of people, situations, and organizations. Projects must
succeed according to promise, without disrupting current operations. At the
same time, they must meet development requirements. SD Toolkit was designed to
help lower the risks and cost of software projects, which can affect every
department and process in the organization. SD Toolkit was based on Wizdom's
own proven MinervaTM and Spiral development methodologies used in
thousands of successful projects.
How SD Toolkit Works
- The Project Manager selects the pre-loaded software development template
(or develops and inputs his/her own).
- A new project is generated that includes the schedule, sample
documentation, pointers to resources, and information files (or upload all of
your existing projects and manage them as well).
- Team members are then automatically instructed about their next task,
where to put deliverables, and how to do each step for which they are
responsible.
- The project schedule, documentation, and team are easily tracked in one
place - on-line, in the SD Toolkit!
Use SD Toolkit to:
- Manage all software development projects.
- Automatically select and design a software project plan.
- Decrease cost and increase productivity.
- Manage multiple software requirements documents.
- Manage people.
- Aggregate and catalog all documents handled by project team members.
- Facilitate the software development process by embedding the processes,
how-to's, and documentation on an interactive, web-based platform available
to the entire team.
- Contextually match project work to deliverables, ensuring that team
members know exactly how and when to do each task.
- Keep track of document revision and authors, creating an audit trail of
work completed via the Knowledge Management (KM) and Project Management (PM)
features.
