Traditional Collaboration Processes Lack Required Capabilities
> Many tools used to manage projects and facilitate collaboration are rudimentary
– Telephone, Fax & Email– FTP– Exchange information via a shared Web page– Courier – Web Meetings – Microsoft Project
> No way to know if data being shared is outdated or inaccurate information
11PTC Confidential
> Collaborating on product development activities across distance and teams – In a secure and coordinated fashion– Intelligently incorporating rich product design content
> Exchanging product and manufacturing information with partners and suppliers– Working with diverse software tools and applications– Standardize work practice– Managing change reviews, approvals and implementation activities– Managing and protecting intellectual property
> Optimizing business processes– Driving conformity to standard processes – Automating burdensome manual activities– Gaining visibility into key activity status
> Completing projects on-time and on-budget– Sharing and maintaining the project plan– Making trade-off decisions across projects– Gaining visibility into current project status– Notifying impacted parties of changes
Collaborative Project Management Challenges
Working with cross functional, cross enterprise teams across multiple geographies
12PTC Confidential
> Companies perform better when they – Take a broader business perspective on
program management to include:• Product development• Scheduling, tracking • Bid management
– Effectively manage projects– Rely on empowered leaders using business-
oriented processes– Enable these processes with effective tools
and performance metrics
> Companies are more successful with a comprehensive business perspective of program management
– Win a high percentage of award fees – Complete projects on time and on budget
