Yoxel Project Management Portal is an integrated project management portal solution that provides new generation of collaborative tools for adaptive product and project management.
2. Project Management Challenges
Project planning process is very inaccurate and inefficient
One person (project manager) is gathering and processing large
amounts of data (list of tasks, priorities, risks, dependencies, time
estimates, resource allocation parameters)
Manually synchronizing multiple tools (Excel, MS Project, Bug-
tracker) and duplicating a lot of information
Project execution easily gets off of track
Existing tools do not allow to have real-time accurate project status
Project manager fails to notice execution problems soon enough
Clear communication is hindered by lack of integration among various
tools used in the project management process

3. Traditional PM model
R&D/QA
Field/Support PM Project
Marketing
Inefficient data input and synchronization
Unrealistic and inaccurate estimation
High risk of improper prioritization
Low visibility into project execution progress
Hindered team communication

4. Development vs. PM gap
Development and PM teams use different tools
MS Project/Excel used by project and product managers
A bug/request tracker used by R&D and QA teams
The tools lack proper integration
