IRVINE, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/06/12 — , Project Insight is being used by RuggedCom in Concord, Ontario, Canada. RuggedCom designs and manufactures industrially hardened communication IP routers and Ethernet devices that are meant to withstand harsh electrical and climactic environments. Project Insight-s project and portfolio management software helps the project team at RuggedCom manage their growing list of projects effectively.
At RuggedCom, the product development lifecycle projects are all interrelated; the hardware engineers develop the modules for projects and the software engineers develop software to correlate with the hardware needs. Due to exponential growth over the past ten years, RuggedCom found that Excel was no longer an effective tool to manage the complex interdependencies among their projects. The Quality Manager for the engineering department explained, “Excel sheets showed work breakdowns but they did not effectively communicate project plans across departments.”
RuggedCom-s engineering department needed a project management solution that would:
Manage the growing number of projects efficiently
Handle cross project dependencies and tasks
Communicate project plans, status and time reports clearly among departments
The project team needed a system that manages the entire lifecycle from planning, design, programming, execution to quality assurance (QA), spanning multiple departments. They required a solution that was easy to use, had a graphical overview of all projects and tasks, and one that offered cross project dependencies.
The adoption of Project Insight was simple and swift. The project and portfolio management software assisted in defining the milestones of a project as well as establishes a common terminology. After implementing Project Insight, the team at RuggedCom has experienced improved interaction among departments as deliverables are now clearly communicated. The manager ecstatically said, “Project Insight has raised project awareness and improved interaction between departments.” Project Insight serves as a single focal point. When the engineering department used Excel, project artifacts were scattered, but now everything is available through the project web application.
