Product Managers
Quickly and confidently report and track the product roadmap
Project Managers
Remain aware, react and adjust to stay on track or change the plan
Developers
Be confident that everyone in the organisation has accurate expectations
Progress tracking and alerts when off-track
- You don't need to chase up your people daily to update progress and effort remaining
- We do it automatically through daily emails where they can report these things with one click
- Based on these, we revise how your sprint, project and roadmap is going and update you with the new timings
- You can customise updates for different levels of management
- Alerts can be programmed for when the targets deviate too much
Delivery dates and costs for the short, medium and long term
- As the team makes progress and you encounter learnings and new ideas, the timelines react and update
- These are presented as dynamic timeline views for the current phase, and future phases of your roadmap
- The further out, the less certainty, and that's OK; FIXED is a tool to manage and refine your "best guess"
Agile adjustments of scope to meet deadlines
- Just because you have a deadline or fixed budget doesn't mean you can't be Agile
- If you have a project constraint, FIXED gives you a continuous and accurate view of how well you're meeting it
- Scope Manager tool gives you a visual view of the remaining scope with the size and priority of each component
- Using Scope Manager, your Product Owner can adjust scope in an Agile way to continue within the bounds of the deadline or budget
Allocation of resources
- No need to allocate individuals upfront to get an estimate of the timeline
- Tell us the skills required, and available, and we will level tasks across skills
- Any time the plan is updated we dynamically regenerate the optimised allocations
Estimations
- See all your unestimated items
- Easily update them in bulk
- Estimation assistant makes sure you consider all aspects, including development, testing, fixes and deployment
- Estimate your whole plan of work and track and adjust these to be more accurate as time goes on
Quote for contracts with confidence
- You can use FIXED to confidently respond to an RFP with a proposal of the cost and time
- But you can still be Agile! Inevitably learnings and ideas will influence the scope
- Use the Scope Manager to guide the customer through decisions to include or exclude items or accept a new timeline or budget
- This empowers the customer and removes the pressure on you to "just squeeze this in"
