PromptPM's design approach
It’s decided, PromptPM Beta will be launched on August 20th 2006. As a senior member of the design team I am excited to highlight its features for you but before I start digging into features I should highlight the PromptPM's design team's composition and their contribution as this team guided the present of PromptPM and is working hard to shape its future.
Our challenge was to design a product that would benefit an organization by implementing the ideal project management methodologies while keeping the day to day execution of activities simple. In order to achieve this objective, we started with two design teams, “Team Wizards” and “Team White Hats”. The first design team, "Team Wizards", was responsible for designing the best practices that should be used in a Project Management environment. This team would prepare their recommendations based on the project management body of knowledge, project management blogs, literatures and other information sources. This team would also survey people from various industries, so that Prompt PM could play well in different industry scenarios.
The second team, "Team White Hats", had project managers who had handled multiple projects worth millions of dollars with global teams in a multilingual and multicurrency environment. "Team White Hats" was responsible for bringing best practices based on their practical experience. This team studied the recommendations from the "Team Wizards" and both the teams would collectively decide on the path forward. As you can probably guess how much fun these meetings were :)
This was a brief background about the design teams. Of course the project would not have completed without the tireless efforts of the development and the Quality assurance team. On the technical side, PromptPM provides a lot of features in a single application, Project Planning, Resource Planning, Team Calendars, Task Management, Web Timesheet, Risk Management, Client Relationship Management, Custom Security Designer, QA Strategy Builder, Issue Tracking, Meeting manager, Idea Organizer, and the list goes on. We have presented the details of each feature on our website. While you guys review the material on our website, www.PromptPM.com, I’ll run some more tests on the application so that I can detect problems before any one else does.
