Project Management

In PM solutions we support many project methodologies such as Agile and Simple Projects. Methodology solutions help in implementing best practices in project management. CS Odessa provides Toolbox solutions to support solving issues related to planning, tracking, milestones, events, resource usage, and other typical project management functions. Toolbox Solutions help you deal with common project situations in an extraordinary way.

PM Agile

Benefits

All Agile meetings and documents are powered by mission adapted mind map templates, specially tuned for collaborative work. Tracking project Velocity is easy when using ConceptDraw Velocity diagram templates.

Objective

Support Agile methods such as user stories, iteration planning, burndown charts, backlogs, and velocity.

Solution Purpose

These visual tools assist in the holding of Scrum-meetings, collaborative planning for Sprint, maintaining backlog, and calculating and reporting the Velocity of the team.

Intended For

Companies using Agile methodology; specifically, Scrum; Product Owners, Scrum Masters.

Products and methods

In the background of this solution we use mind mapping for visualization of key events and artifacts of Agile methodology. Key diagrams for visualization are made by ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

Use Sprint Backlog to visualize the Sprint Backlog.

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method. SSADM with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM →

A waterfall model describes software development process as a sequence of phases that flow downwards. SSADM is one of the implementations of waterfall method. It’s easier to learn about structured systems analysis and design method (SSADM) with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM because this software has appropriate tools for creating data flow diagrams. You can use all the three main techniques of SSADM method with special tools and predesigned templates. This data flow diagram illustrates the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method. This method method considers analysis, projecting and documenting of information systems. Data flow models are the most important elements of SSADM and data flow diagrams are usually used for their description. It includes the analysis and description of a system as well as visualization of possible issues.
