PD-Trak™ Implementation

There are several factors which make the implementation of PD-Trak™ easy. First, PD-Trak™ is based on standard MS Office tools which most personnel are familiar with. Second, the PD-Trak™ can implemented incrementally - new tools used as the enterprise and/or product team is ready for them. Third, PD-Trak™ typically is customized to your process and deliverables, minimizing the change teams have to assimilate.

Implementation and deployment of the PD-Trak™ NPD project/process management system typically consists of the following steps:

1. Install and setup PD-Trak
2. Define stages/phases and gates
3. Define baseline product development process using Task Plans
4. Review PD-Trak templates and documents with users and create/modify document templates
5. Set up resource list and other tables
6. Establish pilot project
7. Conduct Overview training for project managers and project personnel
8. Conduct Project File training for project managers
9. Conduct Management training for gatekeepers, portfolio managers, and functional (resource) managers
10. Conduct Administrator training for project administrators
11. Audit project file setup and provide follow-up training
12. Facilitate initial gate and portfolio review with PD-Trak 

In a typical situation, PD-Trak™ can be configured, installed and deployed in a medium-sized organization in approximately three weeks time with approximately twelve to fifteen days of our consulting effort. Alternatively, if your organization has the resources and expertise, you can implement PD-Trak™ after four days day of training.
