Has the VP of Marketing ever asked you about whether he/she can commit to placing a 3rd page ad in Business 2.0 magazine 6 months from now about your new product launch? How confident have you been in your response? Could you provide a definitive “yes”?
How long does it take you today to understand the implications to your development timelines when you receive a change in your PRD? What kind of visibility do you have to meeting your launch date when you hit a glitch in your QA cycle?
Questions like these plague development professionals every day. And in a world with increasing pressures and demands from the Board, investors, CEO’s, and other stakeholders, it is imperative to be able to deliver on the commitments you make as a development organization. It’s not just about writing quality code. It’s about visibility, productivity, predictability and accountability.
We saw a need for creating a disruptive technology that would forever change the way people build and deliver software products something much more than the Core Unified Process. We envisioned and spun off a separate company, ClearVU™, to build a distributed collaborative Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform that provides greater visibility, productivity, predictability and accountability. As a tool-agnostic dashboard, ClearVU™ allows you to use best of breed applications for various pieces of the development cycle (bug tracking, project management, task management, etc.) bringing you the visibility, productivity, predictability and accountability you need to manage your distributed development environment.
Developing products is hard, with a 90% failure rate, and developing products in a distributed environment is even harder. As a distributed team to many of our clients, we saw a need and opportunity to build a tool that creates greater transparency to the development lifecycle. When you work with CoreObjects you automatically receive a free license for one dashboard instance.
Another interesting point to consider from an infrastructure perspective is that if things like CMM and ISO certification is a consideration within your organization, you’re looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment to get certified. ClearVU™ goes a long way in providing features to assist you in this process…..and it’s all just a part of working with CoreObjects....no hidden fees! Who else can provide such a strategic advantage at no charge?
