Whether agile, classic or hybrid – you have the flexibility to choose the implementation model that suits you best.
You always have an overview of the most important key figures on the costs and capacities used, which are crucial for the implementation of your strategy.

Why a unified view of traditional project and agile product management?
“Both agile and traditional project practices require resources and assets, and therefore CIOs will need to continue to have a comprehensive understanding of how their resources and assets are used and how they enable or support the business strategy. This can only be achieved if the CIO has a holistic view of both agile and project roadmaps, deliverables and plans. Without a holistic view, CIOs are hampered in their decision making and are more likely to see over- or under-utilized resources and assets.”
