HIGHLIGHTS The main function of Project Trackeris to increase efficiency of projectmanagers, who can use the moduleto easily manage project terms andreceive up-to-date reports on theproject progress. On the basis ofMS Project, Project Tracker builds acenter of gathering the project infor-mation and allows managers to useonly one system for overall estima-tion of the project progress.

'’ProjectTracker for MS Project 2003& 2007' MS Project Professional andMS Project Server and ClearQuestintegration module. This tool is regis-tered as the V.A.P-solution in IBM.State-of-art MS Project (ProjectServer 2003 & 2007) and Clear-Quest integration module which al-lows bidirectional collaborationkeeping the full hierarchy, total re-sources information and all depend-encies as well. During planning inMS Project the module allows to im-port all resources available from theCQ base. It’s irreplaceable tool forexcellent project management.

Full support of Applica-tion Lifecycle Manage-ment (ALM) scheme.

Two-way synchroniza-tion.

Support of planningmode (MS Project planis exported to Clear-Quest), import (re-quests for changing areimported from Clear-Quest to MS Project)and synchronization(two-way synchroniza-tion of project data).

Support of synchroniza-tion for any type ofchange requests (Task,Activity, Defect, Requestand etc.).

Support and synchro-nization of the singlepool of recourses be-tween MS Project andClearQuest.

Easy to install.

Easy to use.

On the basis of MS Project the Proj-ect Tracker makes the center of gath-ering the project information andallows manager to use only one sys-tem for overall estimate of projectpromotion.The module implementation policyshows its efficiency for any project.Statistically it allows saving about 18-30% of business hours due to simpli-fication of routine and repetitiveoperations. The module is more ef-fective for organizations that havelimited number of managers for ad-ministration of large quantity of proj-ects.

Desciption of Project Tracker:

Project Tracker makes possible tointegrate ClearQuest and MS Projectin a much more advanced way thanstandard integration mechanism pro-vided IBM Rational via ClearQuestProjectTracker. During integrationbetween ClearQuest database andMS Project plan the module enablesflexible selection of fields and theircorrelations (synchronized data).The module supports hierarchicallinks between queries, permitting toperform simultaneously severaltasks and subtasks included in theplan, which the module would syn-chronize between MS Project planand the records in ClearQuest.

Project Tracker allows substantiallysimplify the project planning proce-dures of different complexity. Themain destination of Project Tracker– is increasing of efficiency of theproject managers, who can use thisdecision for quick and transparentmanagement of project terms andfor operationally receiving of reportsabout real progress of the project.
