HOW MISSION CONTROL CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR PROJECT

The objective of our software is to provide strategic and tactical support to
the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC).   It give project teams an
integrated workflow environment in which all project tasks may be
budgeted, planned, assigned, executed and supervised with maximum
visibility.  Mission Control addresses the needs of each member of the
development team from CIO to Project Manager to Business Analyst to
Developer to DBA to QA, and becomes a part of their everyday best practices.

CIO/Executive Director

Mission Control serves as a central command post supplying strategic
command intelligence for multiple projects including budget variance,
projected completion costs and productivity output.

Project Manager

Mission Control furnishes the Project Manager with a single tool to manage
the details of new development, change requests, issues, and defects.  
Effort and cost for each of these may be budgeted, estimated, assigned,
and tracked easily.  Progress can be monitored on a real time basis since
each resource reports their progress against their individual tasks within
the system.  This gives the project manager the day to day tactical support
necessary to keep the mission on track.  Each resource receives their tasks
directly from the system as they are assigned by the project manager or
department lead.

Business Analyst

Mission Control provides the Business Analyst the opportunity to add critical
intelligence information and guidance to each item that flows through the
system. Specifications, screen shots and other clarifying observations can
be entered or attached to each item.

Developer

Mission Control equips the Developer with a prioritized task list and a
method for indicating their effort and progress towards finishing the task. As
the developer works a task, they attach the affected objects to that task.  
Upon completion of their work, they request promotion of those objects to a
build.  Objects that are attached to multiple tasks (that may be spread
across developers) are grouped and may only be promoted together.  

QA

Mission Control enables the QA team with tools to manage and execute test
scripts as well as log defects.  Scripts are created in a step by step format
with expected results.  Scripts may be grouped into chains and then
executed in sequence to replicate a process lifecycle.  Each execution of a
script, along with the expected and actual results is logged.  If defects are
found, the QA team can quickly add that defect to Mission Control along with
screen shots and other details.  The defect and the test script execution are
linked so that the analyst or developer may recreate the scenario that gave
rise to the defect.
