Improve Productivity

An important facet of your development team’s success is measuring and improving productivity. Without the use of measured information, you make important capacity planning, staff allocation and outsourcing decisions blindly.

  • Do you need more people? Are you understaffed or just underproductive?
  • Next year’s projects are mission-critical. When can you deliver?
  • What productivity level should you hold development outsource vendors to?
  • Does your team have a track record of delivering projects on time?

Recognize Risk

Daily or weekly status reports can give you a snapshot of your project health. Unfortunately, by the time you get the report, it is already outdated. To efficiently manage the state of your development projects, you need up-to-the-minute transparency into all activities associated with the project.

6th Sense Analytics compares your project estimate against actual time spent so you can easily spot problems before they derail the project. It is also easy to review and reallocate resources as needed to keep your projects on time and on budget.

Estimate Accurately

One of the major reasons software projects fail is the inability of the team to estimate accurately. Knowing how and where your team spends their time allows estimates to be founded on fact rather than intuition.

  • Increase your team’s morale as well as the confidence of your customers by accomplishing projects on time.
  • Benchmark your projects against your own internal data or that of the 6th Sense Analytics community at large.
  • Be confident in your ability to deliver software on time and eliminate the need for last minute heroics.
