Program Planning in PLM & Project Execution

Simple standalone products have given way to complex, multifaceted, smart products. From smartphones to medical implants, to autonomous vehicles, drone aircraft, and more, consumers are demanding increasingly complex products. These complex products require the collaboration of stakeholders from many product domains and across the product lifecycle. Lack of coordination and visibility across teams results in scheduling conflicts, resource bottlenecks, and missed delivery dates.

With program management solutions in Teamcenter®, you can develop complex products through integrated planning and execution in a single system. This integrated approach allows dependent teams across disciplines to effectively collaborate and communicate key information, ultimately shortening time to market. It also provides better visibility across projects, enabling leaders to anticipate and avoid problems rather than reacting after the fact. With program management solutions integrated with execution, you ensure you are always working toward the plan.

Support a top-down approach to program planning, determining what should be executed, with a bottom-up approach that validates what can be executed given your resources, timelines and more. With program planning inside PLM, you can plan against accurate requirements and goals. You can be assured the program status is always in sync with what’s being executed. You can see what’s happening in real time dashboard views. Ensure visibility across projects, across domains, across the lifecycle.
