APT Methodology








 

Introduction

The APT Methodology is a powerful browser based project management tool providing a cost effective approach to controlling project management and systems development. It is concise, flexible and easy to use.

The APT Methodology is a full life cycle Methodology incorporating all the phases in the development and system acquisition life cycle along with additional phases addressing the management of IT facilities. Each phase of the Methodology contains detailed activity and task lists and is supported by template documents to help you plan and manage your projects. Put simply, APT saves you re-inventing the wheel and introduces the culture of 'like projects being done in a like manner'.

Benefits of a Proven Methodology

APT reduces the risk of projects by introducing a stable and structured environment. Startup times are reduced dramatically by decreasing the learning curve for project initiation and planning and providing instant access to project structure and templates over the Internet or Corporate intranet without the need of loading any software.

Web Enabled

Fully browser based, APT adds a new level of flexibility to the strength and value of a Methodology. Flexibility such as being able to modify tasks and templates to be specific to your organisation or exporting project activities directly into Microsoft Project for detailed scheduling and resourcing. This functionality provides you with a methodology that can easily become part of your evolving information systems culture.

APT and Quality

The APT Methodology is fully aligned with, and able to support, Quality Management Systems compliant to ISO 9001 and IEEE 1298.

Project Management

The APT Methodology has a strong project management focus with a complete phase dedicated to the initiation, planning, control and reviewing of projects. While aimed at Information Systems, the Project Management Phase can equally be used in all types of projects.
