01. Project Planning & Backlog Management
ORBiTL's project planning and backlog management tool efficiently handles project tasks and priorities. It provides a centralised platform for listing, categorising, and prioritising tasks, with easy options for updating and reprioritising as project needs evolve. This ensures project plans align with current priorities and resources, improving overall project management efficiency. The tool effectively addresses the challenges of managing complex backlogs, enhancing visibility, estimation accuracy, and prioritisation, leading to smoother execution and improved project outcomes.
02. Requirements Maturity & Technical Evaluation
ORBiTL's RATE (Requirements Assessment and Technical Evaluation) Index is a structured methodology for assessing the maturity of functional and technical requirements. RATE evaluates each requirement's clarity, completeness, and technical feasibility. This tool is easy to follow and essential for risk identification and management, helping set realistic project expectations.
When applied to the backlog, it enables more accurate forecasting, release sizing, and planning. ORBiTL's RATE Index results in more efficient development cycles, reduced rework risks, and improved stakeholder communication.
03. Release Sizing & Prioritisation
ORBiTL's release sizing and prioritisation tool offers a sophisticated solution for accurately estimating release sizes and effectively prioritising tasks. It considers various factors such as business value, technical complexity, and resource availability.
Integrated with adjustments from the RATE index, the tool enables project managers to assess and categorise tasks by importance and complexity. This aids in setting realistic goals for each release and ensuring that critical tasks are prioritised.
​
04. Task Planning & Resource Allocation
ORBiTL's comprehensive task planning and resource allocation tool streamlines the process of organising sprints across multiple teams, including task allocation, capacity management, and progress tracking.
The tool enhances task planning by providing detailed visibility of tasks, priorities, and dependencies and automated task suggestions based on various criteria. It also offers insights into team members' availability and workload, ensuring a realistic and achievable sprint plan that aligns with team capacity.
​
05. Data-Driven Insights
ORBiTL's data-driven insights and decision-making tool utilises advanced machine learning algorithms and micro-level user data analysis to navigate the complexities of large-scale software development.
Its machine learning capability identifies patterns and anomalies, enabling early prediction of potential issues and bottlenecks. This foresight is vital for proactive project management, helping teams address challenges and pre-emptively avoid delays or cost overruns. By offering a granular view of the project, ORBiTL ensures decision-makers comprehensively understand various factors affecting the project, leading to more informed and strategic decision-making. This feature enhances the ability to make timely and consistent decisions, leveraging predictive analytics for strategic project management and improved outcomes.
06. Gamification for Enhanced Collaboration
ORBiTL's project management tool incorporates an enhanced collaboration feature, infusing game-like elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and rewards into the software development process. A notable example is its cricket-themed interface, which transforms project tasks and milestones into cricket matches, making the work process more engaging and competitive.
​
Completing tasks is akin to scoring runs or taking wickets, with team members earning points and accolades on a leaderboard. This approach not only makes work more enjoyable but also fosters team spirit. Understanding diverse preferences, ORBiTL allows customisation of the gamification 'skin', offering various themes to cater to different interests and cultural backgrounds. This flexibility ensures the gamification strategy remains inclusive, enhancing engagement and motivation across diverse teams.
