Tools
The practice project management philosophy of Infosys is bolstered by the use of robust tools. We keep the largest and most complex projects on track with the following tools:
Integrated Project Management
Integrated Project Management (IPM) is Infosys’ web-based tool for engagement management. It facilitates efficient and effective project management and addresses the functionality of a typical professional services automation framework. IPM supports the Infosys Global Delivery Model and SEI CMM Level 5 processes.
Process Database
The process database captures all project performance related metrics at Infosys. This data is used as a framework to construct the organization's process-capability baseline, which is used by project leaders to estimate effort, schedule tasks and predict defect levels during the engagement-planning phase.
InFlux™
InFlux™ is the Infosys methodology used to define effective IT solutions for enterprise initiatives. It maps the business-process view for all IT initiatives, making it possible to understand the impact of IT on specific processes. Its framework is based on the digital concept of an extended organization that includes suppliers, customers and partners. InFlux™ allows you to study the roles of different systems and entities and how they function.
PRISM
Project Reviews by Infosys Senior Management (PRISM) is a web-based Intranet tool to automate the workflow for reviews, in line with engagement schedules and plans. The PRISM tool is a review mechanism that offers a clear picture of the engagement risks involved for a client as well as Infosys. It also drives process improvement and sharing of best practices.
