The ZDS Toolkit for Kintana (HP PPM : Project and Portfolio Management) As the recession deepens software development organizations are under pressure to reduce costs across the board. Development teams must deliver greater numbers of product releases more frequently using the same size team. As the workload increases, the potential for errors also increase as staff struggle to keep up with demand. ZDS provide custom data mining tools that establish your current PPM Demand and Deployment service levels and identify the specific areas that need to be addressed to reach and maintain your service level agreements.

Demand Metrics
	Service levels for Kintana 'Demand' workflows resolve to how fast decisions get made. The Demand metrics tool quantifies precisely which of your Demand workflow steps are bottlenecks, and which users are holding up decisions for the team. You can use this information to design out workflow bottlenecks and establish practices for regular monitoring and deletion of aging requests.

Deploy Metrics

Service levels for Kintana deployment workflows resolve to just one thing: what percentage of migrations fail? The Deploy metrics tool is unique in it's ability to quantify the failure categories that add up to the overall failure rate, and drill down from there to individual failures. The tool gives you the information you need to base an action plan for improving your deployment service levels, and monitor them going forwards.
