COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - May 25, 2010) -  TeamDynamixHE today released version 6.5 of its Web-based project and portfolio management software.

In addition, TeamDynamixHE v6.5 includes a number of new enhancements that further simplify the user experience, while enhancing demand and resource management, portfolio planning and reporting.

"We developed our software with the understanding that it will be used by people of all levels of project management skill and maturity," said Andrew Graf, a lead analyst with TeamDynamixHE. "Ultimately, what determines whether our tool is used is if it is intuitive for all levels of users and effective in helping them get things done. Our latest update pushes our development vision even further, keeping things simple and ensuring that the right people have the right tools and the right information to make educated, strategic decisions and perform at a high level. Many of our customers are using Agile methodologies, and now TeamDynamixHE supports this dynamic approach to project management, which will help them do their jobs even better."

In addition to supporting Agile project management , TeamDynamixHE v6.5 includes a number of new features and benefits that will provide customers with a better user experience, while allowing them to work faster and more efficiently, including:

  • New resource pools, which apply to departments or groups within an organization, can be created to support specific task or project assignments or shared across multiple projects
  • Business Case-style Project Request/Portfolio Planning System - The process from project request through approval and project creation is now consolidated and fully customizable through the entire workflow. TeamDynamixHE v6.5 adds increased administrative and customization controls over project request sections, as well as enhanced search, filtering and reporting capabilities.
  • Customers can now define a custom authentication scheme to enterprise software applications. Version 6.5 continues to support two authentication schemes, LDAP (Active Directory) and TeamDynamix Authentication. SSO providers can also be supported.
  • Enhanced analysis capabilities provide customers with new tools to analyze project portfolios from a number of new angles.

"TeamDynamixHE is a flexible, adaptable and evolving solution that is used by more colleges and universities than any other PPM solution on the market," added Graf. "With the help of our advisory council made up of higher education experts and project management professionals, we have established close-knit relationships with our customers and captured higher education-specific perspectives that are clearly reflected in our product development. With version 6.5, we continue to make project management more intuitive, making it easier for the novice and the professional to work successfully in the same environment."
