Reassess your investments at every step, ensuring transparency and continued validation of each development whilst keeping focussed on key business NPI growth. Get management team visibility into each investment through Vizula’s real-time informative dashboards, having confidence that each development team are tracking timescales, requirements, issues and risks whilst also diarizing development slippages & actions for a lessons learned approach to long-term improvement in NPI delivery.

Every product in Vizula contains a log of all changes which occurs during its life cycle. Changes to selling price, margin, timescales, sign offs and many other parameters are stored and available for immediate recall at any time. This log can be used during lessons learned in order to help improve your NPI process.

Especially useful is the facility to diarize changes in product timescales which can occur during product development, thereby establishing a clear correlation between these events and the subsequent effect on forecast revenue.

The Vizula ‘Interactive Product Requirements Document (iPRD)’ is an essential tool that ensures that every product stakeholder understands the requirements of each new product. At Vizula, we understand the importance of clear communication and collaboration between the project team and the product team, and the iPRD is a key component in achieving this.

Our iPRD is at the heart of each new product, providing a mechanism for the project team to rate each requirement, indicate whether they understand the requirement and whether it can be achieved or not. This process encourages healthy discussions between the project team and the product team, closing all avenues of misunderstanding and ensuring a more efficient development process for your business.

The iPRD is an interactive document that allows stakeholders to provide feedback and comments, ensuring that all requirements are fully understood and accurately represented. This collaborative approach helps to reduce the risk of errors and misunderstandings and enables all stakeholders to work together towards a common goal.

With Vizula iPRD, you can be confident that everyone involved in the development process has a clear understanding of the product requirements. This leads to more effective product development, reduced time-to-market, and a better product overall

Managing risks is an integral part of any successful product development process. At Vizula, we understand that identifying and mitigating risks early on can make all the difference in the success of your products.

That's why we offer the Product Risks List (PRL) tool. The PRL enables you to identify all potential risks to your new products and document them in detail. Each risk is given a likelihood of happening and an impact if it does occur. These values help you prioritize the risks and determine which ones require the most attention.

Once the risks have been identified and prioritized, they can be assigned to a team member for monitoring and evaluation. This person is responsible for keeping an eye on the risk and ensuring that it is being addressed in a timely and effective manner. They are also responsible for developing a mitigation contingency plan to minimize the impact of the risk if it does occur.

By using the PRL, you can be confident that you have identified all potential risks to your products and have a plan in place to mitigate them. This leads to better product quality, improved customer satisfaction, and a stronger bottom line.

Vizula MultiSite allows you to give access to an unlimited number of users on your account. Each user is managed in the Vizula Users page where they are assigned access 'rights' as 'Controller', 'Editor' or 'Viewer', or blocked from access completely to each area within your account.

The Key Dependency List (KDL) tool provides a central place to capture and manage key dependencies for each product, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the dependencies and their potential impact on the product as it moves into the sales phase. By identifying and tracking dependencies, you can proactively manage risks to supply and avoid potential delays or disruptions.

The KDL tool allows you to categorize dependencies based on their type, such as supply chain, key components, key services, or key personnel. You can assign an owner to each dependency and track its status, priority, and resolution. The tool also enables you to create contingency plans for each dependency, including identifying and evaluating second source suppliers, developing mitigation strategies, and setting up communication protocols with stakeholders.

With the KDL tool, you can stay on top of all the dependencies that affect your products, make informed decisions, and minimize the impact of any unexpected events.

Vizula provides a library in support of both the Building Blocks Tool (BBT) and the Key Dependency List (KDL).

Vizula MultiSite allows you to add an unlimited number of businesses and locations to your account, thereby building an accurate representation of your corporation. Each business can support a different currency and each location supports regional variations when using the HR Manager. In this way, a corporation can get a unified view of their business NPI across each or all business units.
