Suite components include the following:

-- KnowledgeWise, which serves as a system for collecting ideas and the knowledge engine supporting the suite. The software provides a common set of knowledge access points and provides role-based visibility.

-- DevPlan, a new module that manages transformations of concepts into strategy plans. A planning hierarchy is featured to set a project's scope and optimize resource usage. Team-based planning and calendaring also are included.

-- DevTrack, which builds on the vision and deliverables of DevPlan to manage an implementation process. Workflow, notification, escalation, routing, version control, and testing are coordinated.

-- DevTest, which helps quality assurance teams manage testing. It manages functional regression testing, performance testing, and usability testing. Test case templates are used to link to a specific DevPlan feature to provide visibility into feature-related knowledge.
