6D Project Catalyst Suite

6D Catalyst Professional

Catalyst Professional is built inside Project Professional and includes facilities for authoring and customizing best practices, generating project plans from the Process Asset Library, creating and maintaining shared standard work product examples and templates (stored in Windows SharePoint Services), defining and maintaining Roles and Responsibilities, and managing project deliverables.

Build your Best Practices Library

Catalyst Professionals powerful Process Asset Library (PAL) capability allows you the flexibility of building your Best Practice assets in a manner that best suits your organization and budget. You can either purchase off-the-shelf Best Practices from 6D Tech or another vendor or build the knowledge base that reflects the best practices of your organization. Catalyst Professional enables you to create project based methodologies either by defining them from scratch or by simply selecting all or parts of the Best Practices lifecycles - processes from the PAL.  Managers or staff with the appropriate permission can edit, move blocks of information, or add lessons learned easily.  

Extend Enterprise Templates - Eliminate disconnected islands of information

Now there is no need to store your methodology information in external documents or on disconnected web pages or even the "project guide" on Project. 6D Project Catalyst ensures that all narrative information about a task including inputs and deliverables documents, roles and responsibilities, and references such as policies and techniques is available for the tasks in your project right inside Microsoft Project. Easily attach documents to Project or Enterprise Template tasks from WSS using Catalyst Professional.

6D Catalyst Web Access

Catalyst Web Access is built inside Project Web Access and allows all project stakeholders to view the methodology, roles & responsibilities including examples and templates for their assignments over the web. It includes: best practices views across multiple projects and assignments, task specific roles & responsibilities, reference materials and deliverables across tasks and projects.

Using Catalyst Web Access, stakeholders have access to all the methodology content as well as any reference information needed to accomplish the task objectives such as  techniques manual, policies, etc. Navigation enables them to view multiple documents without leaving the Web Access portal. They can see their specific role on a task and view roles that others are playing. They can review examples and templates before completing project deliverables.

Project Catalyst Server

Project Catalyst Server is built as an extension of Microsoft Project Server. It enables access to all the knowledge content for methodologies, and documents associated with enterprise templates including policies and procedures.
