A

Active Directory

Active Directory was developed by Microsoft as a method of centrally managing user access to Window’s based networks and servers. It allows administrators manage identity and control over vast amounts of users within a network. This not only gives users a single login to their windows machine but also access to shared resources within the confines of the domain. For end-users, you simply log in once to your machine and access whatever you need.

B

Business Process Flow

Business Process Flows define a set of steps for people to follow to take them to a desired outcome. These steps provide a visual indicator that tells people where they are in the business process.

C

Content Template

Content Templats include content from a chosen project site, such as stages, deliverables, tasks, issues, and risks.

M

Managed Solution

Solutions implement an application lifecycle management process. Managed solutions are fully developed and are intended to be distributed, installed, and used for production purposes.

Merge Changes

A component that supports merge changes can be edited directly and still maintain compatibility with BrightWork 365 updates.

S

Stage

Most projects benefit greatly from having a control process in place to move them along from one stage to the next while they are in execution. Without any form of control, there is a good amount of risk that rework will need to be done for project stages that were previously considered complete. The control process, of which Stage are a major element, can be as simple as a single project manager deciding on their own when a stage's body of work has been completed in a satisfactory manner, or as complex as requiring a group of stakeholders deciding individually whether any additional work is necessary before a project can move forward to the next stage. BrightWork 365 affords the flexibility and functionality for project teams to use various levels of stage approval requirements along a spectrum of formality.

U

Unmanaged Solution

Solutions implement an application lifecycle management process. Unmanaged solutions are primarily used in development environments when changes are still being made to an application.
