SAP Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM) enables you to plan, manage, and control the entire project development process, from initial idea to completion.

The application allows project managers to control project structures, schedules, costs, and resources. This includes network planning techniques and aggregative tools that support cross-project cost, revenue, margin, schedule, and resource management.

A project builder lets you set up a project and monitor its progress. A project planning board simplifies project planning and control, combining tabular and graphical data to provide a global overview. An information system gives you a detailed picture of current status, which you can represent using a variety of reporting tools.

SAP PLM integrates with SAP Supply Chain Management and other solutions, so you can conduct complete product-value analyses, cost-revenue analyses, and cost-of-sales projections.
