Sanplex

Start your next product cycle by setting up a Sanplex workspace that mirrors how your organization actually builds. Create separate streams for hardware and software, import existing backlogs or spreadsheets, and define phases for concept, design, prototyping, validation, and launch. Link your code hosts and design repositories so commits, pull requests, schematics, and BOM updates land on the right work items. Add milestones, dependency rules, risks, and approval gates. Program and portfolio leads can group projects into a single view, apply objectives and budgets, and see capacity and roadmaps without hopping between tools.

Day to day, teammates open “My Work” to focus. Developers connect branches to tasks and see build and test status inline; firmware and app changes auto-update progress as checks pass. Electrical and mechanical engineers attach drawings and simulation results, kick off review checklists, and capture sign‑offs. QA plans suites, runs test cycles, logs defects with screenshots and hardware serials, and routes issues to owners with SLAs. Writers draft specs, release notes, and integration guides alongside the work they describe; edits are tracked, and approvals are one click. Marketing and support can prepare launch content in the same space, so messaging and documentation ship when the product does.

Planning is concrete and fast. In sprint planning, pull in team velocity and individual availability to build a realistic scope. Use what‑if scenarios to model headcount changes, vendor lead times, and part shortages; Sanplex recalculates dates and highlights critical path shifts before you commit. Drag and drop dependencies between firmware, app, PCB, and enclosure tasks so nothing moves out of order. Share executive digests that summarize risks, spend, and schedule variance; stakeholders subscribe to weekly updates and skip status meetings. Daily standup notes are auto‑generated from yesterday’s activity so distributed teams can stay async without losing context.

When it’s time to ship, releases flow through defined gates. Pre‑flight checks verify requirement coverage, test pass rates, documentation status, and compliance evidence (DVT/PVT) before a build is labeled production. Every change is traceable from requirement to code commit, schematic revision, test result, and final release, with exports suitable for audits. Post‑launch, connect field feedback and support tickets back to the backlog to prioritize fixes. Run a retrospective with built‑in metrics on throughput, predictability, and defect escape rate, then save the process as a template so the next product starts with a proven playbook.
