PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
Get a Status of Your Assessment Progress Across Your Portfolio
Our new projects feature brings additional benefits, not only can you filter by tag which allows you to see your assessment progress in Dev, Test or Prod, you can now also see this on a project by project basis.
It’s especially great where you’ve broken your cloud modernization and migration initiative into smaller projects such as a single department or affinity groups.
