Your evaluation now runs in six clear phases
We’ve grouped the full software-selection journey into six named phases — Define, Engage, Evaluate, Compare, Select and Close — so everyone can see where a project actually is at a glance.
A serious software evaluation has a lot of moving parts: scoping the need, building a longlist, running demos, sending an RFI, testing real use cases, scoring, and finally deciding. Shown as a flat list of a dozen steps, it’s hard to tell at a glance whether you’re early, mid-flight or nearly done.
Six phases, not twelve steps
The project rail now rolls those steps up into six phases — Define, Engage, Evaluate, Compare, Select and Close. Completed phases collapse to a tidy summary, the phase you’re in expands to show its steps, and the rest stay tucked away until you need them.
Nothing about how you work changes — every step is still there, and status is still derived from what’s actually happened in the project. You just get a far clearer read on progress.
