Manage Defects
Deltek PIM provides a defect management workflow to help you manage any aspects of work that fail to meet the required design, workmanship, or material quality, in accordance with the contract. This process usually takes place towards the end of a project, when an area is considered complete by a contractor.
Note: Defect management is a generic term that refers to either snagging or punch lists, depending on your territory.
