VersionOne Innovates V1: Agile Enterprise, Latest Release Offers Industry's First Interactive Testboard and Unparalleled Project Visibility
New, customizable dashboard and best-of-breed tool integrations make V1: Agile Enterprise the most comprehensive, easy-to-use Agile project management tool
ATLANTA, May 19 /-- VersionOne, recognized by Agile practitioners as the leader in Agile project management tools, today launched V1: Agile Enterprise release 8.1, bringing to market two additional industry firsts and the deepest level of visibility into the Agile software development process.
With the latest release of the company's Agile project planning and management application, users have access to an industry-unique Interactive Testboard. Using simple drag-and-drop functionality, test status can easily be updated and displayed visually. Similar to VersionOne's popular Taskboard, the Testboard offers a quick, overall view of the status of acceptance tests. The Interactive Testboard also links directly to key testing reports including test run and test trends.
A new level of visibility is now offered via V1: Agile Enterprise's My Home -- Dashboard. This feature is a single, customizable page that provides a comprehensive view of key metrics and charts for multiple projects, releases, iterations or teams. Now executives or anyone managing more than one project or team can easily set up and view vital information on one screen.
"Visibility is crucial for any software development team seeking to truly deliver on core Agile values. With this release we have taken our tracking and reporting capabilities to the next level," said Robert Holler, CEO of VersionOne. "Now V1: Agile Enterprise users have more than 60 dashboards, reports and metrics to draw on to manage their work. These advancements are making it much easier for large, multi-team, multi-project organizations to benefit from using Agile methodologies."
Other key 8.1 features include:
-- CruiseControl.NET build integration adds best-of-breed access and visibility into the stories and defects included in each build. Users will also find this beneficial in selecting a build to release and for creating comprehensive release notes.
-- Multi-select options permit the ranking of multiple items at the same time. This allows easy movement of items directly to the top or bottom of the project or of a filtered list.
-- Open source Effort reporting tools allow for individual Effort records to be exported from V1: Agile Enterprise into a database table. This enables aggregated reporting of Effort across many different attributes including task, test, story, defect, theme, epic, project, iteration and team.
This release comes on the heels of VersionOne's launch of V1: Agile Team, a lightweight application that gives smaller teams and teams new to Agile software development everything they need to quickly and easily get started with planning and tracking Agile projects. For a limited time V1: Agile Team is available for free for an unlimited number of users by visiting http://www.versionone.com/getteamfree .
