CollabNet Live!

Dynamic Planning with CollabNet TeamForge 5.3

November 10, 9am-10am PST
Panelist: Nathan Hess, Senior Solution Consultant, CollabNet

This hands-on, live demonstration will showcase the benefits of Dynamic Planning - an innovative set of features introduced in CollabNet TeamForge 5.3, an application lifecycle management (ALM) solution for distributed teams. Dynamic Planning provides a level of flexibility that is absent in most ALM solutions, including:

• N-level Scope Hierarchy: Organize features and work items (epics, stories, tasks, defects, etc.) into parent/child relationships, all in an intuitive tree view
• Planning Folders: Model products, releases, iterations, or any arbitrary “backlogs” and populate them with scope and work items from any level of the feature hierarchy
• Agile Burn Down Charts: Get state-of-the-art burn down charts to assess progress and projected completion time for any planning folder at any level
