Reduce inefficient work associated with manual assignment, tracking, and reporting of tasks.
Create live task reports with real-time summaries and statistics.
Automatically roll-up task status and provide quick summary to management, making it easier to see potential trouble areas and keep projects on track.
Keep track of requirements management by creating associations across projects and tools.
Automatically capture all changes to task status, providing full traceable history throughout the development lifecycle.
Educate stakeholders, reassure project backers and maintain close contact with project members.
Notifications and approvals
Optionally require task administrators to approve any changes to specified task fields (e.g. require approval to change task status, priority, or end date).
Receive instant email notifications through monitoring and task exception notification. Optional automated alert emails remind designated team members when tasks are overdue, helping to keep projects on track.
Display real-time task status and history to keep tasks, deliverables, and schedules on track.
Use the My Workspace page to keep track of important created and assigned tasks. My Workspace pages and task folders can be used to provide personalized task "to-do" lists for individuals, and consolidated views for managers.
Managers can use the Project dashboard to get an at-a-glance overview of the status of their projects. The dashboard provides summary information on the number and status of the tasks in each project, displays project start and end dates, and calculates project over-run and under-run statistics.
Microsoft Project® synchronization
Use the advanced project planning features of Microsoft Project, and then synchronize task data from the project plan with an CollabNet TeamForge task folder. Bi-directional synchronization keeps both CollabNet TeamForge tasks and Microsoft Project plans current and relevant.
Custom reports and context-sensitive filter criteria
Configure reports in minutes to easily shift focus as questions evolve.
Create ad-hoc queries to view point-in-time snapshots or historical trends over a user-defined date range.
Allow users to cut directly to the information they need. For example, to continuously monitor high-risk tasks, filter on the number of high-priority artifacts that were submitted in the last seven days and are still in the "open" state.
Role-based access controls
Send any report to anyone, and let CollabNet TeamForge take care of data security. The powerful permissions system prevents people from seeing information they shouldn't. When a user opens a report, CollabNet TeamForge reads that user's permissions and shows only the information they are allowed to see. If any information in the report output links to a project or artifact that the reader isn't allowed to see, that information is dropped. The reader doesn't even know it exists.
Real-time and trend reporting
CollabNet TeamForge reports don't get old, and they don't fall behind. Reports are automatically updated when data changes in the system.
Gather trend data on multiple projects for the comparative perspective to make decisions before a crisis strikes. Time to move people around? Readjust task loads? Order more hardware? Find out with a site-wide report.
Task and tracker reporting
Automatically count and graph hours spent on tasks or tracker items.
Talk to team members to get their subjective input on progress and priorities and compare with the objective hard data in CollabNet TeamForge reports.
Export and integrate tasks and reports
Export tasks and reports to XML, CSV, or tab-delimited text files for additional formatting, processing, or analysis using external tools.
Integrate external tools with open SOAP Web services API.
