The certified integration between ScrumWorks® Pro and the CollabNet TeamForge® platform creates a bi-directional synchronization of artifacts to facilitate Scrum development. CollabNet offers a complete ALM solution with complementary integrations to third-party tools as well as to standard desktops.
Why CollabNet TeamForge?
The CollabNet TeamForge platform is a leading solution for Agile ALM development. It is optimized to work with Subversion, and offers flexible support with its ability to integrate with popular third-party tools. The TeamForge platform brings teams traceability, visibility, and collaboration, which leads to improved productivity and reduction of overhead costs.
Why ScrumWorks Pro?
With the majority of organizations considering Agile development today, Scrum is a popular choice. Scrum is an effective project management framework, and it relies on organization and distribution of work, again with a need for visibility and traceability. ScrumWorks Pro provides best-in-class Scrum project management capabilities, brought to you by industry thought leaders.
What benefits does the integration provide?
The CollabNet TeamForge to ScrumWorks Pro Integration:
brings superior Scrum project management into the Agile lifecycle—manage products, releases, and sprints in ScrumWorks Pro and provide real-time project management data to the entire team throughout each sprint;
allows developers to update their effort right from within their integrated development environment to ensure accurate reporting on sprint progress.
supports complete traceability between user stories and tasks managed in ScrumWorks Pro and other development artifacts including team discussions, documentation, code commits, continuous integration builds, and tests. Traceability between related assets allows teams to work more quickly and produce higher quality software;
allows all software development assets, including Scrum project data, to be stored within a centralized repository with global search capabilities to provide complete project visibility and promote collaboration.
How does it work? Sample scenario.
Following is an illustrative example of the power of the CollabNet TeamForge (CTF) to ScrumWorks Pro (SWP) Integration:
The story is moved to Release/Milestone in both applications.
In SWP, the story is added to a team’s sprint. CTF also shows this change.
A task is created in CTF and appears in SWP.
Code is committed to CTF.
Traceability from the story to the associated code is captured in CTF.
In SWP the task is marked as done, and the story is marked as done. These statuses are reflected in CTF.
The integration’s bi-directional synchronization feature means that every team member has access to current information, and management and other stakeholders can easily check on a project’s progress.
