Sprint Board drives the SCRUM sprint
Bulk perform workflow transition
Do you SCRUM? So do we!
Polarion´s R&D team loves the tool they use to manage Polarion development. One would hope so, because they make it! After several years of refinement and proven success "in the trenches", our own SCRUM-based "ALM Project" Template... the same one our R&D team uses for Polarion development... is bundled with Polarion ALM 2011. The configuration has been fine-tuned in our own labs by Polarion SCRUM masters, and includes predefined Status Dashboard, Sprint Board with burn-down chart, Task Board, workflows for the user story review process, and much more. It´s "out-of-box" ready for your SCRUM projects, or you can tweak it to make our SCRUM-based process fit yours.
Collaboration
Improve communication between Development, Operations and Quality Assurance.
DevOps oriented processes and methods help you increase collaboration, reduce production risks, and release your products or services in a more timely manner.
