COLLABNET’S NEW TEAMFORGE 7 AND TEAMFORGE ORCHESTRATE SPEED CYCLE TIMES AND IMPROVE COLLABORATION FOR AGILE ALM AND DEVOPS

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:51:22 +0000

New TeamForge Orchestrate connects tools, and turns disparate tasks into associated activities for cross-functional collaboration and visual traceability BRISBANE, Calif., June 18, 2013, CollabNet (www.collab.net), the leader for Enterprise Cloud Development, today announced TeamForge 7 and TeamForge Orchestrate – major new capabilities for its open ALM platform. TeamForge Orchestrate is a new add-on product that helps software organizations connect disparate tools and activities, and produce cross-functional associations and visual traceability throughout the application lifecycle. TeamForge 7 includes Adaptive Planning Boards for hybrid Agile-based project management and Lifecycle Dashboards for centralized visibility across projects and tools. Together, TeamForge 7 and TeamForge Orchestrate provide IT organizations with an open and extendable ALM platform for enterprise Agile and DevOps that greatly reduces cycle times – while providing the freedom and control to use a range of open source and commercial tools in unison. “With the advent of mobile and cloud, the days of the heavyweight and monolithic toolsets to build and deploy software are over, making room for a federated ALM platform that coalesces all of the assets, data and activities that occur throughout software delivery,” said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO for CollabNet. “TeamForge 7 and Orchestrate address the challenges resulting from today’s increasingly complex software environments, allowing cross-tool data and cross-team activities to flow in a structured, traceable and visual manner – empowering organizations to improve code quality through better collaboration and traceability” Today’s software delivery environments are increasingly fragmented due to the open nature of development and the proliferation of tools and processes. New applications and delivery platforms, such as cloud, mobile, social and big data mandate new strategies for ALM success. Synchronizing cross-functional data from the tools teams want to use, and coordinating activities that occur from “idea through deployment,” is critical to Agile and DevOps success. TeamForge continues to solve the dilemma of having to choose a monolithic platform over best-of-breed point tools. With Orchestrate, it collects and stores metadata related to key lifecycle activities and draws associations between disparate tools for the ultimate purpose of traceability. This centralized system of record connects previously unconnected ALM activities, syndicating human and machine-generated transactions to bridge IT silos and provide context between tasks. The result is cross-functional and automated ALM traceability – presented in an intuitive graphical interface – that is critically important for software engineers and a capability that is sorely lacking in today’s commercial tools that provide only simplistic traceability support. “The need to collaborate across tools and processes has never been stronger, and organizations realize this is a must requirement if they want to scale Agile and bridge development and operations via DevOps,” said Melinda Ballou, principal analyst at IDC. “Coordinating point tool choices and providing the centralized and social collaboration needed to manage change in a structured fashion are key elements for successful innovation and execution.” TeamForge Orchestrate offers: • Control Center for Delivery Pipelines: creates traceability across disparate tools, enabling graphical traceability of delivery pipelines across tools and clouds to measurably reduce cycle times. • Social Activity Streams: embedded social activity streams link comments and discussions to events, data and activities to provide context through continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. • Agent-based APIs: an easy-to-use integration model provides traceability links between TeamForge and third-party tools. This eliminates “vendor lock-in.” Pre-packaged integrations include Git and Subversion, Jenkins, TeamCity, ReviewBoard and others. This tool ecosystem can be expanded with community-built integrations. TeamForge 7 offers: • Adaptive Planning Boards: helps teams facilitate product and release planning regardless of development method – Agile, traditional or hybrid in-houses processes – in real-time and through a flexible drag-and-drop framework. • Enterprise Lifecycle Dashboards: a range of pre-packaged and customizable lifecycle reports provide a holistic view across projects, tools and platforms. • Additional features: include greatly enhanced usability with 3x faster workflows, updated support for Git/Gerrit and more.

CrowdIt launches with 140 projects, takes aim at industry norms by adding value beyond just funding – offers networking, peer review and first-to-market resources for crowdfunding success SPRINGFIELD, MO, June 4, 2013 – CrowdIt (www.crowdit.com), the first company to bring business networking and support services into the crowdfunding experience, today announced that its crowdfunding site went live with more than 140 projects ready to be funded. CrowdIt has created strong industry buzz and attracted a large initial number of projects and users due to its mission to revolutionize the crowdfunding industry by adding value beyond just the funding event. Its model provides much-needed support for success through mentoring, peer-review and third-party support services, while extending the crowdfunding experience to the professional community at large through an interactive and engaging social network. The company also is contributing $10,000 to the project that reaches the highest amount of funding by Aug. 18, 2013, 75 days after today’s go-live date. “The live launch of CrowdIt is a great day for the company, all of our dreamers with projects, our partners and the industry as we introduce new and innovative ways to improve the crowdfunding experience,” said Jason Graf, co-founder and CEO of CrowdIt. “Starting today, people can support projects and soon, business professionals can join our social business network community to ignite the next wave in crowdfunding that shifts the focus from just funding to end-to-end project success.” CrowdIt now has more than 140 projects, from more than 30 states that range from small to very large, with an average project size of around $60,000. It presents an entirely new approach to crowdfunding with a clear mission – to extend beyond just funding by incorporating much-needed expert advice, peer review, collaboration and business networking into the core functionality of the site. The CrowdIt community already has more than 1,000 registered Dreamers (project owners) and Believers (project supporters). Suits (business professionals and mentors) will soon be able to join the site as well. Anyone can sign into the CrowdIt community to search for like-minded partners, engage in conversation and collaborate toward the success of the crowdfunding project. In addition to funding projects, CrowdIt offers: • CrowdIt Project Groups: all project owners can set up groups of supporters and mentors to create a social and collaborative workspace to brainstorm and move projects forward. • Inter-network Communication: Suits, Dreamers and Believers will all be able to communicate via direct messaging and within weeks, instant messaging. This extends the interactivity of the CrowdIt community to promote collaboration and project success. • Badges Highlighting Special Users: Through both unique levels of participation and contributions on the site, people can unlock achievements and new capabilities through an initial set of 25 badges offered by CrowdIt. Furthermore, Graf says CrowdIt will soon be able offer Suit Community Sign-ups. Suits are the professional experts that are welcome and encouraged to support the crowdfunding movement through CrowdIt. Lawyers, accountants, consultants, accredited investors and experienced entrepreneurs can soon join the CrowdIt community to connect with and support project dreamers that are in need of assistance and guidance. CrowdIt will continue to add new features and functionality to the site and the crowd itself will be instrumental in determining what capabilities can be improved and what other features should be considered.
