VANCOUVER and ATLANTA, Dec. 17, 2009 - Tasktop Technologies (http://tasktop.com), creators of Eclipse Mylyn and provider of task management integration for Agile ALM, and VersionOne (http://www.versionone.com), recognized by agile practitioners as the leader in agile project management tools, today announced a partnership to create the VersionOne Mylyn Connector. Set for release with Tasktop Pro in March, 2010, the connector will help streamline software development by providing direct access to VersionOne products from within the Eclipse IDE.

The VersionOne Mylyn Connector builds on Mylyn's innovative task-focused productivity technology to provide development teams with the most relevant source code for a given task. It helps reduce information overload for large-scale development projects and facilitate more efficient and collaborative multitasking. The Tasktop Pro integration is a standalone application that will provide rich desktop access to stories, defects and tasks in VersionOne for product owners. The integration will be included in Tasktop Pro, and provide time-tracking facilities as well as the ability to link VersionOne stories and defects to dependent artifacts in other systems with a Mylyn connector. It will be Tasktop Certified, and appear in the Mylyn Connector Discovery listing that is included in eight of nine Eclipse distribution packages.

"As agile development reaches deeper into the enterprise, the task management layer is critical to providing developers with IDE workflow integration, and project managers with a more accurate view of progress and status," said Mik Kersten, CEO of Tasktop Technologies and creator of the open source Eclipse Mylyn project. "The VersionOne integration will leverage the broad network of Mylyn-based ALM tools, providing developers with a fully integrated suite that takes advantage of VersionOne's leadership in agile project management."

V1: Agile Enterprise is one of the leading agile project management tools on the market. It provides an easy-to-use, centralized agile planning and management platform that is used globally by thousands of multi-team, multi-project development organizations. With a simple, standardized agile process flow and enhanced team collaboration features, V1: Agile Enterprise is a highly scalable, flexible and informative management tool. The Tasktop Pro and Mylyn Connector provides a new productivity layer that links VersionOne's project management capabilities with real-time development activity, improving project status visibility for team leads and product owners.

"VersionOne is committed to helping software organizations drive efficiencies and improvements in productivity," said Robert C. Holler, VersionOne president and CEO. "With the connector, the productivity benefits of Mylyn's task-focused interface technology will be available to VersionOne teams. The integration also enables users to easily move or link artifacts between applications connected to Tasktop, such as Microsoft Outlook, Bugzilla and ClearQuest. For example, users will be able to create a user story within VersionOne from an email or link a VersionOne story with a dependent defect in Bugzilla."

The VersionOne Mylyn Connector will be bundled with Tasktop Pro for $99, and a free trial will be available from (http://tasktop.com) in March 2010. Eclipse Galileo (3.5) users also will be able to install it directly from Mylyn's Connector Discovery in Eclipse.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 9, 2009 - Tasktop Technologies (www.tasktop.com), creators of Eclipse Mylyn and the leading provider of task management for application lifecycle management (ALM), and ThoughtWorks Studios (www.thoughtworks-studios.com) today announced the availability of the ThoughtWorks Studios Mingle® Mylyn Connector. The new offering integrates development activities performed in the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with project management in the new Mingle 3.0. Together, the products help developers easily and accurately track progress while, simultaneously, providing accurate and up-to-date project status visibility for team leads.

"To gain the greatest value from Agile project management tools organizations must accurately track development activity and progress as close to real-time as possible," said Mik Kersten, CEO of Tasktop Technologies and creator of the open source Eclipse Mylyn project. "The Tasktop integration with Mingle makes it effortless for developers to collaborate, update project status, and automatically track time within the Eclipse IDE, bridging the gap between the development and project management layers of the Agile ALM stack."

The Mingle Mylyn Connector enables Mingle development teams to take advantage of Mylyn's innovative task-focused productivity technology that shows only the most relevant source code for a given task. This technology helps reduce information overload for large-scale development projects and enables developers to multitask and recover from interruptions with a single click. With the connector, ThoughtWorks Studios' customers will further improve their productivity by eliminating the need to toggle between their browser, email and IDE to gather information necessary to complete application development tasks. Tasktop and ThoughtWorks Studios are planning to release Mylyn connectors for Twist and Cruise during Q1 of 2010.

Mingle is the project management component of ThoughtWorks Studios' Adaptive ALM^TM, a complete development solution that includes Twist® (test automation) and Cruise® (release management). Major features available in the new Mingle 3.0 include an entirely new communications platform called "Murmurs^TM." Murmurs captures conversations that would otherwise have been lost through unstructured communications - such as IM chats, emails, etc. - and instantly associates team conversations with Mingle project artifacts. Mingle 3.0 also includes new program-level management features that provide cross-project visibility, traceability and extended reporting capabilities. In addition, it provides enhanced reporting capabilities, support for software configuration management (SCM) through Subversion® 1.6.5 and API updates that provide better access to information within Mingle for integration with external applications or systems.

"We are extremely excited to offer our customers a new level of integration between task-level activities and our Mingle project management tool," said Cyndi Mitchell, managing director for ThoughtWorks Studios. "In addition, the integration of our new Murmurs social networking feature available in Mingle 3.0 represents a new level of communication and collaboration within the Eclipse IDE."

The ThoughtWorks Studios Mingle Mylyn Connector is available now and included in Tasktop Pro for $99. A free Tasktop Pro trial is available from http://tasktop.com/download. Eclipse Galileo (3.5) users also will be able to install it directly from Mylyn's Connector Discovery in Eclipse. For more information, visit http://tasktop.com/connectors/thoughtworks-studios.
