Traditional software delivery environments limit productive collaboration: Islands of People, Process and Information

Little to no project visibility

Data locked in proprietary APIs

Poor process and workflow integration

High maintenance and administration costs

Persistent functional, geographic and organizational silos

� Traditionally, each tool came

with its own

�UI - Web and desktop

presentations of views and tasks

�Logic – Workflow, process,

search, query, scale, security and

collaboration

�Storage – Availability, traceability

�Privacy, backup/archive

� Resulting in...

�Brittle integrations

�Silos everywhere

�High cost to maintain and

administer

�Proprietary API's

Innovation for a smarter planet

Team collaboration across silos

7

• Silo’d teams; disconnected data

• Important discussions are lost to email -project records are missing the “real reason” for decisions

• Unified team shares linked data

• ALM environment tracks what is important for delivering

• “Am I blocking others”

• “Are others waiting for my approval”

Every artifact is a web link. Traceability is automated as you perform work. Empower teams AND provide flexibility to utilize resources from anywhere.

Real-time dynamic planning

12

• Plans live outside of ALM environment

• Manual, error-prone updates

• Separate from team activities and assignments

• Plans fully integrated with execution

• Continuous planning

• Instantly see the impact of changes to delivery dates

What is the impact of business trade-offs on our current delivery dates?


Provide both agile and traditional views on a plan

13

Taskboards

Gantt charts

Support any planning method

Enable success w/ transparency

Roadmap charts


Plan Snapshots - Compare plans over time

� How has my plan changed over time?

�What is the quality of our planning?

�Did we make our date because we changed the plan and/or our estimates?

require little more than a PC with 2

GB of RAM and a P4 or better

processor

* Approximate as of Oct 2010
