CollabNet SourceForge 5.0: Feature Preview #2
The new project template feature in CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0
allows users to jump-start new projects by capturing and re-using the
entire structure and content of existing projects from discussion forums
and project pages (which we discussed in the last feature preview) to
tracker fields, shared tracker searches, and workflow definitions.
Project templates make it easy to standardize tooling and lifecycle
processes, helping organizations ensure a consistent experience across
distributed development teams, reducing the learning curve for new
members, and improving organizational flexibility.
