CollabNet TeamForge to ScrumWorks Pro

Keep Your Scrum Teams in Sync
The CollabNet TeamForge to ScrumWorks Pro Integration provides an Eclipse-based user interface to configure the mappings between ScrumWorks Pro product backlog items and tasks and TeamForge trackers.

The integration between ScrumWorks Pro and the CollabNet TeamForge platform creates a bi-directional synchronization of artifacts to facilitate Scrum development. The CollabNet Certified Integration brings superior Scrum project management into the Agile lifecycle—manage products, releases, and sprints in ScrumWorks Pro and provide real-time project management data to the entire team throughout each sprint. Organizations today need visibility and traceability of all software development assets in order to promote a culture of collaboration to adequately support Scrum initiatives. They want to save time and money, while enabling their teams to succeed.

How it works: 1. The story is moved to Release/Milestone in both applications. 2. In SWP, the story is added to a team’s sprint. CTF also shows this change. 3. A task is created in CTF and appears in SWP. 4. Code is committed to CTF. 5. Traceability from the story to the associated code is captured in CTF. 6. In SWP the task is marked as done, and the story is marked as done. These statuses are reflected in CTF.

Why TeamForge and ScrumWorks?

Developers can update their effort right from within their integrated development environment (IDE) to ensure accurate reporting on sprint progress. It supports integration and synchronization between user stories and tasks managed in ScrumWorks Pro and TeamForge tracker artifacts and planning folders. These associations extend TeamForge associations to ScrumWorks Pro creating traceability between related assets allowing teams to work more quickly and produce higher quality software. TeamForge allows all software development assets, including Scrum project data, to be stored within a centralized repository with global search capabilities to provide complete project visibility and promote collaboration.
