Chicago - 13 Mon 2007 - Global IT consultancy ThoughtWorks, Inc., today announced that Mingle, the company's new Agile project management application, will make its first public appearance at this year's Agile 2007 conference held August 13-17 in Washington D.C.,. For this debut, visitors to ThoughtWorks' booth (No. 18) will be able to test-drive Mingle on a Nintendo Wii console.

Mingle enables IT departments to radically improve the management of Agile projects by providing critical project intelligence for teams making real-time decisions based on Agile metrics collected from everyday activities. The application supports software delivery by providing the entire team - from project managers to developers to business analysts - with a single place to share all project output. Mingle was developed by ThoughtWorks Studios, the product development arm of ThoughtWorks.

Drawing on 10 years of Agile experience, ThoughtWorks created a powerful application offering unparalleled flexibility.  For example, rather than locking users into a standard ontology, users can customize terminology to fit their own approach and culture. Mingle also integrates all critical project information so teams can collaborate and document, track bugs, capture requirements, and link code to requirements all in one place.

"We're very excited for the world to see Mingle at Agile 2007," said Chad Wathington, VP of Product Management, ThoughtWorks Studios.  "Agile practitioners will get a chance to see, first-hand, how Mingle allows you to work in your own style while facilitating the use of Agile best practices."

ThoughtWorks will highlight Mingle's easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface through a contest that tests agilists' skills using Mingle via the Nintendo Wii console.  The person with the best time in a contest to perform a simulated rapid iteration planning session will be awarded the Wii.
