PRODUCT FEATURES
Card Wall
Mingle allows you to create virtual Card Walls, that help track user stories, defects, tasks, risks/issues, etc. Drag and drop cards to prioritize or to show progress. Card Walls make collaboration easier and more effective, with a clear view of what is happening in the project and which team member is working on what.
Card Trees™
This groundbreaking new feature allows you to get a broad, overall view of the project ("The Forest") and also dive down into details when necessary. Handle complex projects easily by visually demonstrating to team members how requirements are structured and decomposed. Break down complex requirements into simpler component stories
Integrated Wiki
Mingle provides you with an integrated wiki that helps develop rich requirements documentation, including supporting attachments, enabling effective collaboration with team members.
Reports
Mingle enables you to generate real-time, out-of-the-box reports (like burn-down charts, velocity, etc) to track project progress. Leverage powerful reporting tools to report across multiple projects that you manage. Mingle lets you roll your own reports based on your project's unique requirements.
Custom Properties and Transitions
Mingle provides customizable properties, which you can use to define the structure of your project. Progress cards through the development life cycle. Ensure that your development process is adhered to. Define and track attributes across cards, which can be rolled up to report on the parent card.
USER BENEFITS
Project Collaboration: One Shared Workspace
Do your projects slip because Developers, Testers and Business Experts are not on the same page? Mingle provides a shared workspace for your entire team. Card walls, wikis and updates over RSS feeds and email make team collaboration more effective, reducing delivery risk. Mingle can be used by everyone on a team, and not just the Project Manager.
Project Management: Software Delivery Simplified
When your project tool supports, captures and visualizes all team activity, it is easy to keep track of status and make real-time decisions. With Mingle, Project Management is a natural off-shoot of Project Collaboration: plan, manage and report based on what team members are actually doing, and mitigate delivery risk.
Release & Iteration Planning: Adapt to Changing Requirements
Today's Agile business environment demands that software teams adapt quickly to rapidly changing requirements, and yet produce high-quality software with each iteration and release. With the industry's best user interface, Mingle makes it easy to manage product backlogs, decompose and schedule requirements, trace dependencies and track feature completeness.
Tracking & Reporting: Real-time Data, Real-time Decisions
Incomplete and unreliable data is the bane of the Project Manager. Without accurate information it is impossible to track project progress and identify risks and red flags early. Not with Mingle, though. Used by project teams daily, it holds real-time data that can be used to generate timely and actionable reports - including burn-down charts, velocity tables etc.
Program Management: One-click Visibility Across Projects
When you are in charge of running a program, it is vitally important to gain visibility across projects, so that you can allocate resources and manage constraints effectively. Mingle provides you with all the tools you need to do so. And by integrating with Software Configuration Management (SCM) systems like Subversion, it helps you make sure that vital compliance requirements are addressed.
