The CollabNet TeamForge™ platform combines software configuration management (SCM), build/test, issue tracking, document management, project management, lab management, and collaboration tools to empower distributed development teams, using any Agile, lean, or custom practices.

By centralizing management of users, projects, processes, and IP assets, the TeamForge platform reduces costs, increases productivity, and improves project visibility. The platform fits any development environment, supporting any combination of development tools, technologies, and processes. Optimized for Subversion, it can be used in SCM mode to scale Subversion to the enterprise, or in ALM mode to add robust application lifecycle management support from requirements through release.

Improvements in Personalization and Configuration
TeamForge 5.4, introduces user interface enhancements that apply to both the tracker and planning folder list artifacts view. Personalization options make it easier for you to define and save your own view of data. You can:

• Sort tracker columns
• Prioritize your sort according to primary secondary, and tertiary levels of importance
• Easily configure columns and save personal column settings
• Set saved column settings to be your default view (a project administrator can also establish a default view for the entire team)

SCM or ALM: Choose the License Option that's Right for You
In the TeamForge platform, version 5.4, you can choose between two different license options, either at the entire site level, or on a per user basis.

• Need basic source code management? The SCM license combines enterprise level Subversion source code management with collaboration tools.
• Looking for a robust development solution? The ALM license provides the full set of TeamForge tools, including Trackers, Documents, Tasks, and Reports, along with the source code and collaboration capabilities of the SCM option.

Dashboarding of Key Agile Metrics
Graphical reports such as burndown charts and the number of open vs. closed artifacts allow you to assess progress and estimated completion time at any planning folder level. Now, with TeamForge  5.4, those same graphical reports can be embedded into project pages, providing your entire team with complete visibility of project progress from a single view.

Enhanced Dynamic Planning
Agile planning is even easier with the TeamForge platform's enhanced tracker and planning folder functionality to help your team better understand the purpose, state, and capacity for any planning folder and to better estimate and prioritize work. With the enhanced dynamic planning features in CollabNet TeamForge 5.4, you can:

• Set a status on planning folders
• Set and measure folder capacity
• Tie a planning folder to a release
• Export artifacts within a planning folder
• View only active folders
• Add story points to tracker artifacts
• Sequence artifacts at any level of the planning folder hierarchy

Achieve higher quality and faster time to market using Agile development. A robust tracker and planning folders support Agile development. Team members can see progress and get updates on status quickly, to react and respond in iterations. Visibility means that all team members are on the same page, working on common timelines, with common goals. This creates efficiencies that speed product development.

Reduce costs by consolidating tools and centralizing administration. Consolidating tools saves time and effort—team members know where to go to find a tool and that everyone is familiar with the tools, reducing time spent learning new procedures.

Support global collaboration while ensuring IP security. Teams collaborate by using a repository that houses one truth, supported by version control tools. Any team member can access tools or code with a secure internet connection, no matter where they are. TeamForge can also be hosted for further security.

Enable traceability to simplify compliance. Artifacts are housed in a common repository, making them visible to all team members. Reporting features ensure that status can be easily conveyed to management and other stakeholders.

Speed project start-up from weeks to minutes. TeamForge integrates with all popular applications and third-party tools, allowing it to easily work in any environment. Users can continue working with their current tools and current environments. This eliminates delays that come with learning new processes.
