StarTeam Agile 2.0Software development organizations are embracing Agile processes to help them improve software delivery through greater levels of collaboration and flexibility. However, this is not without its challenges. Integrating agile practices and teams with existing, traditional processes can be frustrating, for both developers and managers. Visibility is often fragmented, both throughout the lifecycle and across the enterprise. The increasing use of distributed development only makes the challenge greater, reducing confidence in software delivery and release readiness.

Product OverviewMicro Focus’s new tool for agile planning and tracking, Micro Focus® StarTeam Agile, brings real enterprise-class agility to development teams, offering easy-to-use tooling for all your Agile needs.

Agile teams can work in a natural, even tactile way, recreating many of their preferred manual activities, safe in the knowledge that all their as-sets and all their changes, like user stories and tasks, are being tracked, traced and versioned.

And as members of the StarTeam® ‘family,’ us-ers automatically build a comprehensive view of Agile and non-Agile assets that reach across the entire project landscape, regardless of geo-graphical location, asset type or methodology.

Key FeaturesStarTeam Agile provides a great environment for your Agile teams to carry out their work in a more effective and rewarding environment. From the great user experience to the seam-less integration with your existing develop-ment environment, StarTeam Agile is loaded with features to improve the way you deliver great software. These include an intuitive team board, a clean and simple interface which dis-plays all the current sprint activity. Use filtering to view each team member’s tasks and stories independently. StarTeam Agile backlog is the

most natural way to create user stories, broken down to create a hierarchical view and priori-tized for allocation to current or future sprints. The natural sprint planning and simple burn-down charts make allocating backlog items to agile teams a simple process.

Monitoring progress couldn’t be easier. Imme-diate visibility at individual, team, sprint and re-lease level delivers complete understanding of work being done and any issues arising.

Product backlogs can be built up with ease, supported by the capture of requirements and defects from other tools through the powerful ‘Info Stream’ capability

Flexible tagging and filtering allows user stories to be created quickly but enhanced later with valuable detail, powering rapid backlog development and sprint planning

Intuitive sprint card panel provides simple and immediate visibility of previous activity across multiple sprints and stories, enabling effective provision of future workload

Team board with ‘filter by individual’ for easier daily review sessions, and sprint-based discussions for greater collaboration and on-going understanding of issues— including the automatic creation of discussion items for blocked stories

Impact tabs on each story show traceability between any originating requirements and
