Continuous Planning.

Agile planning occurs on many levels and is more of a continuous process than an event. For example, release planning is the process of determining at a high level how much can be delivered in a project by a given date. Once the release plan is determined, sprint or iteration planning takes place to drive a more short-term, detailed view of the work that will be necessary to complete the stories and/or defects that have been targeted.

To provide robust planning and scheduling capabilities for enterprises with multiple teams, projects or sites, V1: Agile Enterprise includes several flexible features such as:

• Customizable Project Hierarchy that lets users map VersionOne to their organizational, project, team, regional or release structure and needs - or any combination that is right for them
  
  
• Cross-project teams and team scheduling can be used to help segment the workload on a large project, with each team's progress tracked separately and as a whole. Teams that may complete work on a number of projects over time can also be individually tracked
  
  
• Intelligent Release Forecasting calculates the number of iterations required to complete a release and the end date of the last required iteration to reach project completion
  
  
• Configurable, methodology-specific templates for Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), DSDM, AgileUP, and hybrid methodologies help teams tailor the system to their specific needs
  
  
• Two-level estimation model that allows high-level story sizings to drive release and iteration planning, and low-level task work estimates to drive more detailed work allocations within an iteration
  
  

In V1: Agile Enterprise, we have also significantly extended Agile planning and scheduling capabilities to include a wide variety of unique, powerful options such as:

Custom Fields, Lists and List Values	Feature Groups
Goals	Issues
Links, Notes and Attachments	Programs
Requests	Shared Task and Test Ownership
Team Member Planning	Templates
Themes	Iteration Schedules by Team or Project
