"We are a distributed team, and need to represent the product backlog in a way that didn't require physical presence. We chose V1: Agile Enterprise because it provides the team a great informative project workspace."
- Steve Ropa Director of Development, Embarcadero Technologies
For large-scale agile organizations, the Release Planning capabilities in V1: Agile Enterprise offer valuable management visibility into the progress and status of an evolving project.
Release Planning in V1: Agile Enterprise is a valuable tool for defining, prioritizing, and estimating work items to be delivered within a project’s scope. Release plans are also useful to consolidate changes based on continual customer feedback, evolving business needs, changing project priorities, and emerging market trends. Continuous release planning ensures that an up-to-date plan is always available to stakeholders.
Release Forecasting: Answering the Question “When will the release be ready?”
Release analysis in V1: Agile Enterprise provides the simple tools for addressing this critical issue for managers or any stakeholders:
Based on the current velocity and scope, calculate the project’s completion date and remaining iterations.
Customizable “what-if?” planning that considers changes to the scope or team that could be made to impact the delivery date.
Team Scheduling & Cross-Project Team Planning
V1: Agile Enterprise offers organizations flexibility in segmenting project work in any way that is optimal for the team and the project:
Multiple teams can work on a single project or release to expedite product delivery to the market. In this case, progress is tracked separately by team or team member and can be rolled-up for the project as a whole.
A cross-functional team can support multiple, smaller projects over time. For this team, tracking occurs at both the individual and single team level as well as across all projects on which the team worked.
