Overview
Product Management
ScrumWorks Pro builds agile principles into the product management workflow, allowing users to define and prioritize work, manage product release cycles, while also monitoring sprint progress at the team level. Some of the rich agile product management functionality includes:
Drag-and-drop interface
Project milestone management
Epics for project scope goals
Product management with business weighting and ROI
Categorization of work using “Themes”
Customized views with dockable components
Comment threads per artifact
Iteration Management
Iteration management with ScrumWorks Pro is simple and intuitive. Users can define "sprints" of arbitrary length, transfer items from the product backlog to the sprint backlog using drag-and-drop, and manage tasks quickly. Some of the rich functionality that enables ScrumWorks Pro’s sprint management includes:
Team task board
Sprint task tracking
“My Tasks” View
Timesheets and time tracking
Impediment Tracking
Custom iteration calendars
Program Management
“Programs” represent a collection of related Products. Used to model cross-cutting date and feature goals, Programs can have date-driven milestones, as well as high level feature milestones called “Epics”.
Program Management - coordinate multiple projects
Manage and track cross-cutting date and feature goals
Flexibility to model “shared component” or “core systems”
Reporting and Analytics
Scrum is unique in its use of empirical data to forecast release dates and ScrumWorks Pro contains extensive reporting and analytics capabilities that are reality-based and Scrum-specific. The tool tracks such metrics as velocity, the rate at which the software is completed; the rate of requirements change; and the rate at which value is added to the product. This data can then be used to generate reports and forecasts that are always rooted in reality.

The new version of ScrumWorks Pro is fully integrated with the CollabNet TeamForge™ ALM platform, creating an end-to-end Agile ALM platform for distributed agile software development. ScrumWorks Pro also integrates with the widely used defect tracking tools for Bugzilla and JIRA, with future integrations planned for best-of-breed requirements management, testing and defect tracking.
