Accelerate Software Delivery with TeamForge Agile ALM

With CollabNet TeamForge, you can accelerate software delivery, from idea to code, build and test, to application deployment. Customers achieved 50% and more improvements in delivery times, while reducing cost by 80%. TeamForge does this by realizing efficiencies, automating governance, and engaging all stakeholders, from workgroups to enterprises and beyond.

TeamForge radically simplifies management of software projects, by automating controls for commits, approvals and releases. You gain real-time visibility into project success, documents and artifacts, and ensure predictability with integrated planning.

Provided by CollabNet, the founder of the Subversion project, TeamForge combines cost effectiveness with best-in-class security, scalability and automation.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Central, secure and scalable repository management
CollabNet TeamForge provides central repository management, for Subversion and supporting other repositories like CVS or Git. You can centrally deploy and administrate code and document repositories, via a simple and Web based console. Using TeamForge, you can instantiate Subversion replications and mirroring sites at the click of a button, to speed up repository access and improve availability. Role based security and access control, granular path permissions for trunks and branches, and support for protocols like LDAP ensure that you stay compliant with regulatory and corporate mandates, while simplifying on-boarding of new developers and project team members.

End-to-end tracking of issues and projects
CollabNet TeamForge automates end-to-end tracking of issues and projects, capturing artifact details in context – such as request origin, code, commits, conversations and documents. Change data management registers any changes to artifacts and documents, triggering real-time alerts and feeding audit reports. Analytics and dashboards clearly provide view into status and trends of project and defect, for example with burn-down charts, or ‘open by priority’ lists. Personalized activity workspaces provide actionable insights into open tasks, project status and risk factors.

Project and release planning across scope and timelines
CollabNet TeamForge enables dynamic planning through iterative, constraint driven planning and reporting. You can plan projects, simultaneously across scope and timelines, using flexible hierarchies, drag+drop rankings and reprioritizations. TeamForge supports any methodology, including Agile, waterfall and anything in-between.

Engaging the enterprise, through contextual collaboration
With CollabNet TeamForge, you have access to social, Web based collaboration features, including subscriptions, alerts, documents and versioning, wikis and discussion forms. Conversations and documents are linked back to artifacts, so you can or example track back why a certain feature was implemented in a certain way. Repository search enables discovery across code, discussions, documents and artifacts. Access CollabNet TeamForge is embedded into workflow, invoked from popular productivity tools (like Eclipse, Visual Studio, Microsoft Outlook) or Web browsers.

Continuous integration, from code to build and test
With CollabNet TeamForge, you can automate continuous integration (CI) from code to build and test. TeamForge provides proven integration with 3rd party tools (like Hudson, OpenMake, HP QualityCenter), and for cloud system provisioning (using CollabNet LabManagement functionality).

BENEFITS TO THE USER
Realize efficiencies: By deploying CollabNet TeamForge, you will effectively put an end to uncontrolled proliferation of point tools and repositories, across development, build and test. You can simplify most repetitive tasks, within workgroups and enterprises, and beyond. And you will achieve cloud-elasticity for ALM (application life cycle management), through rapid, automated provisioning and code deployment.

Automate governance: Using CollabNet TeamForge, you will gain unprecedented, real-time visibility into program status and progresses. You can greatly simplify controls and automation for commits, approvals and releases. And you can ensure secure compliance, by controlling and auditing who changes what, and when.

Engage the enterprise: With CollabNet TeamForge, you will gain faster project feedback and improve code reuse. Social, Web based collaboration features engage developers, end-users, QA and IT operations, within companies’ boundaries or on the outside. Dynamic planning ensures timely response to changing needs or constrains, while keeping stakeholders in the loop.

Ensure compliance: Relying on CollabNet TeamForge, you can ensure regulatory and organizational compliance, by controlling who can change what, and when. While simple to manage and monitor, sophisticated role-based security management ensures that your intellectual property (IP) is protected from unwarranted access.
