BRISBANE, CA, November 21, 2010

CollabNet , the leader in Agile application lifecycle management (Agile ALM) in the Cloud, today announced the immediate availability of ScrumWorks Pro 4.5, the latest version of the companyâEUR s industry-leading Agile project and program management software. The new version is available both as a hosted service and for on-premise installation and features a wide array of powerful new reporting capabilities. More than 1,600 companies and 150,000 users around the world use ScrumWorks. More information about ScrumWorks Pro 4.5 is available at http://www.danube.com/scrumworks/pro/release/4.5/.

When purchased as a hosted service, ScrumWorks Pro 4.5 provides enterprises with instant access for new team members, upgrades in minutes, and the industryâEUR s highest availability for anytime, anywhere access, while eliminating the software, hardware, and administration investment costs associated with on-site installations.

The new release is the latest element in CollabNetâEUR s aggressive Cloud strategy, following closely on the companyâEUR s acquisition of Codesionâ„ , the worldwide Subversion hosting leader. Today, CollabNet Cloud services host millions of software developers, project and program managers, and other users.

âEURœThe new ScrumWorks Pro capabilities were selected based on CollabNetâEUR s real-world experience working with thousands of Agile enterprise customers worldwide,âEUR said Victor Szalvay, vice president and chief technology officer, Scrum Business Line, CollabNet. âEURœThe product is intentionally designed to support the core Agile values and processes and is the ideal platform both for small teams and for organizations scaling Agile to meet the requirements of large, distributed enterprise development environments.âEUR

The new version of ScrumWorks Pro also delivers powerful new program- and team-level Web-based reporting features for monitoring and modeling work, even within the largest, most-complex, and distributed Agile development environments. New reports include:
âEUR Hours Spent by Theme
âEUR Lean Cycle Time
âEUR Release Burn-Up
âEUR Team Average Velocity
âEUR Epic Budget Progress

These advanced reporting tools help organizations to track R&D hours, to work more effectively under fixed budgets or fixed schedules, and to more accurately forecast release and iteration milestones.

A new comments feature enhances team-level collaboration, enabling development organizations to log vital notes and discussions pertaining to ScrumWorks Pro artifacts.
