Agile at an Enterprise Scale

• When you create your Planning Folder, you can now choose the
folder type using the folder type buttons:
– Folder
• Can contain sub-Folders
• Often used for Product or
Deliverable identification
– Release
• Can be created within a Folder
• Can contain sub-Releases
– Iteration
• Must be subordinate to a Release
• Mandatory Start and End dates
Typed Planning Folders
Planning Folder Creation Dialog
Select the Planning Folder
type using the type button
Folder types are
identified by icon in the
Planning Folder list

• The new avatar service that runs throughout TeamForge (in tracker boards,
SCM, etc.) allows users to select personalized or auto-generated avatars
• Avatars connect TeamForge elements that use either user name- or email
address-based identification to the user’s profile
New TeamForge Avatars

Persistent Iteration and Team Selection
• Iteration and Team selection persist across different views
– For the user’s convenience, TeamForge remembers the Iteration Number or
Team last worked on and pre-selects them in different views

Artifact Filtering and Task Auto-Assignment
• Artifact filtering in Planning Folders
– Users can view All, Open, or Closed artifacts and filter by the column headings
• Task auto-assignment in Task Board
– As a user moves Tasks across the swim lanes, TeamForge can auto-assign these
Tasks to him/herself

Kanban Boards

• The power of many – TeamForge delivers support for multiple
independent, configurable, named Kanban boards
• Flexibility – for each Kanban board, users can:
– Create custom value stream maps
– Configure Work-in-Progress (WIP) limits
– Customize TeamForge trackers
• Compelling visual design and high usability
– Collapsible bookshelf-style representation of value streams
– Carousel scroll for easy viewing of numerous WIP states
– Convenient viewing of child cards
– New TeamForge avatars
Best-in-class Kanban
看板

• With TeamForge 8.1, users can:
– Create multiple Kanban boards to model multiple value streams
• E.g., as part of the same TeamForge project, an administrator can set up one
value stream for the development team’s requirements backlog and another
one for the operations team to provision developers’ software and sandboxes
– Configure Kanban boards independently of each other
– Set the default board for a project. Delete or edit boards
The Power of Many

• A collapsible bookshelf design for value streams enables users
to:
– View more Kanban board states on one screen
– Collapse Kanban states that are not of interest
Compelling Visual Representation of Value Streams

• Use carousel scroll to conveniently view Kanban work-in-
progress states beyond the five that can fit on one screen
Easy Viewing of Numerous WIP States with Carousel Scroll

• Easily and conveniently view child cards of
Kanban cards
• Number of child cards (including both open
and closed) is shown in a gray circle at the
top right of the Kanban card
– Clicking on the gray circle showing the
number of child cards opens a scrollable list of
child cards, including up to five cards per page
Convenient Viewing of Child Cards

• Map multiple tracker statuses to a Kanban state
– Pick a Tracker status when dropping cards into a Kanban state
Tracker Status Mapping and Updates

• Set limits to define the minimum and maximum number of
cards (WIP items) allowed in each Kanban state
– TeamForge provides a visual alert when Kanban limits are violated
Ability to Set Kanban Value Stream Limits

Integrations – Atlassian’s JIRA

• Boost your JIRA with TeamForge’s unrivaled enterprise SCM capabilities for
Git and Subversion
• Add TeamForge-enabled visibility, traceability, and reporting to JIRA projects
• Effortlessly connect your JIRA to best-of-breed commercial and OSS tools,
such as Jenkins and Nexus, while maintaining end-to-end traceability
• Add the contextual richness of TeamForge to JIRA
– See all the activities related to a JIRA event throughout its lifecycle and across tools,
including downstream commits, builds, reviews, binary artifacts, and more.
• All from the familiar JIRA user interface
Supercharge Your JIRA

• TeamForge enables unique traceability across tools, teams, and processes by
associating JIRA issues with related downstream events and artifacts and
presenting them all in one place via Associations Viewer
Unprecedented Visibility and Traceability
Expand the traceability
chain to expose new
layers of associations
and relationships
Each node represents an
activity (issue, commit, etc.)
and its timeline. Lines indicate
relationships between activities
The chain of associations shows how requirements became
working software, with each activity detailed along the way
Timeline
JIRA issue
Commits
Code reviews
CI builds
Additional
associations
available

• The TeamForge JIRA add-on installs through a web browser
• Developers associate JIRA issues to TeamForge source code check-ins using
the commit message
• TeamForge tracks associations between JIRA and TeamForge source code
check-ins and shows them in JIRA or TeamForge
JIRA Integration – How It Works
$ git commit -am ‘[MD-1] refactored for new API guidelines'
[master 78b2670] [MD-1] refactored for new API guidelines
1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

JIRA Integration – User Experience
The TeamForge tab in JIRA shows
direct associations to the JIRA
issue including TeamForge
commits and upstream activities
“Trace” shows the full traceability
chain from requirements to
deployment on a timeline,
including commits and
downstream events, e.g., CI builds,
code reviews, and binary artifacts

• Add JIRA’s planning and tracking capabilities to the TeamForge
best-of-breed toolchain—regardless of JIRA’s deployment type
– Integrate JIRA Server via CTF adapter and JIRA Cloud via webhooks
• Maintain traceability and audit trails from planning to deployment

Git Replication Made Easy

Faster Feature-Branch Development with Git Branch Support
• Leverage the new Git branch support feature to:
– View all branches in a Git repository
– Compare branches to see to what extent and how branches “drift”
from the main branch and each other

Git Pull Requests

• Gerrit’s individual commit-based reviews
– Each commit is reviewed individually and gets amended until accepted
• Feature-branch workflows with pull (or merge) requests
– A group of commits (a branch) is reviewed. If not accepted, follow-up
commits are created to amend the branch
Code Review Options for Git

• Select the code review and collaboration method that best
meets your needs and team’s preferences
Support for Both Pull Requests and Commit-Based Workflows

Unprotected
Branches
Protected
Branches
• Important branches are protected and require reviews
– Commits to protected branches trigger a commit-based review
– Merges involving a protected branch trigger a pull-request review
• Other branches are considered unprotected
– They either accept pull requests or do not mandate reviews
Applying Branch-Specific Review Policies – an Example
master
release-3.0
GUI-integration
feature-23
COMMIT-BASED REVIEWS
PULL REQUEST

• Leverage comprehensive pull-request functionality
– Create, update, abandon, rebase, and merge pull requests
• Facilitate collaboration by enabling developers to vote, review,
comment, and exchange notifications
Pull Requests in TeamForge

• Gain full visibility into a team’s merge activities, including open,
merged, and abandoned pull requests and key details for each
• See all pull-request details for each branch
