VersionOne Introduces Program-Level Planning, Tracking and Reporting Enhancements

ATLANTA, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VersionOne, recognized by agile practitioners as the leader in agile project management tools, announces several new features in its Fall 2013 Release to make scaling agile easier by giving software organizations a way to more efficiently align business strategy with execution. This release simplifies program planning with the addition of custom reporting built in to a PlanningRoom, a dedicated, self-service environment for strategic planners to plan, track, assess and adapt their efforts over time; additional Scaled Agile Framework®(SAFe™)* reports; and enhanced epic breakdown.
