Agile tool: Tasktop 发布了Agile Planner for Eclipse
Tasktop announced the Tasktop Agile Planner at Agile 2010 with immediate availability to the beta via an early access program and general release in mid-September. The Planner is intended to enhance current ALM offerings by connecting planning activities (teams, team leads, coaches) to task management activities (developers) in a common environment (Eclipse / Mylyn).
Tasktop's Planner can provide access to project management tools, including Thoughtworks Studios' Mingle, IBM Rational Team Concert, Rally, CollabNet's ScrumWorks, Atlassians's JIRA, and Version One. It also can link user stories with defects stored in external systems like HP's Quality Center and Bugzilla.
The Tasktop Agile Planner leverages Mylyn connectors to address these pain points by giving Agile teams the ability to manage existing defect and project management systems directly from Eclipse, making it effortless to maintain project status awareness and keep plans up-to-date. Tasktop uniquely provides planning support that spans across multiple vendors' solutions. For example, a story in Rally can be associated with defects in external systems such as JIRA and Bugzilla. The planner is available as both a rich desktop client and Eclipse plugin with support for Tasktop Certified Agile project management solutions including ThoughtWorks Studios' Mingle, IBM Rational Team Concert, Rally, CollabNet's ScrumWorks, Atlassian's JIRA and VersionOne.
