New Mingle Release, Webinar on next-gen functional testing


ThoughtWorks Studios Newsletter - Feb ‘08 edition



Hello,

Our February newsletter previews the upcoming release of Mingle. We’ve also got some Mingle case studies and info on a webinar featuring the legendary Ward Cunningham.

 

Mingle 2.0: Raising the Bar on Global Collaboration & Program Management
Mingle 2.0 Sneak Preview We’re just a few weeks away from Mingle 2.0! Here’s a sneak preview:

Introducing Card Trees™: Branch Out. Drill Down. Roll Up.

Delivering with a globally distributed team requires the ability to see the 'forest' as well as to dive into the details when necessary. Card Trees, a revolutionary new feature in Mingle 2.0, enables you to do just that. Combined with real requirement-to-code integration, Card Trees yield the kind one-click visibility Management wants. Spend more time working with your team rather than with spreadsheets and reporting up!

Other highlights:

  • Cross project reporting and management provides real-time visibility for at any level of detail (program, project, requirement or even team member).
  • Visualize complete card and task hierarchy of an entire project.
  • Track key metrics and ensure adherence to key compliance requirements with new formula properties.
  • Use APIs and plug-ins to easily integrate Mingle with your existing systems.

Mingle 2.0 is shaping up to be a groundbreaking new release. More details and videos soon.


Mingle Case Studies


Is managing globally distributed projects proving tough? ThoughtWorks project manager Ross Niemi explains how Mingle helps manage stories, track and report progress for distributed projects.

Mingle 1.1 power user Aaron Jensen (of Eleutian Technology) has a creative way of using Mingle to create burn-up charts and date stats.
