Manage requirements & bugs, plan releases and track progress while keeping your agile team constantly connected.
TeamPulse allows users to expressively define and effectively manage requirements. The product enables you to easily capture ‘user stories’ (high-level informal statements of requirements), associate them to personas (end-user profiles), create relationships between stories and much more.
Establish start and end dates for releases and iterations, set capacity and start moving work items from the product backlog to the iterations. In addition to scheduling work, in your plan you can also account for risks and issues to help your team be better prepared to manage change.
When working on multiple projects, having a unified cross-project perspective is very important. Without having to go to multiple screens in TeamPulse developers can see all their tasks in one place and managers can see the progress across different projects and people.
TeamPulse Time Tracking supports your workflow and allows you to easily report time with just a few clicks. Tracking time with TeamPulse is accurate and friction-less, and also gives you a complete perspective over all your teams and the work they are doing.
Kanban helps teams visualize the flow of work items through the development process. In TeamPulse you can put the principle into practice with the help of the virtual kanban boards and intuitive backlog. Set a minimum and a maximum number (work in progress limits) of items each state can hold and the TeamPulse kanban boards will alert you when limitations are not met. This way you can easily spot bottlenecks and improve the flow of work. There are two types of kanban boards – story board and task board. You can do pretty much everything with them: create or edit work items, filter by people, iterations or areas and much more. Many teams use the boards in their daily stand ups.
Stay up to date with all project activity and start conversations around specific events like new or updated work items, comments made on these items, as well as status updates by team members. In addition, you can also mention teammates to directly pull them into a conversation.
The Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) analyzes and reports the elements in your project that do not conform to the agile best practices, allowing you to address problems early on. For example, you can have the tool track if all requirements/stories assigned to the current iteration have a time estimate, if they are mature enough, if there is work in progress remaining in previous iterations, etc.
The TeamPulse Ideas & Feedback Portal helps you connect your software team with your customers, partners and other company departments so that you can focus on what matters most – building the right features in the right priority and increase customer value. The Feedback Portal is offered separately as a TeamPulse extension.
Telerik TeamPulse can be integrated with various products and services such as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Telerik Test Studio, Open Data Protocol (oData) and Microsoft Lync, to help you improve different aspects of your project management process.
TeamPulse supports the complete process of creating, triaging and assigning bugs. This bug management workflow allows team members to address bugs more efficiently and spend less time dealing with reported issues.
