The VersionOne Spring 2012 Release is now available providing:

·         expanded Agile Portfolio Management functionality for more complex agile initiatives

·         improved user experience for newer teams

·         more sophisticated Kanban support for cross-methodology teams

·         a brand new VersionOne product edition for growing agile teams

Release highlights include:

Customizable Epic Cards:  Enhanced configuration options let ScrumMasters radiate the specific information that each team wants to see.

Epic Value Flow:  Cumulative flow diagrams typically measure the number of items or the cost of those items flowing through a process, not the *value* those items deliver to the business. The Epic Value Flow option allows product managers to see and demonstrate what value has been delivered so far, what is stuck in process, and where they should push to optimize the flow of value to the organization.

Better Visibility for Links & Attachments: Links and attachments provide clarity and important contextual information for Epics. These assets are now easily accessible from downstream epics and stories, providing guidance and context to developers building out the sprint-level deliverables.

Getting Started Resources:  If you’re new to VersionOne the updated ‘Getting Started’ page helps you get up to speed faster. Embedded video content and useful resource links provide the guidance new users need to quickly get started.

Self-service password resets:  Self- service password resets takes the burden of these requests off of system administrators.

Policies on Storyboards:  Ensure process consistency by creating and attaching policies to each Storyboard. Policies are an embodiment of team norms and are used to provide process guidance to team members as they move cards.

Detailed Release Notes including additional new capabilities are also available.
