Danube Technologies, a company specializing in management and engineering processes through Scrum, announced partnership with AmDocs Interactive to improve its processes through Scrum.

 

Danube recently released its latest Scrum management tool, ScrumWorks Pro 4. The tool helps customers develop effective project management functionality, thereby addressing the challenges faced by large organizations managing complex development.

 

AmDocs Interactive is formerly known as Qpass (News - Alert).

 

ScrumWorks Pro 4 is also the first truly enterprise-ready Scrum tool and was, in part, driven by Qpass's successful implementation and scaling of Scrum. Qpass implemented Scrum in 2005.

 

Jeff Heinen, director of Product Engineering at Qpass, said that Scrum helped them improve the frequency and quality of their deliveries, boost testing standards, and raise the overall level of employee satisfaction.

 

The new features in ScrumWorks Pro 4 help the management of enterprise-wide projects with Scrum, Heinen added. “At Qpass, we have multiple teams working on multiple projects. Managing projects of such complexity is hard, but ScrumWorks Pro 4 makes managing a diverse set of teams spread across the globe a reality.”

 

Upon engaging Danube and committing to Scrum, Qpass also expanded the team with Danube's training staff. With the help of Danube, today, Qpass' Scrum transformation has grown to include 135 people on more than a dozen teams across three continents.

 

When Qpass was acquired by Amdocs (News - Alert) in April 2006, Danube helped the company grow throughout larger organization, including more than 1,700 Scrum users within Amdocs' Product Development division. Currently, 215 employees use ScrumWorks Pro to manage their work every day.

 

“ScrumWorks Pro has always been driven by customer feedback and the program management expansions made in this latest release are a result of that,” said Danube CTO Victor Szalvay, in a statement. “Qpass has long been an advocate of Scrum in the enterprise and their valuable feedback led directly to some of the features developed in ScrumWorks Pro 4.”

 

Amdocs Interactive provides integrated platform that enables personalized and profitable online customer experiences, officials said. Amdocs Interactive's portfolio spans commerce, partner collaboration, self-service, and, with the recent acquisition of Changing Worlds, leading personalization and mobile portal solutions. The company also owns an Experience Design and Consulting Center where expert helps are offered.
