To enable enterprises and organizations to generate tangible productivity gains, reduce time-to-market, and stay on time and under budget,  Telerik, a provider of software application lifecycle and content management solutions has made improvement in its agile project management solution, TeamPulse.

According to a press release, this enhancement has been made to improve software team planning and collaboration and adding a variety of new features including backlog management and email notifications. The company has also planned to launch the new “TeamPulse Feedback Portal” system, which will allow its users to engage more deeply with their customers, and an array of new e-learning and training resources.

“We want to ensure teams have the tools they need to make planning and work-item management as intuitive and easy as possible, as well as providing a platform for richer customer interactions,” said Joel Semeniuk, executive vice president, Agile (News - Alert) Project Management Division, Telerik. “The new Backlog Management module, email, tagging, and commenting support allow teams to collaborate on a much deeper level and focus on what is most important. When combined with the new Feedback Portal system we will release in the fall, TeamPulse becomes a powerful, all-encompassing tool for both internal and external stakeholders.”

 The new features are being introduced is Backlog Management. The new module enables teams to see and plan all work items, like User Stories, Bugs, Issues, and Risk, in a single seamless environment. Users can easily prioritize items via drag-and-drop functionality in the Backlog view, simplifying the project planning process. Also being introduced is support for email notifications. It is designed to better automate processes for tracking various project states and progress, team members can now subscribe to any work item and receive email alerts whenever that item is updated.

 The HTML-based portal will offer capturing of user feedback and comments, without requiring those users to first obtain a TeamPulse software license. The TeamPulse Feedback Portal system will offer deeper engagement with key stakeholders by allowing capture of bug reports, comments on existing ideas, and communication of known issues.
