Steria to adopt Compuware Changepoint

Steria, a European IT service company, has chosen Compuware's Changepoint to provide a core management system for its project and service portfolios worldwide, states TTKN News.

When the ongoing roll-out is completed, 12 000 users (Steria teams, partners and clients) in 16 countries will use the solution to manage programs and identify and anticipate risks through proactive management of schedules, resources and change management.

Steria says it chose Compuware for the maturity of its Changepoint solution and for the expert assistance provided by Compuware consultants throughout the roll-out.

CollabNet is releasing ScrumWorks Pro 4.4, a project and program management product that is integrated with the company's TeamForge ALM (application life cycle management) platform, says Network World.

This was achieved by linking application lifecycle and project management disciplines. The combination provides an end-to-end agile ALM platform for distributed software development, CollabNet says.

Scrum is a method of agile development that leverages iterative, incremental development as opposed to development done in traditional, pre-planned phases, says Victor Szalvay, CTO of the CollabNet ScrumWorks business unit.
