Abstract:

Effective tools can help teams accelerate delivery, improve quality, deliver on their commitments, and reach new levels of performance. This is especially true for high-maturity Agile software development teams.

Last year, members of the Software Excellence Alliance analyzed currently available project management tools, and surveyed teams and community members to assess their most urgent unmet needs. From this we identified several opportunities to deliver extreme value through targeted tool enhancements.

In 2020, we’ve been hard at work on that roadmap. We’ve completed several exciting new tools and enhancements that include:

New high-maturity tool support for individuals and teams
New integrations with mainstream agile tools
Open source tools that are available free of cost

In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate these new tool capabilities and show how they can help your teams accelerate speed to value. We’ll also share our vision for 2021 and invite you to help us shape the future of high-maturity agile tools.

About the Presenter

After graduating from MIT in 1994, David Tuma began his software career in the United States Air Force, where he was introduced to the high-maturity agile concepts in the Team Software Process℠. Impressed with TSP’s power and flexibility, he created (and continues to evolve) an open-source toolset called the Process Dashboard, which has been used by tens of thousands of developers worldwide.

David leads the SEA Next-Gen Tools Working Group as they seek opportunities to change the world of software engineering through broader adoption of high-maturity agile techniques.

Process Dashboard

Processes & Tools

Abstract:

The Process Dashboard is an open-source project management tool that supports high-maturity agile behaviors for planning, tracking, forecasting, and quality.

It supports individuals and teams of diverse disciplines (including but not limited to software development).

High-maturity behaviors have the potential to revolutionize the world of software development. The open-source Process Dashboard development team seeks to make these behaviors available to all, free of charge.
