BugTracker.net vs. Micro Focus Agile Manager (Discontinued)

It is a great Bug Tracking tool when implemented and set up the correct way initially. If you find yourself in the position of having to go through and re name fields on a project level of having to do an overhaul of the user base you will find some frustrations, these are noted in the last question.

One scenario I believe HP Agile Manager is well suited is for a team of 5 or more developers who are releasing new features or addressing defects. Another scenario where it is beneficial is for teams of QA Automation engineers, where again, the objectives are clear. A scenario where I believe it would be less appropriate is for operations-type teams where objectives are not always clear cut, and the roles must be more reactive.

• Tracking technical issues and assigning for review and completion
• Tracking final status and quality of an application or website

• Agile manager is particularly good for planning out sprints in an Agile methodology
• The Task Board in AGM gives clear swim-lanes to indicate progress/status, or to gauge that of another team member.
• The Dash Board gives visibility to team members capacity and the overall team burn down.

• If you edit a field you have created (Username, status, custom fields) you lose the ability to sort/filter on this field.
• It would be nice to add more custom fields on a project specific level. Currently you can only add 3
• It would be FANTASTIC if you could sort/filter on Project Specific custom fields.

Incentivized

• Removing stories from a Sprint results in them being difficult to find later.
• Editing story details is slightly cumbersome.
• It's somewhat unclear how capacity fills up for stories split from prior sprints.

BugTracker.net works for what we need it to do from a technology standpoint.

I didn't choose the product or evaluate other options, but I've been satisified with it except for tracking content changes.

HP Agile Manager is beefy enough to work for bigger teams. In this way it matches closely to what is offered with Rally. One area it comes up short when compared to Rally is the apparent lack of a test management capability, where requirements can be entered then mapped to test cases. Agile Manager has some of the agile feel offered by Trello and Waffle but the added functionality that makes it more valuable for bigger teams.

Incentivized

• Decreased turn around time for defect fixes.
• Smoother builder deploys
• Clearer communication from QA to Dev Team

Incentivized

• It has allowed us to plan our Sprint work more effectively
• It has made it more clear how to accurately estimate certain problems
• It has given clarity over time as to the skill and work speed of team members
