    Scenarios where it works well: 1) Retros can be very well facilitated & notes/action items
    can be captured against the sprint. 2) Product Owner can effectively track the story
    progress with all the test-cases, design etc. 3) Being good scaling support, it provides good visibility
    across multiple teams, programs and agile portfolios, providing a centralized
    environment where all our stakeholders can easily work together regardless of location. 4) It provides easy tracking all of your epics,
    stories, themes, defects, tasks, tests and issues 5) I like its intuitive UI as for moving stories
    around, burning hours. 6) It allows top leadership to visualize
    and report their strategic plans, giving all stakeholders the relevant data
    that they need to stay dedicated to the project priorities. 7) It can be easily integrated with slack
    so for few teams we used slack for collaboration Scenarios where it did not work well: 1) Test Management need improvement in
    terms of tracking tests, team had hard time tracking regression test cases. 2) Version one comes with lot of features like
    Rally but here we don’t get customizations which is there in Jira where from workflow
    to issue everything can be customized based on your team/program/portfolio
    requirements. 3) Lot of navigation to access basic
    stuff. Example I want to go to bug attachment , there are lt of clicks &
    navigation need to do which should be pretty straightforward I feel.

    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.

    • 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.

    Cons
    Digital.ai (formerly XebiaLabs, CollabNet VersionOne, and Arxan)
    • Although Digital.ai Agility supports customizations, they can be somewhat cumbersome to set up and maintain
    • The Analytics engine's user experience for digging into the data does not have the same feel as the rest of the system and, as a result, can be hard to work with

    • 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.

    VersionOne provides outstanding training. They have Product Owner training that I recommend every Product Owner attend. They have scrum master training and other agile training that was well worth the money paid because it made the teams more productive. And the support for the tool is incredible. These people live and breathe Agile and are evangelists and enthusiasts.

    JIRA appears to be more extensible with the ability for Scrum, Kanban, bug/incident tracking, and the ability to customize dashboards. However, VersionOne's performance over the same teams is extremely fast in comparison and therefore allows users to be more productive over the same amount of time.

    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.

    • Our organization is quickly growing, and V1 has made it easier for new hires to look at everything that our team has in the works.
