Tasktop Pro Now Fully Integrates Eclipse Mylyn With Latest Release of ScrumWorks Pro

Combination of ScrumWorks Pro's ground-breaking program management and the Mylyn Connector's task-focused interface support every level of the enterprise.

SEATTLE, -- Danube Technologies, Inc., http://www.danube.com), the leader in software and training for the Scrum method of agile software development, and Tasktop(R) Technologies http://tasktop.com), creators of Eclipse(TM) Mylyn and the task-focused interface, today announced the ScrumWorks(R) Pro Mylyn Connector is now fully integrated with the latest, enterprise-ready release of ScrumWorks Pro. For more information on ScrumWorks Pro 4, please visit: http://www.danube.com/scrumworks/pro.

"This integration gives organizations powerful management capabilities that span from a high-level, program-oriented view to personalized, task-focused perspectives for individual employees," said Laszlo Szalvay, co-founder and CEO of Danube Technologies. "When the Mylyn Connector is paired with ScrumWorks Pro 4, everyone from developers to stakeholders can conveniently access a view of work and progress toward completion that is most relevant to their activities."

The connector, available as an extension to Tasktop Pro, allows software developers to access all tasks and stories housed in ScrumWorks Pro from within the Eclipse IDE. With no need to toggle between multiple applications, developers using ScrumWorks for project management will be able to remain focused on a single, all-inclusive IDE. For each ScrumWorks artifact accessed in the IDE, the novel task-focused interface shows only the most relevant source code, reducing information overload when working on large applications and resulting in dramatic and measurable productivity gains.

Additional functionality provided by Tasktop Pro and the ScrumWorks Connector includes:

•Flexible Integration with Desktop Applications. Tasktop Pro integrates popular applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and Gmail, with a developer's task-focused work flow and enables ScrumWorks stories to be created from email threads.
•Convenient Interlinking. By integrating ScrumWorks artifacts with the IDE, the Connector allows users to "bridge" related artifacts. For example, if a user story refers to a portion of code, the developer can create a hyperlink between them for quick recall.
•Time Tracking. Tasktop automatically tracks time spent for each ScrumWorks task, so developers no longer need to remember what they work on; they can simply generate a report. Developers retain full control to adjust the recorded tasks and times as needed to account for meetings.
