Scrum.org
Scrum.org is once again sponsoring the Agile conference. This year their focus is on Evidence Based Management. They are working to help answer the question, "Is what you're doing working?" They do this through looking at your organizations ability to deliver value, sustain value, time to market, and your ability to innovate.
AgileCraft
AgileCraft was built from the top down to support enterprise agile at scale. AgileCraft works at four layers: enterprise, portfolio, program, and team. Designed for flexibility, AgileCraft allows you to integrate tools you already use where appropriate so that it is not an all or nothing approach. This allows companies that are comfortable with existing team based tools to continue to use those, while still taking advantage of AgileCraft's enterprise and porfolio features.
Eliassen
Eliassen are passionate supporters of the Agile community. They are a consultancy that provides Agile training and coaching with a focus on the business aspects as well as scaling and enterprise agility. Through their Business Value Analytics they are able to help executives understand the value of agile in their specific organization.
Tricentis
Tricentis specializes in enterprise test automation. Unlike most test automation tools, Tricentis uses a model based approach instead of relying on scripts. Their heavy weight testing tool, Tosca Commander, was developed by testers, for testers.
Tasktop
Central to adopting Agile practices is the notion of enhanced collaboration among team members. It’s ironic then, that the tools that teams have deployed to help manage their work have actually served to create information silos around their users, simply because they don’t interoperate. This becomes even more problematic when organizations are looking to scale their Agile practices. These organizations not only need to have their teams collaborate, but they also need to find a way to support traditional needs of governance, traceability and visibility - across teams – without losing the ability to use Agile practices.
Tasktop Sync provides enterprise-scale integration among the tools used by software delivery teams, providing members of the team the ability to collaborate on shared artifacts from within their tool of choice.
Because Sync supports the most popular Agile planning tools, as well as the mostly widely used enterprise DevOps tools, we can help teams scale their Agile practices.
