Last week VersionOne and CA Technologies announced that they have integrated their Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) and Agile Project Management (APM) products to provide an enterprise solution which the two organisations say gives users the ability to have a strategic view of a complete portfolio at the executive level no matter what methodology teams might use.
Both companies claim that this will give a much deeper level of insight to executives and their teams because CA’s PPM top-down portfolio scenario planning, financial management and resource management capabilities can now also draw from and utilise VersionOne’s high level feature planning, project definition and work item management abilities, so that agile projects can be considered and managed alongside other non-agile portfolio initiatives much more easily.
