VersionOne is bolstering its platform for conducting agile software development projects, adding capabilities for strategic planning and enterprise teams.

The Summer 2007 release of V1: Agile Enterprise continues to provide for software development projects based on agile practices, which are characterized by short release cycles and accommodations for changing requirements.

Strategic planning capabilities added in the new release allow users to define strategic or project-based goals and ensure that features are delivered within each short iteration, said Robert Holler, VersionOne CEO. A goal, for example, could be to reduce operating expenses by 10 percent.

Team capabilities in the platform enable tracking and reporting on a single development team’s efforts across any number of projects, Holler said. Agile development itself is spreading to larger, more complex organizations, said Holler.

V1: Agile Enterprise is available in hosted or locally installed versions. The hosted version costs $30 per person per month while the local product is priced at $500 per user plus 20 percent added on top of that for support and maintenance.
