The new feature, called the Scrum Planning Board, illustrates each task, requirement, defect, and incident in the system as a card. At a glance, these cards show what stage the item is in, who it is assigned to, how much time has been worked and how much time is remaining. The cards can be picked up and moved to subsequent workflow stages as the item progresses, and each “move” can trigger custom e-mail alerts to the project manager or team member, notifying them of status updates.
“Version 10 has completely changed the game for not only software development teams, but also for any business who manages multiple projects,” said Hamid Shojaee, CEO & founder of Axosoft. “The Planning Board presents a powerful way to view and interact with items as they progress through your workflow.”
OnTime, since its first release in 2002, was deliberately designed for software development teams to help them “ship software ontime” through core functions such as bug tracking, feature management, help desk incident tracking and a project wiki. Now, version 10 offers a simplified mode, allowing any type of business to take advantage of those core OnTime features for day-to-day project management. This basic version of the software can be selected when setting up a new OnTime account or installation.
"The new Planning Board in OnTime version 10 continues Axosoft's long tradition of boosting the productivity of its customers through an elegant, beautifully designed product that really gets the job done," said Miljan Braticevic, Co-Founder of ComponentArt and OnTime customer. "The Planning Board has now become our main view into the projects and releases we manage in OnTime. It's perfect for meetings as well."
Additionally, version 10 includes a TortoiseSVN plug-in, allowing teams using the TortoiseSVN Subversion SCM system to have seamless communication between Subversion and OnTime. The new release also features e-mail and worklog enhancements, security enhancements, and automatic-update functionality for the OnTime Windows client.
OnTime is currently used by more than 100,000 software developers (in ISV, consulting and IT organizations) throughout 55 countries, in organizations like Verifone, EA Sports, Disney, the United States Army, Lego, Cox and Intel. The product is offered in a hosted, cloud environment (SaaS) or installed. A one-user license is available for free, and teams may trial the product for 30 days.
