CA PPM 14.1 came out in October 2014 with a new name and four new features for business transformation and operational excellence.
- VersionOne Integration
- Microsoft Project Integration
- Studio Content Management
- On-Demand Integration Adapter
CA PPM 14.1 Now Offers VersionOne Integration
Perhaps the most exciting new feature reflects CA Technologies partnership with VersionOne to develop direct integration. The integration combines CA’s world-class project management software with VersionOne’s best of breed agile and lean platform, making it the most powerful enterprise PPM/agile solution on the market.
Benefits of CA PPM 14.1 VersionOne Integration
This is CA’s first integration using agile execution tools. Functionally, projects are set up in CA PPM 14.1, executed in VersionOne, and deployed back to CA PPM 14.1 with tasks and work items, as well as resource development hours.
The CA PPM 14.1 VersionOne integration puts real time data to work with better visibility, increased transparency, improved decision making, and faster delivery on value. In our fast-paced environment, the automated handoff between agile application lifecycle management and portfolio management is a critical step for quickly delivering products and applications.
Manage the Entire Portfolio with CA PPM
With this update, CA PPM 14.1 allows clients to manage their entire portfolio. It gives agile teams flexibility to manage and execute projects and applications with whatever agile methodologies or tools they prefer, adding VersionOne integration to CA agile planning, RALLY integrations, traditional / waterfall programs and projects, and agile hybrid-type projects.
