AnthillPro Part of AccuRev's AgileCycle

Urbancode, AccuRev, & Rally Team-up to Provide a Best-of-Breed ALM Solution

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 29, 2010 — Urbancode, leader in build and deployment automation, today announced it has partnered with AccuRev and Rally Software to provide a fully-integrated, best-of-breed Agile ALM solution, called AgileCycle. The suite incorporates AccuRev Enterprise, AnthillPro, and Rally Enterprise to deliver a comprehensive Agile solution for scaling and optimizing the Agile software development process.

AgileCycle is a fully-integrated Agile Application Lifecycle Management (Agile ALM) solution offering SCM, Agile Lifecycle Management, and Build & Release Management together. AgileCycle incorporates true best-of-breed tools from AccuRev, Rally Software, and UrbanCode/AnthillPro in order to deliver a comprehensive Agile suite, designed specifically for today’s Agile development teams. With AgileCycle, organizations get the benefit of a fully-integrated suite from a single vendor for deployment, integration, Agile coaching, product training, maintenance and support, along with these best-of-breed tools, without the single-vendor lock-in this typically brings.

"Many development teams today use a collection of Waterfall and Agile tools for Agile product management, software configuration and build," said Lorne Cooper, AccuRev’s president. "Traditional toolsets were not designed for Agile methods and processes, so patching these tools together decreases the benefits that Agile provides and creates barriers between the Agile and not-yet-Agile parts of the organization. AgileCycle’s best-of-breed solutions dramatically improve the efficiency of Agile projects across the development lifecycle, and reduce the barriers between the Agile and not-yet-Agile groups in the organization."
