codebeamer for Waterfall/V-model product development

In certain industries, V-model is still the standard framework. Use codebeamer to accelerate the cascading stages of delivery, and drive the fast development of quality products in a Waterfall environment. Define and control internal development processes to avoid deviations. Achieve predictability in product development, and make data-based project estimates. Manage risks and monitor performance across the entire cascade of product development.

Gate your processes with logic guards or e-signatures, manage access permissions, and use the Review Hub to handle approvals in a transparent way. Automate process documentation, and integrate parallel hardware and software development streams while maintaining consistent focus on product quality.

Backlog & Release Management

Lots of ideas go into a backlog, but in order to have a high-performing product, you need smart backlog management. Consolidate input from all sources into a central backlog, and use advanced backlog management best practices with codebeamer. Stay on top of releases even if your teams are deploying several times a day. Use the Release Planner to prioritize your backlog collaboratively. Easily manage sets of work items across backlogs, sprints, releases, and projects conveniently with Story Plan.

Organize your backlog to drive the delivery of quality products: plan sprints and releases, and flexibly manage assignments. Monitor and manage resources, team commitment, and performance across releases and development streams. Visualize release data using Gantt charts, burndown charts, and instant release statistics. Track and manage releases in a central platform.

Kanban Board

Use an interactive Kanban board that provides a clear overview of the flow of tasks from start to completion. Guarantee the efficiency of your standup meetings. Visualize and assign work items for engineering, development, deployment, and support. Monitor, measure, and report on tasks by tracking progress continuously. Discover bottlenecks by setting WIP limits. Use simple drag-and-drop to move tasks across the statuses of their defined workflows.

Scrum Support

Implement Scrum any way it delivers value to your organization. Manage the backlog and plan sprints in collaboration with all contributors. Ensure accurate and efficient communication through wikis, comments, triggered notifications, and ChatOps integration. Control permissions with user or team-based access control, and define advanced workflows to support your processes. Integrate QA into your development processes. Gain performance insights with automatically updated reports, monitor commitment, and access real-time workload statistics.
