VersionOne, recognized by agile practitioners as the leader in agile project management tools, today announced the general availability of its latest release featuring an all-new user interface (UI). Inspired by feedback from customers and partners, VersionOne designed the new UI to accelerate user adoption, improve usability and increase productivity.

VersionOne focused on the user experience for all team members (managers, developers, testers, etc.) making the product more intuitive and accessible. Improved primary navigation provides simplified access to frequently used functions in the application, increases customer awareness of more advanced functionality and delivers fast access to detailed content when necessary.

Key Highlights:

Cleaner, simpler, modern UI

  • Clear, consistent navigation focuses your attention on where you are and what you can do
  • Improved layout delivers common functions intuitively
  • “How to” video guidance at your fingertips throughout the application
  • Simplified views provide faster access to relevant content

Primary menu enhancements accelerate navigation

  • Streamlined menu layout means faster time-to-proficiency for novice users
  • Faster access to projects and filters makes it easier for users to quickly switch between projects

Improvements to team whiteboard views convey more information concisely

  • Improved use of size and color allows team members to get the big picture at a glance
  • Filtering on story cards helps users to drill down and see what’s important to them

The latest release also contains new integrations on VersionOne’s free, openAgile Platform. Included are Git, an open source distributed version control system; Electric Cloud, a market leader in build and release management technology; and support for the latest version of HP Quality Center 11.0.
