Today marks the official launch of Daptiv Scrum, a complete solution for managing work in the Agile Scrum process.  You can see the press release or solution page on Daptiv.com for more detailed information.

With the growing popularity of Agile development approaches, we're excited to offer a solution that works side-by-side with Daptiv PPM or separately (the Scrum management tools are also available without the full portfolio management and collaboration feature sets of Daptiv PPM).  Either way, the Daptiv Scrum solution solves some problems that other Scrum tools have had trouble solving for companies:

 Visibility 

Isolation of Scrum teams from the rest of the business can help the development teams avoid distractions and stay focused.  However, it can lead to a situation we're calling "Scrum Island" in which the business loses visibility into Scrum work.  Companies that are running both Waterfall and Scrum development process run into problems giving shared visibility to both types of work, as they have no central source of truth for capturing information.  Daptiv is perfectly positioned to solve these problems, as this Scrum solution comes with the full power of Daptiv Work Intelligence and its ability to share and visualize data using enterprise-class reporting and dashboard tools.  

 Flexibility

Scrum is a flexible process that can't be put in a box:  there are many flavors of Scrum that preserve the essence of Scrum and adapt it to the needs of a particular organization and development team.  Naturally then, teams shouldn't want inflexible Scrum software tools to run their process, right?   Daptiv Scrum (like Daptiv PPM) is highly configurable and flexible enough to handle any of the flavors of Scrum. 

 Escape from Scrum Island

One of our company mottos at Daptiv (we even had recruiting business cards printed) is "Life's too short not to have fun."  Well, we're having a lot of fun with our launch of Daptiv Scrum.
