Plan and monitor your project

Define the scope of your project
Defining scope is an iterative, interactive process for the product owner. As you go through it, you'll find elements of your scope expanding, shrinking or changing shape in response to feedback from analyzing and planning out the work.

Organize your project with planning folders
Create and populate all the planning folders you need to capture the work you are planning.

Manage your sprint with the planning board
The planning board is the hub for your TeamForge project's Agile planning activities. It enables you to plan and monitor the features that are required in each sprint (or iteration) in order to release your product. In the planning board, tracker artifacts are represented as cards and displayed in ranked sequence. You can drag and drop cards to assign them to planning folders or change their rank.

Manage tasks with the Agile task board
The CollabNet Desktop supports an Agile task board for TeamForge.

Manage your release with the Kanban board
In the Kanban board, columns of tracker artifact cards represent different states in your TeamForge project's development cycle. Numerical limits for the number of artifacts or story size in each column constrain the work in progress for each state. This reveals bottlenecks and under-usage areas and helps you address them effectively.

Monitor project output
As a product owner, you can regularly test and measure the features your team produces, involving real users as much as possible.

Monitor project progress
Use a variety of charts to help you monitor the progress of your project.
