Automated Software Tools

Software applications that automate scheduling, capture project data, and distribute information to stakeholders.

Key Points

  • Automate planning and scheduling activities such as sprint calendars, releases, and resource allocation.
  • Collect and aggregate data from work items, commits, tests, and time logs without manual effort.
  • Distribute information via dashboards, alerts, and scheduled reports to keep stakeholders informed.
