SmartBear Software has released DevComplete, a complete project management, requirements management, and defect tracking tool focused on helping development teams organize, manage, and track project tasks and their artifacts throughout an Agile or Waterfall software development lifecycle.

DevComplete increases a team’s visibility, tracks project progress, burn downs, slipping tasks, and variances through an array of sophisticated reports and dashboards. It includes a tool to create project plans and decompose requirements into project tasks and deliverables. Teams can easily track daily project status, organize and track requirements, and link any defects discovered back to the original requirement and project task providing end-to-end traceability

This release also adds enhanced integration with other development tools such as Microsoft Project and Microsoft Team Foundation Server, Atlassian JIRA, IBM Rational Team Concert and DOORS, HP Quality Center, RallyDev, VersionOne, Bugzilla, Perforce, Subversion, and others.

Alongside DevComplete, we are releasing DevPlanner, an on-demand project management tool that is available entirely free for small teams. This provides development teams of up to ten users the ability to create project plans, assign tasks, track progress, and improve resource allocation and agility using a secure SaaS platform that supports enterprise needs.
