Railsconf 2009 — Las Vegas, Nevada, May 4, 2009 – Agilebuddy, a division of Brightspark, today announced the release of its Connector for Git and GitHub version control systems. For the first time, Rails developers and developers utilizing Git can now manage their entire software development lifecycle from one unified interface.
Agilebuddy is Scrum project management software that enables users to easily create, estimate, plan and track their software development projects online. Agilebuddy provides rich collaboration and document sharing capabilities enabling “virtual co-location” for global software teams accelerating time-to-market, managing changing requirements and enhancing product quality.
“Git is widely accepted as the de facto distributed version control system by the Rails community. Agile software development methodologies go hand in hand with Rails development”, said Jack Milunsky, COO of Brightspark 3.0 Inc. “ It made perfect sense that Agilebuddy would integrate Git version control with its Scrum project management software to meet the needs of the rapidly growing Rails development community.”
Agilebuddy has integrated with Git and GitHub via web hooks providing the following features:
“The Ruby on Rails framework and Agilebuddy have enabled me to develop Web applications many times faster than was possible in the past. “And now with Git integration, I can track my user stories, tasks and bugs against my Git commits directly in Agilebuddy”, said Stan Cheng, Rails developer with iStopOver. “With the Agilebuddy Connector, I remove half of the effort of documenting my code submissions. Any GitHub check in is now automatically updated in Agilebuddy.”
Agilebuddy is built by Rails developers dedicated to Scrum project management practices. Agilebuddy is used to manage its own development and has been since its third week of development. This is a true testament to the power of the Ruby on Rails framework and adherence to the Scrum software development process.
Agilebuddy’s Connectors for Git and GitHub are immediately available for both the Trial and Team editions of Agilebuddy. For detailed product capabilities, see http://www.agilebuddy.com/features-agilebuddy.
