The integration between Mingle project management tool and Google Wave has been demonstrated by ThoughtWorks Studios, a software development startup, at Enterprise 2.0 Conference two days ago. This effort is believed to offer improvement in IT collaboration and software development productivity. According to Gregory D’Alesandre, product manager, Google Wave, the integration proving that Wave is able to enhance productivity by enabling a new level of collaboration between enterprise software developers and the end customers using these services.
“One of the core principles of Agile software development is improved collaboration and efficiency, and the integration of Mingle with Google Wave offers a great example of how enterprise IT can use the technology,” said Chad Wathington, vice president, product development at ThoughtWorks Studios. “Having a rich graphical environment to share and update data as it relates to the entire software development lifecycle certainly aligns with our strategy to offer an adaptive, flexible Agile ALM solution that leapfrogs traditional methods for planning, building and deploying great software faster and with more accuracy.”
Among all of the agile tools available in the market, as far as I know this is the only tool that integrated with Wave. Users can view and interact with Mingle from within Google Wave. The agile development model has taken the world by storm, and I think it has found new way to help its community, thank to Google Wave who make it possible.
