JetBrains YouTrack 4 - No More Excuses Not to Be Agile

PRAGUE, June 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The intelligent bug and issue tracker introduces Agile project management to
facilitate your team's work flow across the board: absolutely free for early adopters

    JetBrains(R), the creators of IntelliJ IDEA, ReSharper, TeamCity and other
intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools for software developers, today announced the
availability of a new major release of YouTrack, their innovative issue tracking and agile
project management system.

    YouTrack has gained widespread popularity thanks to its keyboard-oriented approach,
powerful search queries and command syntax, and fully customizable workflows and issue
attributes.

    YouTrack 4.0 introduces a completely new, independent Agile project management module.
Now Scrum teams can plan and manage their work during a series of consecutive sprints,
while teams that follow Kanban process can manage and measure their work flow on the
board. Agile project management in YouTrack is flexible enough to adapt to mature Scrum or
Kanban workflows, as well as to introduce new teams to these Agile processes. In fact, all
teams can get the best of both worlds, by blending their favorite practices from either
process.

    "YouTrack doesn't impose any specific Agile process on you, but helps you follow the
core methodology guidelines and adapt them to your workflow," said Vadim Gurov, YouTrack
Team Lead. "If you're new to Agile, you can organize and visualize your process and get
introduced to the main principles of each process. If you're an expert, you can easily
adapt YouTrack to your workflow and mix-and-match the best practices of each process."

    Key Agile features of new YouTrack 4.0 include:

   
    - Scrum/Kanban boards
    - Backlog management
    - Burndown and Cumulative Flow charts
    - Multiple projects on one board

    Other great features in YouTrack 4.0 include:

   
    - Custom notification templates
    - Custom reordering of issues
    - Subtasks support
    - SSL keys management
    - Workflow compliance
    - Global and Personal Context
