TeamForge Integration with Aras Use Case
OpsHub Integration Manager (OIM) integrates TeamForge and Aras bi-directionally. At any point, stakeholders using these systems have complete view into all data. As a result, they can collectively review requirements, exchange comments, and take informed decisions in real-time.
-
01
The product manager creates a “Feature” in Aras. This feature gets synchronized to the TeamForge server as “Feature” so that the development team gets visibility into the feature.
-
02
The development team in TeamForge starts planning for the “Feature” and seeks clarifications through “Comment”. That comment synchronizes to Aras. Finally, the product manager clarifies it through a comment on the feature. Subsequently, that comment synchronizes to the feature in TeamForge.
- Thus, the product manager and the development team collaborate effectively on “Feature” clarification.
-
03
The development team in TeamForge breaks the “Feature” into “User Stories”. The user stories get synchronized to Aras and are linked to its feature.
-
04
The development team starts working on the “User Stories” and marks their status as “In-Progress”. The status of user stories in Aras also changes to “In-Progress” accordingly. As a result, the product manager can track the progress of the user stories and the feature.
-
05
The development team marks the stories’ status as “Completed” in TeamForge once the task is complete. The status of the story in Aras also changes to “Completed”.
-
06
Once all the “User Stories” of a “Feature” is complete, the development team marks the status of the feature as “Completed”. The status of the “Portfolio Item” in Aras also changes to “Completed”.
