Inflectra's SpiraTeam Is Having A Moment

July 13, 2020

Inflectra's Application Lifecycle Management platform - SpiraTeam is finally coming to its own! 

SpiraTeam is an integrated solution that helps teams manage requirements, tests, plans, tasks, bugs, and issues in one environment, with end-to-end traceability baked in. The product first hit the proverbial shelves in 2011; it had a few make-overs along the way, and as of July 2020, it is thriving in its version 6.6. 

In our humble opinion, SpiraTeam has been an excellent ALM platform for a while, but it took the world a bit to catch up. And now that it has, it can not get enough of SpiraTeam!

Here is a sampling of the recent SpiraTeam accolades from across the internet:

Blog: Excellence in Reporting In Agile Projects

March 26, 2019

When we focus on reporting, we often fail to recognize value using benefit delivery. Instead, many view reports only as a transactional instrument. Based on my experience in managing the program management office, and being a change agent for a product development framework, I believe the purpose of a report is to tell a story! The story not only should tell what has happened but also give a preview of what may come!
