BRISBANE, CA, October 08, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- CollabNet , the leader in Agile development in the Cloud, and ResultsPositive, a leader in delivering Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solutions to medium-sized and Fortune 500 companies, today announced a new strategic partnership. Under the partnership, ResultsPositive will resell CollabNet's ScrumWorks Pro, the world's leading Agile project and program management software, custom-integrated with the HP PPM Center PPM software. The offering is the industry's only available integration between HP PPM Center and Agile project and program management software.

Management teams and executives have been searching for a method to bi-directionally integrate their detailed software development schedules, effort expended, and project lifecycle artifacts into their higher-level project and portfolio management strategies. The integration will enable HP PPM Center users to easily pass data concerning new projects or requirements related to managed assets to ScrumWorks Pro. The bi-directional link will also enable HP PPM Center users to track the progress of those projects. ScrumWorks Pro also integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of popular development tools and platforms, including the award-winning CollabNet TeamForge application lifecycle management (ALM) platform.

CollabNet and ResultsPositive will jointly host a free webinar titled "A Marriage Made in Heaven: Agile and Project Portfolio Management," covering the integration and its benefits, on October 27 at 10:00 am PDT. Free registration is available at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/557172374
