“The Forrester Wave(tm): Agile Development Management Tools, Q2 2010,” Forrester Research, Inc., May, 2010

MKS Named a Leader in Forrester’s Analysis of Agile Development Management Tools

Forrester Research, Inc. has assessed the state of the Agile development management (ADM) tools market, reviewing ALM vendors and Agile project management tools against 152 criteria. MKS achieved the highest scores from Forrester in the ‘Process Configuration’, ‘Security’ and ‘Running a Project’ subcategories of the analysis and received the second highest score for its current offering (scoring 3.92 out of 5.00, just 0.01 points behind the highest-rated offering).

This comes as no surprise to MKS customers making use of our Agile solutions, and Forrester’s research points to the continuing increases in Agile adoption as a driving force behind the need to expand the reach and support for Agile methods within ALM.

Particularly for our enterprise customers that must comply with regulation and governance while adopting more Agile methods, the report states that the MKS offering is “…very attractive for industries where compliance and audit are high priorities for developers.” The report continues, noting that, “MKS [offers] an Agile, Scrum-like template out of the box, which, coupled with the very flexible and extendable workflow model, would provide strong support for organizations that follow a “Scrum, but . . .” or hybrid Agile approach.”

MKS is pleased to offer you a complimentary copy of this independent research.
