VersionOne is a privately held provider of agile lifecycle management (ALM) software and consulting services.

History

[edit]

Founded in 2002 by Robert Holler and Rajiv Delwadia, VersionOne helped pioneer the enterprise Agile Project and Lifecycle Management market.[1]. The company is headquartered in Alpharetta, GA with a smaller location in Midtown Atlanta, GA and employs 150 people. VersionOne is backed by OpenView Venture Partners, a Boston-based investment firm with $446M in assets and 45 investments from 30 companies[2], of which $6.5M[3] in growth capital was invested in VersionOne in 2007.

Agile software development

[edit]

VersionOne supports the global movement[4] to extend the utility of agile software development methodologies to improve organizations’ product delivery processes. This movement was put into motion by the Agile Manifesto, a declaration of values[5] penned in 2001 by 17 software developers – Kent Beck, Mike Beedle, Arie van Bennekum, Alistair Cockburn, Ward Cunningham, Martin Fowler, James Grenning, Jim Highsmith, Andrew Hunt, Ron Jeffries, Jon Kern, Brian Marick, Robert C. Martin, Steve Mellor, Ken Schwaber, Jeff Sutherland of Scrum Inc., and Dave Thomas. This creed defined the approach now known as agile software development[6].

Products and services

[edit]

VersionOne provides agile software development teams with hosted or installed agile project management and collaboration software to plan, track, manage and report on work in the development cycle. The product encompasses requirements management, software architecture, computer programming, software testing, software maintenance, change management, continuous integration, agile project management, and release management. In addition, the company provides product training, agile training, consulting and technical services through its full-time coaching staff and global network of partners.

Agile ALM products like VersionOne seek[7] to make software delivery easier by providing a centralized platform that integrates governance, development and operations. These products evolve[8] agile software development processes by consolidating the way software development tools work together in the application lifecycle management process. SD Times magazine notes[8] that rather than having independent tool sets, developers and organizations are moving toward integrated tooling to manage software project, product and portfolios concurrently. Where once testing had a definitive role at the end of the lifecycle, or requirements took up a large part of the lifecycle, the aspects of the lifecycle are now linked together. According to Forrester analyst Kurt Bittner, this evolution ensures that value is not only being delivered to customers, but that there’s a feedback cycle to report back to the business that agile software delivery actually does what it claimed it would do.[8]

Customers

[edit]

VersionOne has been deployed to approximately 111,000 users in 170 countries and more than 35 of the Fortune 100 companies[9]. The company's key business markets include large financial services and high-tech companies using agile software development and scrum practices.

Research

[edit]

Third-party research on VersionOne’s product and services was conducted by Techvalidate with 355 VersionOne customers between 2013 and 2014[10]. This data can be found here.

Community

[edit]

VersionOne sponsors the annual State of Agile research report, which surveys thousands[11] people working in the software development industry on their experiences, practices and opinions around agile management methodologies such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban and Lean. The data covers agile trends and general practices, and has been published every year since 2006. Analysis is done by a third party, Analysis.Net, and reports are open to the public at StateofAgile.com. The report has been frequently cited[12] in industry media including Software Development Times[13], InfoQ[14], Dr. Dobb’s[15] and others.

VersionOne is also the sponsor of AgileLIVE, a series of 4-6 educational[16] webinars hosted annually with approximately 7,500 attendees around the global development community. The format of AgileLIVE is a panel of agile consultants such as David Hussman who facilitate learning around topics centered on the implementation and spread of agile within an organization, agile leadership, success[17] metrics and continuous improvement for software delivery teams.

On May 7, 2013 VersionOne founded[18] CoderDojo Ponce Springs, a chapter of the global CoderDojo non-profit network of free computer programming clubs for youth Ages 7 to 17. Sessions are located downtown Atlanta at 620 Glen Iris Drive and are open to all metro Atlanta community youth and their parents or guardians. The international Coder Dojo movement began in Ireland in 2011 and has spread rapidly around the world[19].
