Users Spend Less Time Managing Work and More
Time Doing Work That Matters
CA WORLD ’16 — CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) unveiled the latest
release of CA Agile Central, a leading SaaS platform purpose-built
to scale agile practices. New features added to the solution enable
teams to execute on strategy faster, accelerating agility across
the enterprise to lessen the time to customer value.
Research shows that adoption of advanced agile practices
(scaling agile or transforming the whole organization) drives
better results, including a 33 percent increase in business impact
in areas like agility, growth, customer focus and operational
efficiency*. Designed to coordinate work across multiple teams and
programs for advanced agile practices, CA Agile Central now
features new capabilities that empower users to quickly access the
information most relevant to their day to day work, while
maintaining the core ability to view and align with the
organization’s broader strategy. Announced today, Personal
Navigation and Quick Detail put the power of the platform in the
hands of each user to speed the adoption and use of Agile in the
enterprise.
“The key to success in a scaled agile environment is empowered
employees. CA offers the tools they need to work quickly and
efficiently, while knowing that their work is aligned with overall
business strategy,” said Angela Tucci, general manager, Agile
Management, CA Technologies. “Too often, companies are forced to
choose between an enterprise-ready Agile platform or lightweight
tools that focus on team-level functionality. Now companies don’t
have to give up power for ease-of-use. With CA Agile Central, they
can have both.”
CA Agile Central provides a hub for teams to collaboratively
plan, prioritize and track work in a synchronized cadence. Personal
Navigation shortens the path between the user and work to be
completed by making the most frequently accessed pages easy to find
and use—moving rarely used pages to the background. Creating even
more efficiency in how users access and use the most important
information that supports their work, the new Quick Detail feature
lets users update all relevant details of work items in context
without leaving the page they are working on. They can customize
which fields matter most to them and their team for easy
access.
“Whether it’s pulling up details during our weekly
prioritization meeting or managing day-to-day work, Personal
Navigation and Quick Details make it easier for our teams to access
and view the most important information to the task-at-hand,” said
Jen Provance, Release Train Engineer, Geospatial Cloud Services,
DigitalGlobe. “I host a number of meetings across my release train,
as well as with key stakeholders. It has been helpful to be able to
simply click on the item we’re discussing, and see the subset of
information without leaving the context of the page. More often
than not, I’m able to answer questions just from the Quick Detail
view.”
Additional new features in CA Agile Central include:
- Advanced Filtering and Saved
Views: Easily find exactly what’s needed with quick filters and
powerful advanced filters. Users can also save and share filters
for easy access later.
- Webhooks: Build lightweight
integrations to be triggered when data changes in CA Agile Central.
Users get data in real time as it changes, like an automated
instant update, to keep projects across teams on track.
- Subscription App Catalog:
Redefining customization in CA Agile Central, users can add custom
apps to gain business insight reporting and workflow
automation.
CA Agile Central gives companies the ability to sense, react and
adapt to market shifts and operational needs, resulting in an
agility advantage over their competitors. For more on all of the

Room.
