AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AgileCraft, the leading provider of software to enable agility in the enterprise, has been named as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Research, Inc. September 2017 report, The Forrester Wave™: Strategic Portfolio Management Tools, Q3 2017. The report evaluated 13 vendors based on 27 criteria, including current offering, strategy and market presence.
In Forrester’s evaluation, AgileCraft was ranked highest of all participating vendors in the strategy category. The strategy category included product strategy, corporate strategy, partner ecosystem, go-to-market strategy and entry price.
“We are proud to be included in this independent research and see our top ranking in the strategy category as validation of our modern approach that leverages lean startup principals to maximize portfolio outcomes,” said Steve Elliott, CEO of AgileCraft.
According to the report, “The vendor (AgileCraft) supports both top-down strategic product planning and delivery capabilities, providing straightforward budgeting and capacity planning in a highly usable UI. In addition, AgileCraft supports the ability to manage traditional investment workstreams concurrently with Agile release trains.”
The Forrester Wave is Forrester's evaluation of vendors in a software, hardware, or services market, written for the role professionals they serve. In the Forrester Wave reports and spreadsheets, they expose both the criteria that they use to grade the vendor offerings and how Forrester scores and weights those criteria. Clients are encouraged to modify the weightings in the spreadsheet to create custom vendor shortlists that best meet their specific needs. Forrester Wave evaluations are driven by the analysis of data collected from the marketplace and the experience of their analysts.
In June of this year, AgileCraft released AgileCraft 10X, the only platform purpose-built for SAFe® and other scaled agile frameworks. 10X enables enterprises to accelerate their agile transformation and strengthen collaboration between product, portfolio and development teams. The result is fully aligned agile organizations with faster delivery cycles, increased ability to respond to changing market conditions, and higher levels of customer satisfaction.
