Tools for software lifecYcle management
Agile prioritises people over tools, and so dao we, but we also use tools to help give people and interactions some extra juice. Practically all of our tools were born from a need we had in our own development process. Xpand IT as an Atlassian partner provide several tools that cover the full SLM (Software Lifecycle Management) Process.
- JIRA + GreenHopper for agile project management
- Confluence for agile collaboration
- FishEye for code analysis
- Bamboo for continuous integration
- Clover for code coverage
- Crucible for code reviews
- Full SLM Solution by Xpand IT

Confluence for agile collaboration
Confluence is designed to help agile developers plan requirements, collaborate on changes and display metrics.
Useful for: Developers (internal blogging with peers), technical writers (develop docs) and product managers (collaborate on requirements and Balsamiq mockups)
Designed for: planning (PRDs and JIRA issues macro), lightning feedback (documenting changes, RSS + Dashboards) and team performance metrics (JIRA Issues macro + Bamboo builds plugin)

FishEye for code analysis
With FishEye's insight into a source code repository agile developers can find code fast, get notified about relevant code changes and receive useful metrics on team performance.
Useful for: Developers (find code fast), Team Leads (metrics on the team and each developer) and Technical Leads (RSS for a branch)
Designed for: lightning feedback and team performance metrics

Bamboo for continuous integration
Agile developers use continuous integration to get the most from their unit tests. Set up Bamboo to get instantaneous feedback on the impact of each commit and monitor build metrics.
Useful for: Developers (learn about their commits), Team Leads (get build stats fast) and Testers (perform integration and performance tests early in the game)
Designed for: Testing early and often (CI Whitepaper), lightning feedback (two way IM) and team performance metrics

Clover for code coverage
The ultimate Java code coverage tool for agile development, Clover accurately assesses the impact on your tests and notifies you of test coverage gaps before it is too late.
Useful for: Developers and testers
Designed for: Testing early and often and lightning feedback

Crucible for code reviews
Crucible's integrates peer code review directly into your work habits. Agile developers use Crucible get timely feedback on their code and maintain metrics and an audit trail.
Useful for: Developer (Distributed review), Team lead (get developers to learn from each other) and Technical lead (Get metrics on audit trail on who did what and why)
Designed for: Testing Early and often (pre-commit reviews), lightning Feedback (review notifications), Performance Metrics (reports and audit trail)

"Software Lifecycle Management is the concept that an Independent software vendor can control how its software is licensed and used throughout its usable lifecycle. Because software is not always a static product, vendors often add additional features and/or updates for security purposes. To help software vendors control the lifecycle, other software is often added on top of the original product and distributed with the software which unknown to the customers." in wikipedia.org
