Music Choice's Challenge

Music Choice’s engineering department was using a wide range of different unlinked applications and tools to support their SDLC process:

• Task planning (Pivotal Tracker / Axosoft)
• Documentation creation and setup (Clearspace)
• Defect tracking (Axosoft)
• Project communication and status reporting (Excel, Word, email)
• Project management (None – mix of many of the above)
• Resource management (10000ft., Excel)

Their objective was to consolidate their tools to allow them to plan, collaborate and service in one suite. Atlassian offered an integrated suite of products from document collaboration (wiki) to bug tracking with test case management and Music Choice chose Clearvision to work with.
