Enthiosys and GlobalLogic Announce Integration of Innovation Games Online with Velocity at Agile 2009
Leaders in Agile Product Management and Global Software Development Expand Tools for Customer Collaboration and Prioritization
Chicago, IL – August 26th, 2009. Enthiosys, the leading provider of Agile product management strategy and consulting services, and GlobalLogic, the leader in Agile software product development services, announced integration of their software solutions to allow customers to collaborate on product priorities. The companies have built interfaces between GlobalLogic’s Velocity™ platform and Enthiosys’ Innovation Games® platform so that GlobalLogic’s customers can involve stakeholders in collaborative product planning and Enthiosys clients can trace new product features throughout their lifecycle.
“Innovation Games Online extends our world-class Velocity platform, giving our partners even better ways to understand their markets and customer needs” said Peter Harrison, GlobalLogic CEO. “Our clients want to increase their business agility by engaging with customers more intimately to understand requirement, priorities, and use cases.”
The Innovation Games platform currently includes two online collaborative games based on Luke Hohmann’s book “Innovation Games: Creating Breakthrough Products through Collaborative Play.” Buy A Feature brings together groups of users to collectively decide which product features are most valuable. Prune the Product Tree lets participants collaboratively design visual representations of a product’s evolution. These online games provide rich, real-time interactions without the cost or complexity of bringing participants physically together.
“GlobalLogic’s partners include some of the most innovative software companies in the world, and GlobalLogic Velocity is at the leading edge of Agile development platforms supporting distributed teams,” said Luke Hohmann, Enthiosys CEO. “Innovation Games Online delivers valuable customer input in synch with Agile’s rapid iterations and faster time-to-value.”
