Agile Projects portlets

PPM provides the following out-of-the-box Agile Projects portlets to display the agile data:

  • Agile Projects - Defects by Feature & Status. Lists defects per feature in a specified release to help you analyze feature quality.

  • Agile Projects - Features. Lists features in a specified release.
  • Agile Projects - User Story List. Lists user stories in a specified release.

These portlets are especially useful when you want to collectively view the data of an specific agile entity in a specific release.
