BacklogsCreate backlogs at every level.

Unlike other agile tools, the CA Agile

Central platform enables roll-ups without the need

for custom reports, work items or plug-ins.

Making informed decisions is tough if you don’t have visibility into the planned initiatives.

CA Agile Central’s project and portfolio hierarchy lets you create, align and see plans and backlogs for a single team, a delivery group (teams of teams) and multiple groups across your portfolio.


Portfolio Items HierarchyAlign development to business priorities.

Only CA Agile Central helps you properly organize

work items so you always have a complete,

accurate view of your work.

Know your teams are working on the most important things.

See how user stories roll up and align to features and initiatives, and see real-time progress on your most important business priorities.


TimeboxesDevelop on cadence.

Deliver working software, on time.

In CA Agile Central, it's easy to set up your iterations, releases and delivery groups so you can release on cadence.


MilestonesDeliver on demand.

CA Agile Central is the only platform that lets you

plan to both development releases and important

business milestones.

You can’t reap the benefits of what your teams are building until you deliver it to your end users.

Milestones help you plan and track feature work against critical delivery dates.

PlanPortfolio Kanban, Feature Backlog, Release Planning, Team Planning and Performance Metrics

Deliver maximum value through collaborative, real-time release planning.

Portfolio Kanban

CA Agile Central is unique in that it lets you

configure your Portfolio Kanban view to support

decision-making needs at every level.

What you build next will impact your bottom line.

The CA Agile Central Portfolio Kanban helps you see work in process and bottlenecks, while prioritizing the flow of work from business analysis through implementation.

Flow value to customers.


Feature Backlog

Sometimes what you’re planning to build isn’t what your customers want.

CA Agile Central helps product managers factor in customer value, market risk and scope of work.

Build the right things.


Release Planning

Bring your demand (top initiatives and features) and your capacity (delivery groups or teams) together to optimize what you can deliver.

See how the prioritized features in each release deliver on your vision.

Plan realistic releases.


Team Planning

Gain needed visibility into prioritized features and take the guesswork out of planning.

Break down features into stories and plan them into iterations. Identify dependencies and mitigate risks to produce an actionable release plan that delivers optimum value with low risk—one everyone can commit to.

Create a better plan.


Performance Metrics

Understand past performance so you can reliably predict future performance.

See each team’s progress over time to determine velocity (and capacity) for future iterations and releases.

Predict future velocity.

TrackRelease Tracking, Portfolio Timeline, Release Metrics, Iteration Status, Team Kanban and Team Board

Track development progress in real time to adapt to meet business goals.





Release Tracking

How can you resolve bottlenecks if you can’t spot them?

In CA Agile Central, program managers can see progress at a glance, identify and drill into problem areas and guide efforts to successfully complete the work.

Drill into bottlenecks, steer to completion.


Portfolio Timeline

Don’t speak in user stories when you need to get the attention of business leaders.

Help them better understand progress and guide scope with a timeline view that shows actual progress against planned dates and upcoming business milestones.

Keep business stakeholders in the loop.


Release Metrics

Manual information gathering isn’t quick or accurate.

Track high-level progress in real time against delivery objectives using milestones and release and portfolio item views.

Track progress of key delivery objectives.


Iteration Status

Don’t let teams lose sight of their objectives.

Our Iteration Status page empowers teams to manage their work with a comprehensive view of critical, real-time information about their plans and progress.

Steer at the iteration level.


Team Kanban

Unlike other tools that fake it by providing a board

view on top of timeboxed scrum iterations, the CA

Agile Central Team Kanban board supports true,

continuous flow.

What’s the best way for a team using Kanban to decide what to pull next?

Do flow-based planning and tracking with swimlanes that organize and prioritize work. CA Agile Central seamlessly supports roll-up reporting across teams with mixed methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.

Flow work through teams.


Team Board

Unlike other tools that “check the box” on supporting

work from all teams, Team Board allows for flexibility

of process at the team level, while ensuring visibility

and alignment at the enterprise level.

What if your teams need to get started quickly and provide visibility at the enterprise level?

Owned by the team, Team Board makes it easier for teams to get started—without admin assistance. A core element of Agile Central, Team Board allows organizations at scale to see data from all their teams, not just Scrum teams.

Flow work through all teams.


Work Views

Work Views allows for flexible visibility of work

across multiple teams; ensuring better alignment at

the enterprise level.

What if you could manage work of all types for one or many teams on one page?

Built for teams, product managers and product owners to find work faster and easier; work with backlogs across multiple teams; see and save a single view of all work, within one or multiple teams..

Access work across multiple teams.

NavigateCA Agile Central is simple and fast for teams to use, yet scales to meet the needs of any size organization using any methodology.





Personalized Navigation

What if you could make CA Agile Central yours?

Shorten the path between you and the task you’re trying to complete by making your most-used views easy to find and use, while moving rarely used views to the background.

Find your work quickly and easily.


Quick Detail

What if you could edit your work without leaving the page?

Details of work items show in a slide-out panel, in context with the page you’re on. And, you can personalize which fields you show on the editors.

Edit details in context.
