- 3. ResultsPositive - Make a Difference Today Our purpose is to make a difference with our customers, business partners, and employees daily by enabling them to reach and exceed their goals and objectives
- 4. Founded in 2004, we are a platinum HP partner focused on improving business execution. We offer RapidStart implementation services for HP Quality Center, ALM, Performance Center, UFT, PPM, and Agile Manager. We are recognized by the world’s largest technology company as a leader in delivering better business results for our customers.
- 5. Adapter Overview PPM Center integrates with HP Agile Manager via the Integration Plug-In made available on HPLN: • Visibility into real-time status and progress of agile development projects from within PPM Center, without having to login to HP Agile Manager for details. • A consolidated view of your tasks and agile development initiatives Additional features of the Plug-In, include: • Allows Project Managers to map a task under a project to a specific released managed in HP AgM • Each PPM Center task is associated with a single release in HP AgM throughout the task life • Project Managers and PMO Directors are able to view real-time agile development related charts for a release retrieved from HP Agile Manager. • Project Managers can also view an overall release hierarchy on a specific work package within PPM Center Project Managers can Monitor Real-Time Agile Charts within PPM
- 6. Timesheet Integration Overview • Enables end users to import agile effort from AgM into their PPM Center timesheets • Eliminates need to duplicate effort into multiple systems • Data feeds from HPE Agile Manager to PPM Center • One timesheet can be mapped to multiple sprints (releases) in Agile Manager Via REST APIs, PPM and Agile Manager Communicate in Real-Time to Track Total Effort
- 7. How Does It Work? Get • End user clicks “Add External Data” on their timesheet from PPM ands selects HP Agile Manager from the “Select an External System” drop-down list. • PPM calls the HPE Agile Manager REST APIs (see Technical REST API sequence execution) Compute • The adapter adds together values from the Invested (h) fields for all returned tasks for each of the releases • The adapter then imports the total effort of a release as an entry and divides the total effort by the available working days in the current timesheet period. Import • The adapter then fills the average value to each of the working days in the timeline • See Technical REST APIs in the Appendix for more information on the sequence of “Get” calls to AgM
- 8. REST API Get Sequence • Get release list for a specific project from HP Agile Manager • Get sprint list from available releases, where the sprints shall fall into the user’s current timesheet period • Get backlog list for qualified sprints – Sprint start date is the same as or later than the time sheet period start date – Sprint end date is the same as or earlier than the time sheet period end date – If the time sheet period contains unqualified sprints, the effort in these unqualified sprints will not be retrieved by the plug-in. Users will get a warning message when the release contains unqualified sprints. • Get task list by assign-to value and status value, where assign-to value is the HP Agile Manager user email address, and the status value is Completed. • Then the Agile Manager Integration Plug-in for PPM: – Adds together value for the Invested (h) field for all returned tasks for each of the releases – Imports the total effort of a release as an entry – Divides the total effort by available working days in the current timesheet period, and – Fills the average effort value to each of the working days in the time line Source: PPM Center v9.31 Release Notes (published by HPE)
