Hansoft 7– takes development Seriously Social
Uppsala, Sweden, November 27, 2012– Hansoft, the leading vendor of agile and lean development tools, has with the launch of Hansoft 7 added a Seriously Social dimension to game development.
“Hansoft 7 is our largest release ever and takes social development to a new level. For example, a whole lot of goodies for team members have been added, like the new, super-sleek todo-list, a live newsfeed to keep everyone in the loop and a chat where you can paste, edit and view images in the comments stream directly. But I also want to point out the performance enhancements we have made, like higher frame rate and up to 50% less CPU, making Hansoft faster than ever, yet less resource demanding. The rollout of Hansoft 7 has been a success, and we have noticed how team members who previously not used Hansoft that actively is now much more involved. All the positive response has convinced us we are moving in the right direction", said Hans Andersson, Chief Development Officer at Hansoft.
Hansoft is known by leading developers around the world for its flexibility, speed and ease of use. Hansoft 7 has been given a true facelift with new scrum and kanban boards, floating panels that can be arranged, improved scaling for better collaboration around the screen during stand-ups and in conference rooms, and much more.
