Announcing the Latest Releases of Digital.ai Agility and DevOps Solutions

We are pleased to announce Digital.ai Agility 21.1, Digital.ai Release 10.1, and Digital.ai Deploy 10.1, providing new capabilities that increase visibility and improve collaboration through delivery insights across the end-to-end software delivery process.   

As more and more teams and enterprises use agile and DevOps together, it becomes increasingly important that they can easily integrate tools and track progress of work items across the software development and delivery process. Our latest releases of Digital.ai Agility and Digital.ai Release include new features specifically designed to address these needs. We seamlessly connect the data and artifacts at each release stage with their corresponding agile stories and features, providing the Development and Release teams with a single view of the release pipeline, increasing visibility and improving collaboration. We also make it easy to get started with out-of-the-box release progression views that highlight status from your entire toolchain, saving you set up time without the need for additional scripting. These new capabilities represent a step forward towards a connected platform that aligns the value provided to customers with the processes that deliver them. 

 

Of course, this is not the only benefit we are providing with these releases. We have many additional new features and enhancements to help improve efficiency, usability, and performance.
