Reporting and Analytics
Scrum is unique in its use of empirical data to forecast release dates and ScrumWorks Pro contains extensive reporting and analytics capabilities that are reality-based and Scrum-specific. The tool tracks such metrics as velocity, the rate at which the software is completed; the rate of requirements change; and the rate at which value is added to the product. This data can then be used to generate custom reports and forecasts that are always rooted in reality, not best guesses.

ScrumWorks Pro also integrates with the widely used defect tracking tools for Bugzilla and JIRA, with future integrations planned for best-of-breed requirements management, testing and defect tracking.
