Agile Workbench

Project stakeholders can use the Agile Workbench tool to capture real-time feedback about your application development project directly in the application. You provide feedback by creating a work item that is either a user story, a bug, or a feedback item. Your feedback can contain videos, annotated screen captures, file attachments, or URLs. Providing such feedback directly in the application helps to improve the efficiency of application development.

Project stakeholders also can view, update, and triage work items. You can sort work items by type, feature, status, and date.

In addition, to help ensure transparency and traceability in your development environment, you can use the Current work feature to associate a user story or bug with development changes to rules. The user story or bug that you specify becomes the default Work item to associate setting when you create a rule, check in a rule, or save a rule as a new rule.

In Designer Studio, you can configure Agile Workbench to integrate with Pega Agile Studio so that bugs and stories are synchronized between the two systems. On the PDN, Pega Exchange provides components that you can download and install to support integration with other project management tools, such as JIRA and CA Agile Central.

If you use built-in access groups, a project stakeholder must be an administrator, author, or manager (with the access role PegaRULES:AgileWorkbench and the privilege pxAgileWorkbench ) to use Agile Workbench.
