get more done, increase project visibility
the connector enables versionone development teams to take advantage of
tasktop’s task-focused interface technology. this benefits developers
in two key ways:
![]() |
spend less time checking and updating versionone. by integrating versionone with the eclipse ide, the connector eliminates the need to constantly toggle between the development environment, change notifications arriving via email, and the versionone web client. with tasktop, all collaboration around versionone artifacts happens within the development environment, reducing the friction of updating versionone, and providing increased project status visibility. | |

multitask and recover from interruptions with one click. tasktop reorganizes the development environment around versionone stories and defects and automatically tracks the source code for each artifact. when returning to work on a story or defect, a single click restores the previous state of the workspace including open editors and shows only the relevant source code. this task-focused interface technology makes it much easier to multitask and recover from interruptions, resulting in measurable productivity gains. |

track time the easy way
thanks to the task-focused interface, developers using tasktop already
indicate which task they’re working on to focus the interface on only
the most relevant source code. this makes it possible to automatically
track time spent on each story or defect and tasktop provides
facilities to adjust times as needed and upload the information
directly to versionone. this reduces the time tracking burden on
developers while improving project visibility with time tracking data
that is based on actuals.

going agile? adopt versionone alongside existing systems
most organizations have one or more legacy systems for tracking bugs,
feature requests, or managing software development processes.
frequently, these systems can’t simply be replaced with agile project
management systems because they contain valuable historical information
and have been customized to enforce a particular workflow. tasktop
eases agile adoption in these environments by leveraging the ecosystem
of 45 interoperable connectors to access multiple systems from the same
interface. furthermore, stories and defects in versionone can be linked
to dependent artifacts in other systems, making it easy to navigate
between related items across different systems.
get desktop access for product owners
in addition to the eclipse ide plugin, the versionone connector is also
included in the tasktop pro desktop application that provides instant
and offline access to versionone stories and defects. tasktop pro also
provides productivity features such as integration with outlook and
google calendars, and the ability to automatically track web pages and
documents related to a particular story or defect in versionone.
download it
