Hansoft 5.3 contains a number of improvements. One of the most
significant is the asset pipeline tool, a feature many developers have been
waiting for.
“We have had in-depth discussions with studios for quite some time on how
to take the heavy manual work out of managing asset pipelines. Many teams are
also experiencing that it’s hard to combine an agile process like scrum with
the linear nature of asset creation. This became a large and very exiting
research project on our side and we are now releasing Hansoft 5.3 where art
pipelines can be created in parallel with sign-off workflows to make asset
creation more lean,” said Hans Andersson, Development Director at Hansoft.
Developers in over 20 countries are using Hansoft for collaborative
scheduling, agile, bug tracking and workload coordination. Hansoft is also
used on multi site projects, to keep close contacts and daily discussions
between teams, even though the geographical distance may be large.
“Every day we get large amounts of great feedback from clients that we
use to continuously make improvements of Hansoft. Some updates are small but
significant for the everyday user experience and some are large. Like the new
report generator. That was originally based on feedback from QA managers that
wanted the reporting in the bug database part of Hansoft to be more
powerful,” said Hans Andersson.
New features in Hansoft 5.3:
— Asset pipeline tool that can manage complex, parallel, and nested
flows of art creation in both agile and scheduling projects.
— Workflows tool to edit and apply a workflow on any kind of item in
Hansoft. Use it for art sign off, quality iterations or user story
testing.
— New report generator. Create and share reports with co-workers using
Hansoft’s visual query builder, new query language and grouping
functionality.
— Updated integration SDK. Access and use pipelines, workflows and
reports in a simple manner in the SDK. This enables advanced
integration with asset management systems as well as making it easier
to integrate Hansoft with external report systems such as executive
dashboards and business intelligence tools.
— Many improvements on the agile and QA feature sets in Hansoft to make
everyday usage of Hansoft even smoother.
— Performance enhancements. Less time to synchronize when you connect to
the Hansoft server. Handling a large number of documents over global
distances is faster.
