What makes TargetProcess unique from traditional products in this space it the fact that it is centred on \u201cagile\u201d approaches to product development.  Agile approaches tend to be iterative approaches, focusing on lots of small product releases as opposed to one major release like those we see with traditional \u201cwaterfall\u201d development methodologies. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I was pleased to see TargetProcess offer direct support for Scrum, eXtreme Programming, releases, iterations, user stories, tasks, bugs and time allocation.  It goes a long way to help us convince folks who are used to the waterfall model and all the frequently unnecessary upfront planning associated with it, that the flexible world of agile can be managed with the bare minimum number of artifacts and without the need for a fixed project plan.  In other words, TargetProcess might help you <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.groups.yahoo.com\/group\/SellingAgile\/\">sell agile<\/a> to those who don&#8217;t believe it works.
