About Us

IS Untangle was created out of necessity after IT manager, David Mansilla, was unable to find a software solution that met all of his needs in order to manage his IT team.

It combines essential modules developed specifically to simplify managing your team and projects. Modules are centralized around the Task Manager while having every other module linked to each other.

Project ManagerThe Project Portfolio Manager is where you begin. You must create a project

portfolio before any tasks can be opened. This module keeps track of all projects that are running. The status of the project is shown and reported to management so they are able to see what stage a project is in at any given time.

You are able to view project details, name, code, client, author, and departments. You are able to group the columns for ease of analysis. There is a link to the Applications module where it automatically will link tasks. It also shows the estimated time to complete as well as the required completion date. There are always several tasks being worked on by several people. In order for better delivery you are able to divide projects into sprints, which allow for better organization and therefore better delivery of your project.

Once you have a project created with multiple tasks assigned, you are able to go back and check task and project reports in the Dashboard Analytics module called Analysis. This will show you detailed charts to better visualize project and task status.

Task Manager The Task Manager module is the center of IS Untangle. This allows for control over the project by controlling the tasks. In this module, tasks are created and assigned to a project as well as developers. There are many fields in order to increase efficiency and display everything in a formalized way.

There are endless text fields to add comments and better communication between team

members.

Task documents is a module within the Task Manager which is very useful. The document management system keeps multiple versions of specific documents which facilitates sharing among team members at the task level. The Task List is a powerful reporting tool. There are multiple columns that can be customized to be viewed as you wish and then saved as an individual view. Reports can be exported to an excel spreadsheet for further analysis making this module a powerful reporting and analysis system.

Summary Reports Manager

This module allows project managers to create reports to present to clients. Once the report is created each user should fill in their own report with the tasks they have completed. When the report is ready the user marks the report as complete and an email will be sent to the Project Manager in order to add user reports to the final report. The process should be repeated for every user involved. The reports editor is a small text editor where the user can change text color, font sizes, add bullets, numbering, etc. The final report can be exported as pdf or rtf formats.

Software Quality Assurance

The SQA module allows SQA analysts to take a large number of tasks that are ready for testing and create a testing plan. It is set up in a Wizard that allows three options including: create a new plan, add tasks to an existing plan, or execute an existing plan.

It allows for a single find and moves it into a detailed list showing pass or fail. When something is recorded as fail the task is re opened where comments can be added.

The SQA analyst needs to work quickly when looking at all the tickets that are open. An email notification is sent to all people involved when changes are made. You are also able to export the list to an Excel spreadsheet for simple analysis. You can also modify the description, add comments, see who created it, and the date. This allows for a very fast way to test new versions.

Applications ManagerThe number of applications, modules and versions used to compose a project is very

large. It is easy to get confused by the different releases and what modules are used to do what.

IS Untangle keeps an inventory of all the applications and modules being developed by your organization or IT Department as well as the applications being used and supported.

To document and make inventories more efficiently, IS Untangle lets you specify:

• Module name • Status • Last reserved by • Last modified • Created by

Components Software Manager

The components that provide you with your favourite IDE are not always enough to meet your needs. Many programmers, when working on large projects, rely on third party components to facilitate the creation of solutions.

The components software module lets you keep an inventory of all the components you use and what programs they are related to. It also keeps track of any third party applications used by your development team.

This module allows developers to create a comprehensive list of reusable component and controls that will save time and improve application consistency.
