SpiraTeam v3.1 Released That Provides Global Test Management and Enhanced Scrum Planning

Silver Spring, MD, June 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The new 3.1 version of SpiraTeam has many efficiency and usability enhancements as well as allowing customers to run the application in English, French, German, Spanish or Czech. With the worldwide adoption of SpiraTest, SpiraPlan and SpiraTeam, the ability for customers to be able to use the system in their native language is an important milestone.

Support for multiple languages:
Language packs for French, German, Spanish and Czech languages

Agile/Scrum Planning Board that allows easier Backlog and Sprint planning
