The new project page capabilities in CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 allow teams to model and report on the different phases of the ALM process with nested pages and dynamic portlet-like components. Enhanced project templating functionality allows teams to standardize development processes by capturing and re-using both the structure and the content of existing projects, from project pages and discussion forums to custom issue tracker fields, saved searches, and workflow definitions. By standardizing tooling and lifecycle processes, project templates can help ensure a consistent experience across teams, reducing the learning curve for new members, improving efficiency, and maximizing organizational flexibility. To ensure that teams of all sizes can benefit from these capabilities, CollabNet announced reduced entry-level pricing for the product. Priced at $4,995 per year, teams can purchase a server license with basic support for the first 25 users. Unlike other vendors whose lower priced offerings restrict features, CollabNet is providing the full enterprise product without any functional restrictions.
