Planview, the platform for connected work from portfolio planning to delivery, announced today that it is entering into a strategic collaboration with the enterprise automation software company UiPath in order to bring value stream management (VSM) features to testing. 

This integration is intended to bring together the UiPath Business Automation Platform with Planview’s VSM solution Planview Tasktop Hub. This combination allows teams to enhance their automation of repetitive tasks, minimize manual mistakes, and speed up delivery of products.

Planview Tasktop Hub offers CIOs and transformation leaders the ability to keep track of value flow and business outcomes by combining efficient toolchains with a tech stack that improves productivity, reduces bottlenecks, improves time-to-market, and cuts down on lost revenue.

With the help of Planview’s tool, UiPath is able to integrate with over forty mainstream application lifecycle management tools on the market. These include Azure DevOps, Jira, and ServiceNow.

 “Our collaboration with UiPath is a game-changer for technology leaders looking to solve efficiency and visibility challenges,” said Louise K. Allen, chief product officer at Planview. “Rapid and continuous automation testing is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s critical to accelerating digital transformation and fostering the future of connected work. A recent Planview report found that bottlenecks frequently happen at the end of the release process, with 40% of end-to-end delivery time spent on software testing and release activities. This integration will offer visibility and control over the entire software development lifecycle, enabling teams to optimize workflows for better outcomes.”
