Agile teams can work at different locations whether they're different offices, at home, with the customer at his office or on a plane. Plastic helps managing these situations with just a few clicks.

Replicate branches back and forth from the Plastic SCM GUI. Just select a branch on the branch explorer and push or pop changes from a remote server.

No arcane commands to type, no hassle! Few SCMs out there can work distributed, only Plastic makes it a snap.

Agile is all about delivering early and often. And the best way to achieve it is splitting development into small tasks.

Plastic is the only SCM which allows you mapping each task into its own branch, isolating the changes related to a task in a sandbox and providing the perfect fit between agility and control, shaping the code the way you shape your agile process.

It will help you visualize the whole process, tracking merges graphically and diplaying the information of the associated task from your preferred issue tracking system.

Can your SCM do this? Have you ever visualized your changes this way?

Agile is about fast change, but also about working at a sustainable pace, about keeping the team motivated and boosting productivity and innovation. Rich graphical retrieval interfaces let you visualize your project from a different angle, activating ideas that were not there before. Besides, attractive interfaces are said to push innovation...

Plastic introduces new ways to display code changes. The branch explorer focuses at the repository level: zoom out and watch the whole repository on a single view using the branch explorer, or zoom into a single file or directory and inspect changes using the 3D version tree.

You can use the interactive statistics view for datamining too.

Reviewing your peer's code will shrink bug counts more than any other practice. But reviewing code is a tedious task, so most of the time you won't do it.

Plastic SCM makes code reviews easier with its built-in code review helper tool. Check what's changed on a changeset, just right clicking on it and inspecting the changes.

All the modified files and directories will show up, and you will be able to navigate the changes graphically, including highlighting.

The same features are available to inspect changes on branches and labels.

Working on Eclipse? Good, because Plastic does integrate within this IDE.

No need to switch windows while coding to perform version control actions, so that you can always keep focus on what's important: your code.

Create branches, configure workspaces, integrate changes, and of course run regular checkin cycles... all within Eclipse!

Is your team growing up out of Windows? Or, always been a Mac or Linux developer?

No problem, Plastic SCM server and command line are available on all these platforms but, the full GUI is too! See for yourself how great it looks under Linux and MacOS X.

All features, including our graphical distributed development support, are available on all platforms.

Also take a look at the 3D version tree running on all platforms too.

While developing code on Visual Studio you don't want to switch away to another tool to do code related operations. This way you can keep the flow and remain concentrated on the task at hand.

Plastic SCM does not only implement the basic version control interfaces, but also bring its whole user interface to Visual Studio, so you don't need to jump out while coding, helping you keep concentrated on your work.
