Abstract
A system and method configured to provide access to and management of information from a plurality of third party software development systems from a single application, where each software development system has a unique data module. Data is retrieved from third party software development tools and cached in a temporary repository to be merged and linked. Changes made are temporary until saved, at which point the changes are saved back to the software development system that originated the data. The system provides interactive manipulation and a consolidated view of merged data for more efficient management, collaboration and real-time editing without going into each individual software development system. This set up embraces and enhances the agile software development interaction while overcoming the software administration, management and maintenance issues of having a plurality of software development tools across a variety of project teams and locations, including geographically disperse locations.
