Last month we introduced an exciting integration between Tracker and Wazoku’s awesome idea software. Wazoku is ideally suited to all you Product Managers looking for the tools to capture the best product ideas from across the business, filter and prioritise them and then in a single click create the story in Tracker.

To truly grok this integration we are running some demo webinars in the new year. Register here to reserve your seat – This webinar will cover the basics of idea management and showcase the integration between the two products. There’ll also be opportunities to discuss the application and answer any questions.

Also, don’t forget that Wazoku have very kindly offered all Tracker users an exclusive discount of £0.75 / $0.50 per user per month. You can access a free trial here (don’t forget to enter the promo code PTPC25F).

Let the ideas flow and hope to see you in January on the webinar!

It’s not that designers and developers don’t or can’t get along. What the team at Redline realized is that they speak a different language. So to facilitate the communication between these two life forms they created this tool

It’s simple to set up, simple to use and simple to incorporate into your Pivotal Tracker account – what else could you ask for?

Redline.cc is in beta – so cut them some slack (not that there’s anything to gripe about) and ask the designers you work with to give them try.

Wazoku’s Idea Spotlight is a fabulous new tool for Product Managers to manage and filter product development ideas. Now that they’ve integrated Tracker (We’re flattered to be their first third party integration), it’s borderline alchemical, transmuting raw ideas into stories is simple and seamless.

What Wazoku provides is a structure to the process of collecting and capturing ideas and a place where these can then be evaluated and analysed. The benefit to you and me is that it can help manage your Icebox and increase collaboration on development ideas.

Above and beyond great functionality, the team at Wazoku are offering an exclusive 25% off for life, just for Pivotal Tracker users. Maybe it’s their Robot icon… but the “I’d buy that for a dollar” line from Robocop comes to mind.

Try it out, tell us what you think and be sure to enter this promo code on the sign up form: PTPC25F

Airbrake is a great tool for identifying errors generated by other apps all in one place. I guess if you’re the offending app you might call it a rat, snitch, stool pigeon or fink – but to the rest of us it’s the canary in the coal mine that can save your butt.

As of today you can view Airbrake errors from within Pivotal Tracker and link activity back into Airbrake as a Tracker comment on the error it’s self.

The folks at Airbrake have explained in detail the two stage setup required to integrate Tracker with their app. Check it out here. If you’re new to Airbrake, it’s free for 30 days, so give it a try and tell us what you think.

Email is an antiquated concept that is an unmitigated productivity killer. Personally I have a suspicion that it’s actually Skynet 1.0. That said, it ain’t going away tomorrow or next month and or even by the end of the decade. So what is a human to do.

In comes Powerinbox – a company that has a “the glass is half full” perspective on the issue. What they do is bring apps to your email, just like the iPhone brought apps to your phone. For starters, you can view your facebook, twitter and linkedin feeds right from your email account.

Powerinbox is free and integrates with Gmail, Yahoo mail, hotmail and Outlook and more relevantly, they play nice with us, PIVOTAL TRACKER! To learn how check out their really informative blog post.

In a nutshell – if you’re reading this you are the resistance and very likely a Tracker user with an email account and a host of social media connections – so do yourself a solid and checkout Powerinbox.
