Lighthouse is used by thousands of companies all over the world to better manage, monitor and measure software development projects. It’s available in a free version, Lighthouse Pro, that includes everything needed to manage tasks, resources, costs, schedules, requirements, testing, bugs, issues, documents and more.
“Our new release, called Miami, completely overhauled the user interface, and many of the ideas came directly from Lighthouse users. The Lighthouse user community is terrific, constructive and proactive, so we’re eager to work together,” said Joe Ponczak, Artifact Director of Product Management. “The Miami performance enhancements will significantly improve the user experience, particularly for our overseas customers.”
“Lighthouse was very good already, but the new UI and performance improvements show how responsive Artifact is to market feedback,” remarked Chris Howe, Director of Systems & Technology, G1440 Consulting. “Lighthouse continues to improve and we’re happy we can see measurable benefit from the enhancements.”
Artifact has upgraded Lighthouse twice already this year, and significant upgrades are planned for late spring (Cozumel) and mid-summer (La Jolla). In March, Artifact introduced Lighthouse Premium, its subscription service that enables users to customize, extend and integrate Lighthouse. Cozumel and La Jolla will add new capabilities to Lighthouse Premium, including custom fields and layouts, IDE integration, and complete project planning.
“Globalization and competitive pressures are really pushing software teams to deliver more and faster than ever, so organizations are searching for better tools and processes to meet these challenges”, said Artifact’s CEO, Mark Wesker. “We’re committed to delivering the absolute best technology in the software development market so that our customers can build better software, effectively tap into global resources, and reduce the overall costs of software development.”
