Murmurs: What Is It and How Can We Use It?

Problem

Murmurs, a feature introduced in Mingle 3.0, adds new team collaboration capabilities by enabling users to capture ambient data which occurs in day-to-day conversations that would otherwise be lost in space forever.  Murmurs enables Mingle users a means to associate once lost conversations to project artifacts, centralizing and archiving contextually relevant data.

In this video, see how Murmurs:


Extends existing team collaboration capabilities with "IM chat meets Twitter-like" functionality. 

Captures ambient data that comes out of day-to-day conversations and associate them to project- and artifacts; making contextually relevant data available for the whole team when it is needed.  Without Murmurs these conversations would otherwise be lost.

Improves team collaboration by allowing members to capture and associate previously uncaptured discussions within projects and associate them to specific artifacts. 

Provides improvements in traceability by centralizing unstructured communications so any team member can easily see what’s going on or the historical context of a given card or artifact.  If your neighboring paired programmers gets laid-off, no worries their history of work and its context are automatically archived.
