V1: Agile Team is an agile project planning and tracking tool for a single, small team who is new to agile development. Team offers story and defect tracking, release and iteration management, and velocity and burn down reporting.

V1: Agile Enterprise is a full agile lifecycle management tool for experienced agile teams and organizations managing multiple projects, teams or locations. Enterprise includes all the functions included in Team and advanced reporting, planning, forecasting, and customization options.

V1: Agile Ideas is a customer collaboration portal for capturing and prioritizing feature requests. Integration with V1: Agile Enterprise allows teams to automatically generate new stories from these ideas directly into the product backlog.
