MingleおよびMingle Plusとはプロジェクトマネジメントと協働作業のプラットフォームでThoughtWorksのソフトウェア部門であるThoughtWorks Studiosによるプロプライエタリ・ソフトウェアである。

2012年8月時点でMingle Plusもリリースされている。
機能
MingleとMingle Plusは集団がプロジェクトの記録とマネジメントのシステムに関する情報を共有する方法を提供しており[3]さらにAgile Story Wallをシミュレートしているカード貼り出し壁にドラッグ・アンド・ドロップされたプロジェクト内タスクの状態と進捗状況を表示したり、プロジェクト協働作業のためのウィキを備えていたり、Murmursと呼ばれる機能でプロジェクトのタスクにインスタントメッセージを関連付けることが出来る[4]。そして、作業の残り時間を示すバーンダウンチャートや予想進捗に対する実際の進捗状況を示すベロシティチャート、1つ以上の属性によるグルーピングデータを示すピボットテーブルを生成することも出来る。
Mingle Plusではさらに、組織の計画と目標を伝えるための視覚的で双方向なタイムラインを作成したり、共通する目標のための作業を計画するために連携したり、目標やプロジェクトの現況を知るために目標に対する進捗状況を追跡したり、プロジェクト作業に基づいて完了日を予測したり、状況の変化に応じる形で再計画して適応させたり、目標が予定より遅れそうになった時に警告を発したり、プロジェクトや作業項目が危機に晒されていることを理解したり、問題解決のために協力することもできる。
MingleとMingle PlusはXP、Scrum、Agile Hybridといった数種類のアジャイルに対応することを意図しており、主なプロジェクトマネジメントツールを通してバグ管理システムやプロジェクト報告、プログラムマネジメント機能を提供する。

History
In the late 1980s Roy Singham founded Singham Business Services as a management consulting company servicing the equipment leasing industry in a Chicago basement. According to Singham, after two-to-three years, Singham started recruiting additional staff and came up with the name Thoughtworks in 1990.[1][2] The company was incorporated under the new name in 1993 and focused on building software applications.[3] Over time, ThoughtWorks' technology shifted from C++ and Forte 4GL in the mid-1990s to include Java in the late 1990s.[4]
The company began using agile techniques while working on a leasing project[5] ThoughtWorks’ technical expertise expanded with the .NET Framework in 2002,[6] C# in 2004, Ruby and the Rails platform in 2006.[7]
ThoughtWorks Studios was launched as its product division in 2006. The division creates, supports and sells agile project management and software development and deployment tools including Mingle, Twist and Go. On 2 March 2007, ThoughtWorks announced Trevor Mather as the new CEO.[8]
In April 2013, ThoughtWorks announced a new collective leadership structure and appointed four co-Presidents of the global organization. The appointments followed the announcement that the current CEO, Trevor Mather, would be leaving ThoughtWorks in June to take up the role of CEO for the Trader Media Group.[9]
Software and services
The company’s primary service is the creation of custom software applications for corporate clients. Projects for North American, European or Australian clients are often delivered from India, China or Brazil. The firm also provides consulting services related to software development, design, architecture, operations and IT transformation among others.
Proprietary software
On July 28, 2008, ThoughtWorks Studios released a proprietary product continuous integration server called Cruise. Despite the name, this is not a derivative of the open source CruiseControl, but instead a new product written from scratch, which was released under a proprietary license.[10] On July 10, 2010, ThoughtWorks Studios released a new continuous delivery platform called Go.[11] Go includes the functionality of Cruise, which is no longer sold.[12] From April 2014 Go is open source[13] and available on GitHub.[14]
Mingle[15] is software to facilitate agile project management and collaboration. Released in May 2007, Mingle was the first commercial application to be created using JRuby.[16] Mingle was released as a SAAS offering in 2013. Twist[17] is software to facilitate test automation and functional testing with simple authoring. Snap CI[18] was released in Beta in 2013. Snap allows you to automate the build and deployment of your Rails application to Heroku.

So I recruited a few people, and we built a company called Singham Business Services for two or three years doing consulting and leasing. Then in 1990, I came up with the name ThoughtWorks."
