Palantír is a workspace awareness tool that aims to bring increased levels of awareness to Configuration Management (CM) systems. The goal of the project is to support developers with advanced graphical views that not only keeps them continuously aware of which artifacts are being changed, but also of the impact and severity of those changes.
Palantír breaks the isolation currently separating distributed CM workspaces by keeping a developer continuously aware of the changes taking place elsewhere in the project. To do so, Palantír provides advanced graphical views, which are based on check-in / check-out information and show the changes that are being made to the artifacts that are of interest to the developer. Changes to an artifact are tracked at real time, and the severity (magnitude of change between the current and the previous version) and impact (influence of the change on the specified artifact) of each change are calculated and visualized. An event notification server is used for communication at real time and different visualizations can be chosen based on user needs.
Palantír derives its name from The Lord of the Rings .
