Agile Project Management Software

Great point Ron. From San Diego, I manage teams in Houston and Stamford, CT. I'll look at both Jira and Mingle. Thanks for all the input and this is a great site.

Thanks Ilja. I'm hoping to find a program that will keep me on track within the Agile methodology while allowing me to create simple executive dashboards for near-real time status reporting. While…

Greetings everyone, Which software do you use to manage Agile Scrum projects that aren’t application development? Can you include what you like and don’t like about the product you use? We use VSTS 2…

I'm a contractor at the SEC and we have been using PivotalTracker as part of an initial Scrum Pilot. Because of the Federal Environment I have to say that we will be migrating away from it to IceScrum2.

Hi Andy, We tried VersionOne for 3 months and found it cumbersome. Doesn't have nearly as much functionality as Scrumworks. Hope that helps.

Can anyone comment on what makes VersionOne the leader in this poll? Never used any products other than a whiteboard, but am looking at setting up a fairly large project soon that may require more control.

For small sized projects try http://miniscrum.com. It is one of the simplest tools to start with.

Hi, We use Scrumworks. We have 2 teams which are locally based and 3 teams in India. We find that Scrumworks is a real-time Scrum / Agile tool which has served our needs for over a year. See http://www.danube.com/ BTW, the web reports are also re…

We are using Rally (www.rallydev.com). Pretty happy with it in general, especially for distributed teams. I haven't spent time reviewing other tools, and I know there are tools popping up like mushroom after the rain...

Aaron Park replied to Doug Sigmon's discussion 'Agile Project Management Software'
Agreed. Nothing beats having the entire team in the same room. We find that having both physical tools (task board and burn down charts on white boards in the office) as well as online tools (Pivotal Tracker, Basecamp etc) to be a great combination.…

Ron Higdon replied to Doug Sigmon's discussion 'Agile Project Management Software'
I think simplest is best and recommend a task board with your tasks and a burn down chart produced daily. This works when the team is co-located. If you are not co-located I have found that a scrum tool which emulates at task board very useful (I ha…

Ilja Preuß replied to Doug Sigmon's discussion 'Agile Project Management Software'
In my not so humble opinion, the best things you can use are a release burn chart, hand made with markers on flip chart paper; plus a wall of index cards for the current sprint/iteration. These are not only very simple, flexible, visible and collabo…

Robert Sfeir replied to Doug Sigmon's discussion 'Agile Project Management Software'
I hear you... we have a distributed team, and we're government contractors working on location at NIH, so we don't exactly have walls to throw cards on. I prefer cards because it gives you something tangible you can talk about. GreenHopper has its q…

We are using Jira, too, and tried GreenHopper for a while. GreenHopper definitely makes Jira more fun to use, but I still find it much more painful to use than index cards on a wall (assuming a collocated team, of course).

Robert Sfeir replied to Doug Sigmon's discussion 'Agile Project Management Software'
Hello. First thanks for setting this up, I hope we get a good movement going. We're Agile SCRUM based, and as such we use a combination of: Jira and GreenHopper to manage our Sprints, Fisheye/Crucible to manage our code reviews. R

What do you need the software to do? What are the team's needs? I recently wrote about selection criteria for an Agile tool here: http://iljapreuss.blogspot.com/2009/07/criteria-for-scrum-tool-or-any-agile.html
