) List of common scrum tools

Http://scrumxp.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrum-scrum.html

 

Whiteboard
The most direct method for daily tracking is very good, but the support for Product Backlog is obviously insufficient.

Excel
We also used it in the first place. When there are many Members, the modifications may conflict with each other and it is difficult to synchronize the changes .. Refer to my article [scrum tools] Using excel sheet tools to implement Scrum

ScrumWiki
This is also used, and it has started to feel good. But when your needs change and complexity, it is not easy to use. The background script is written in Perl. A foreign colleague of ours also made special modifications to it, adding a lot of feature to make it easy to use. As a free software, no one supports and maintains it.

Scarab

Java server Platform, supports flexible customization, free of charge

Double Chocco Latte
Based on PHP, supports Apache or IIS, MySQL or SQL Server, and web clients, free of charge

VersionOne
Commercial Products! Nothing to say, industry leader!

From a functional perspective, it is indeed very novel and implements the agile User Story first principle. Similar to VSTS, the concept of combining Issues, Defect, and Task becomes a Task (more elegant in VSTS, workItem), and must be mounted under UserStory. This tool is worth looking at. You can download a trial version or use the test platform they provide online.

Based on ASP. NET and IIS and SQL.

The team can use "V1: agile team" to manage products and sprint backlogs and conduct daily development activities through interactive "taskboards" and "testboards, view the progress and other activities by using reports and combustion charts.
With these features, "V1: agile team" users can:

• Quickly import stories and defects from workbooks and manage the combined product backlog.
• With simple drag-and-drop operations, you can easily develop plans and prioritize stories.
• Use the whiteboard interface to develop release plans for multiple versions at the same time to improve efficiency.
• You can visually track versions and sprints through interactive task boards, test boards, and daily Scrum dashboard.
• Generate charts for key agile metric data of versions and sprints, such as Burndown, Velocity, Estimate trends, and Cumulative Flow Reports.

The only problem is that too many choices are provided. It is not a good product for people looking for simple and clear tools !.

GNATS
Traditionally, GNATS is a defect tracking tool, but according to Jeff Sutherland, Scrum is already supported. It is free of charge.

Welcome to "Agile Software Development essay-agile genie three things"

Select Scope Manager
Commercial Products with trial versions available for download. Poor customization.

XP Plan-it
You can only store your data on another server. You can update and view the data through the downloaded client .. It seems to be of little significance to most people

XPWeb
Another web-based Distributed Solution. Free!

PHP + MySql can run on Linux, Windows, or Mac. However, it does not work well in IE7 and cannot be tested in detail.

XPlanner
The most popular open-source tools are free of charge, ranking fourth in the industry. They are really poor project management tools!

As a Web-based XP team planning and tracking tool, Apace Tomcat is required.

XP has unique development concepts such as iteration and user stories. XPlanner provides corresponding management tools. XPlanner supports the XP development process, it also solves the problems encountered by using the XP idea to develop projects. XPlanner features include: Simple Model planning, Virtual note cards, iterations, user stories, and work record tracing. Incomplete stories will be automatically iterated and work time tracking, generate team efficiency, personal work hour report, and support for the SOAP interface ..

ScrumWorks
I personally think that we have been using the best commercial products that support Scrum in the third place in the market. It supports different teams to work on different projects and is flexible. There are both simple web clients and powerful java clients.

There is a free version, and there is no time limit, I use it.

Supports integration of Bugzilla and Jira, burndown charts with topic filtering, and other functions that help you understand the project status and trend, as well as many other features.

The integration of ScrumWorks Pro with Bugzilla and Jira is embodied in the ability to import entries in the two as backlog entries and operate on these entries like other backlog entries. You can use search to select the entries you are interested in and perform separate or multiple import operations. Infoq communicated with JD Aspinall of Danube technology, discussed the nature of this feature, and how to use Bugzilla and Jira together with ScrumWorks Pro.

Users who want to request this feature want to use both tools at the same time.

Many users of the Product input all their bugs as Product Backlog entries into ScrumWorks Pro for tracking. However, there are also many other users who, for other reasons, use different tools to track problems and only choose to import certain defects to ScrumWorks Pro.

The Burndown chart can now be grouped by topic. After the backlog is organized by topic (similar to the tag used in web 2.0), you can highlight or filter these backlogs and filter the burndown graph with the same topic.

ProjectCards
ProjectCards maintains the project management index card, precise content, a project control disk, search and filtering capabilities, and drag-and-drop repetition plans. Free trial on the 60th day.

Supports plug-in for Eclipse Based on the Client/Server structure.

TargetProcess
Is an Agile Project Management and Bug Tracking System. The Enterprise Edition provides many customized functions, including Pre-paid 20 hours of development by TargetProcess stuff and all source code that provides the development Guide and API reference.

This tool is suitable for small project teams.

Here is a Demo to help readers understand this product. The content is to assign a Story to developers During Iteration Planning by creating a new project ).

Their pricing models include "by Site/On Site" (to be installed) and "On-Demand/On Demand" (Web edition), with discounts.

ExtremePlanner
A web-based tool has almost the same functionality as ProjectCards, but it adds the task-level evaluation feature, which is a great improvement. Because it is web-based, its interface may not be beautiful enough, but it gains some flexibility due to browser-based (for example, if a project member wants to view the status report onlineExtremePlannerYou do not need to install anything .)

I'm still looking at this tool, but it looks pretty good.

Windows, Linux, or MacOSX platforms are required (with Java 1.4.2 or higher and Apache Tomcat 4.1 or higher)

Rally
Commercial Software users' usage ranks second! Supports filtering of user requirements, extended filtering standards, improved version remaining schedules, new notification rules, and connectors for Eclipse and CruiseControl. NET.

There is a free online trial version.

Mingle

Mingle is available for free at official sites of ThoughtWorks.DownloadAnd less than 5 users can be permanently used for free. Mingle is pureRubyA product created and run on JRuby. ruby is a scripting language, so it has good portability and is easy to install with programs it compiles, running on Windows, Mac, and Unix platforms is not a problem. However, Mingle has high hardware requirements due to ruby writing, running on my M memory machine is extremely slow and disturbing. We recommend that you put it on a dedicated server with good performance. The official recommended memory capacity is 2 GB. I encountered several ie errors and had to give up.

The Mingle background storage adopts the database method. Currently, only mysql and ipvs database versions are supported. This is a pity that I cannot use the ready-made Oracle database.

After a simple usage, we found the following good Features:
-Support the creation of "personalized" project templates for reuse;
-The project wiki is provided to facilitate "project knowledge accumulation and management ";
-The rich card properties make the requirement-driven management process clearer;
-Link Between card and source code is supported ;.

TRICHORD
This agile project management tool named "TRICHORD" is based on Lean Thinking and also applies to Scrum. TRI refers to three perspectives (time, task, and team), while CHORD is harmonious.

It operates as a workspace for the entire team to share the project status, as shown in table 1, which provides three levels of panel charts-feature panel (release-feature), story dashboard (story-iteration) and task dashboard (workday-task ). The feature dashboard is summarized by the parking lot diagram, and the story and task dashboard is summarized by the extended diagram.
