Scrum Tools Review---Count the current scrum tools on the market

Whiteboard
The most direct way for daily tracking is still very good, but the product backlog support is obviously not enough
Excel
We initially used, mainly members of the situation, the changes will conflict with each other, not good synchronization. You can refer to this article I wrote [Scrum Tools] using Excel table Tools to implement Scrum Leangoo Leangoo has a kanban-style collaboration, simple and intuitive, easy to drag and drop task cards and task lists, and real-time synchronization of Kanban changes among team members. At the same time, its simple and practical features make it lighter than other software, allowing teams to collaborate within 5 minutes without the need to spend a lot of learning and usage costs. It's free, no members and the number of projects limit more for the majority of team collaboration without worries, recommended use.

Scrumwiki
This one was used, and it felt good at first. But when your needs are changing and complicated, it's not easy to use. The background script is written in Perl, and one of our foreign colleagues has made a special modification to him, adding a lot of feature, so that it works. As a free software, no one is currently supported and maintained.

Scarab

Java server platform, support flexible customization, free

Double Chocco Latte
PHP-based, support for Apache or IIS, MySQL or SQL Server, Web client, free

VersionOne
Commercial Products! Nothing to say, industry boss!

From a functional perspective, it is true that the user story in agile is the first principle, similar to VSTS, that issues, Defect, task merging concepts become task (more elegant in vsts, called WorkItem), and must be hung under the userstory, this tool is worth seeing, a trial version can be downloaded, or you can use the test platform they provide online

Based on ASP. NET and IIS and SQL.

Teams can use the V1: Agile team to manage products and sprints, conduct daily development activities through Interactive taskpad (taskboards) and test boards (testboards), and view progress through reports and burn charts, among other activities.
With these features, users of the "V1: Agile Team" can:

• Quickly import stories and defects from spreadsheets and manage the merged product backlog.
• Easily complete planning and prioritize stories with simple multi-item drag-and-drop operations.
• Improve efficiency by using the Whiteboard interface to develop multiple versions of the release plan at the same time.
• Visually track versions and sprints with an interactive task board (taskboard), test Board (Testboard), daily scrum dashboard.
• Generate graphs for key Agile metric data for version and sprints, such as Burndown, Velocity, Estimate trends, cumulative Flow Reports.

The only problem is that there are too many choices, and it's not a good product for someone looking for a simple and straightforward tool.

Gnats
Gnats traditionally belongs to the bug tracker, but according to Jeff Sutherland, Scrum has been supported. Free

Welcome to "Agile Software Development essay---Agile elf two or three"

Select Scope Manager
Commercial products, there is a trial version can be downloaded. The customization is relatively poor.

XP plan-it
Just support to put your data on his server, you update and view data by downloading the client. It doesn't seem to mean much to most people.

Xpweb
Another web-based distributed scenario. Free!

Use Php+mysql to run on Linux, Windows, or Mac. But the demo does not work well under IE7, and it cannot be tested in detail.

Xplanner
The most awesome grandfather-level Open source tool, totally free, industry usage ranked fourth, really is the poor project management tool!

As a Web-based XP team planning and Tracking tool, apace Tomcat is required.

XP unique development concepts such as iteration, user stories and so on, Xplanner provide the corresponding management tools, Xplanner support the XP development process, and solve the problem of developing projects using XP ideas. Xplanner features include: Simple model planning, virtual note cards, iterations, user stories and tracking of work records, incomplete stories will automatically iterate, work time tracking, build team efficiency, Personal hours report, SOAP interface support:

ScrumWorks
Personally, we have been using it for the third place in the market, where we support the best business products for scrum. can support different team to work on different projects, very 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 theme filtering, and other features that help you understand the status and movement of your project, as well as many others.

The integration of ScrumWorks Pro with Bugzilla and Jira is reflected in its ability to import entries in both as a backlog entry, and to operate on these items as you would for other backlog entries. You can use search to select items of interest and to perform individual or multiple import operations. Infoq communicated with Danube's JD Aspinall, discussing the nature of this feature and how to use Bugzilla and Jira with ScrumWorks Pro.

I want to make this feature request for users who want to use both tools at the same time.

Many users of the product enter all their bugs as product backlog entries into ScrumWorks Pro and track them. However, there are many other users who, for other reasons, use different tools to track the problem and only choose to import some specific bugs into ScrumWorks Pro.

Burndown charts can now be grouped by subject. After the backlog is organized by topic (similar to using tags in web 2.0), you can highlight or filter the backlog and be able to filter on the Burndown diagram using the same theme.

Projectcards
Projectcards maintains project management index cards, precise details, a project control Panel, search and filtering capabilities and drag-and-drop iterations. Free trial on 60 days.

Based on the CLIENT/SERVER structure, plug-in for Eclipse is supported.

TargetProcess
is an agile project management and bug tracking system. The Enterprise Edition offers a number of custom features, including pre-paid hours of development by targetprocess stuff and provides all the source code for development guides and API references.

This tool is very suitable for small project teams.

Here's a Demo to help the reader understand the product by creating a new project and assigning a story to the developer during the iteration plan.

Their price patterns include "by Site/on" (need to install) and "On Demand/On Demand" (Web version), and offer discounts.

Extremeplanner
A web-based tool that functions almost exactly like projectcards, but it adds the ability to evaluate at the task level, which is a great improvement. Because it is web-based, its interface may not be beautiful enough, but because of its browser-based, it has some flexibility (for example, when project members want to view status reports online, if they are using extremeplanner, there is no need to install anything.) ）

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

Requires Windows, Linux, or MacOSX platform (with Java 1.4.2 or higher and Apache Tomcat 4.1 or higher)

Rally
Second place for business software user usage! Filters that support user needs, extended filtering criteria, improved version remaining schedules, new notification rules (notification rules), and connectors for Eclipse and cruisecontrol.net.

There is a free online trial experience version.

Mingle

Mingle can be downloaded free of charge at the ThoughtWorks official site, and 5 users below can be used for free forever. Mingle is a product built with pure Ruby and runs on the JRuby, and because Ruby is a scripting language, it is very portable and easy to install with its programs, running on many major windows, Mac and UNIX platforms is not a problem, but it is because of the use of ruby, mingle hardware requirements are very high, in my 512M memory of the machine running is super slow, annoying, or put on a good performance, a separate server, memory capacity of the official recommendation is 2G. Also met several times IE error, had to give up.

Mingle background storage in database mode, currently only support MySQL and postgres Two database versions, this is a pity, I can not use the ready-made Oracle database.

A simple use, found the following very good features:
-Support the creation of "personalized" project templates for easy reuse;
-Project wiki is included to facilitate "project knowledge accumulation and management";
-rich card properties to make the demand-driven management process clearer;
-Support for link between card and source code;.

Trichord
This Agile project management tool, called "Trichord", is based on lean thinking and applies to scrum as well. Tri refers to three different perspectives (time, task, and team), and chord is the meaning of harmony.

It works as a workspace to share project status across the team, with three levels of Kanban-feature Kanban (Release-feature), Story Kanban (story-iteration), and Task Kanban (weekday-Task). Feature Kanban is used to summarize the parking plan, and the story and task Kanban are summed up by the burn chart.
