We use Rally http://www.rallydev.com/
We are currently on the community edition as we have a small team but will be branching out into multiple projects. The community edition doesn't support this, but I believe you can upgrade to the paid version to get it. The company used to use PivotalTracker which I found pretty poor. I have also looked at AgileZen which also seems quite rudimentary. Rally is like a nice in between of TFS and PivtialTracker/AgileZen. Its pretty comprehensive and has a decent UI. TFS is good but is behemoth of ugliness. Reporting is its strong point. The MSF agile templates are pretty average though. - Glav -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Barnes Sent: Tuesday, 15 February 2011 5:38 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: SPAM-LOW Re: Project planning/issue tracking/etc, how are you doing it? Like all developers - "I'm writing one!" hehe.. I've been tinkering with one called iWANT basically taking the scraps left over from Agile methodology, cram in Sketchflow and mix it up with a whole spoon full of Dr Zoidburg from Futurama and well ...iWANT is what i'm ended up with so far. The reality though from traveling around Australia for the past few years meeting various ppl on this list, their cubicles blah blah, I've yet to see a team really adopt Agile end to end for one (seems to be a scrap yard of cherry picks) and between Excel and TFS are pretty much the issue tracking backbone of Australian .NET development :) (Not that i see anything really wrong with that - each to their own i say). Here's a screeny of it so far - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mossyblog/5405961003/in/set-72157600318083654/l ightbox/ I'll finish it one day but yeah, thats where i'm kind of at personally - mostly its just excel spreedsheets that live in some govt employee's inbox atm :( (current gig). P.S Why ZoidBurg? well given most ppl get religious about this topic ..i figure, why not worship someone like him if you're gonna form a religion..base it around a man-like crustacean with an insatiable appetite and an adorable "I'm helping!" personality :) --- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.riagenic.com On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 1:29 PM, Noon Silk <[email protected]> wrote: > As many of you will know, I used to use trac for this, but I'm moving > (well, for some things) to JIRA.
