Over the course of the last 2 years, I have tried out a number of Agile project management tools. These tools are very important to us as we are often on distributed teams, given we have an office in Mohali, India. So although we follow an Agile approach to our custom dev projects, we cannot stick to the Agile commandment that all development and project resources should work in the same location . Therefore a simple and efficient Agile card board on the wall will not suffice. We need a tool that can be referenced not only by the internal development teams in Chicago and Mohali, but also often by the client as well. We emphasize an open and transparent approach to our client relationship, which means our clients can log in and see the progress whenever they wish. This includes joining the daily-stand ups if they want.
So here is a quick run through of the tools we have tried, and why we ended up settling onAgile Zen.
