What are good tools for managing process an agile/XP software team

Question

We have 32 people. 4 product, 20 engineers, 4 web developers, and 4 designers. We are currently using the green hopper pluggin for jira to track/ manage projects. In the past we have used a white board and cards and to some extent played with basecamp.

What other tools are available that would be a good fit for us? Suggestions welcome. No flame war please, just want to know what has worked for you.

Answer 1

Trac or Mantis.

I hear FogBUGZ is actually pretty decent.

Answer 2

Rally is worth a look for web based Project Management. There's a free community edition which you can try with up to 10 users.

Answer 3

I've used SkinnyBoard with quite a bit of success to make an online whiteboard. This is very helpful when working with people remotely, and quickly generating burndowns. It's pretty responsive, works well. I'd recommend it.

Answer 4

I have used TargetProcess with good success, it's commercial but there is a full featured free edition limited to 5 users, which might be enough if you only use it for user stories and planning.

Answer 5

Pivotal Tracker is worth a look

Answer 6

Task Analytics is simple and effective part of the agile process.

Agile Zen is a new addition to this arena also.

Answer 7

iMeta Agility is worth a look. You can influence the product direction and development.
