Hi Hamid,

This looks great. It’s a Heijunka Board!

I requested something like work in process limits just recently. Feature 5365. This was just before I started learning about Scrum-ban. To paraphrase myself “I beleive that this feature would benefit from some sort of capacity planning as well.” I feel this is a really good additional component to a Kanban based Scrum model.

Thanks!!

Hi Doctor Bombay! OnTime has full support for Scrum. Take a look here: http://www.axosoft.com/ontime/scrum

OnTime also has support for User Stories and estimation using hours or points. It’s up to the admin how they setup their database.

I couldn’t agree more that physically locating developers close to one-another has a huge effect on improving productivity. Everything else is supplementary and adds small incremental improvements.

Thanks Armond. No there is currently no plans to have work in progress limits. It has never come up as a request.

We are working on a small scheduled app that queries the DB and updates all Features time remaining with the sum of the time remaining of all Tasks that have an “implements” relationship to the Feature. There are a few issues we have ran into with burndown charts for the Features but otherwise it seems to be working quite well.

Hamid,
The scrum planning board screenshot looks great, nice to have web based support for it as that seems to be the desired way to go. Seems like you guys are finally catching up to Greenhopper.
However, I still dont see scrum supported in V10, it seems to have the same issues as the previous versions. There doesnt seem to be any concept of Stories and related tasks and rollups of status. Rally seems to have a cleaner implementation where if all the tasks for a story are completed, the Story itself is completed. Plus we dont assign hours at the Story/Feature level, only at the task level and that seems to be a problem too.
Hopefully you will have this in your next version.

[...] I don’t know if it’s something they’ve heard from other customers or not, but I do know they are adding support for a Kanban view that might just do what I want, so I’m eager to see the beta in February. I’ll be sure to [...]
