I’d suggest having a look at AgileZen and how they implement a planning board — it’s beautiful. Of course, it’s only on the desktop for now… but their UI is brilliant.

It is the best way to manage a project… You can do it everywhere and instantly. I wouldn’t switch on a tablet PC that often. To work in Detail it might be ok to wait until i am in Office. But great if i wouldn’t have to… maybe i am between two appointments and should do some planning, huh? I will check out the iPhone App… it might be a compromise.

Hi
you can’t see your ‘goals’ when you write your ‘to do’s, etc – its good to see/focus on goal when writing next list

iPad is going to be a fabulous device for when you are out and about, but not many people I know do their project planning that way.
Everyone watching the same Windows screen on the projector (or via screen sharing for the offsite people) with someone driving the mouse is hard to beat. (BTW multiple wireless mice around the table so anyone can take control is the way to go)

Well, if the application works on a Tablet PC it works on the Surface thats the great thing about WPF and a software company who understands the true meaning behind business and companies who design things that look pretty but aren’t that functional.

Some problems I see with the iPad in business in this scenerio:

* Been able to type
* Not been able to run your WPF/Win Forms Apps in the meeting room
* Having to exit the scrum software to refer to your SharePoint project portal
* Not everybody can see the screen 8 developers around a rectangle table makes viewing difficult

What are everybody elses thoughts?

OnTime (and V10′s new planning board) should already work great with Smart Boards as they don’t require any additional software modifications to take advantage of drag-and-drop.

As for iPad vs. MS Surface…ummm, I think we’d look to make it work best on the device that would be made & used by > 100 people. ;-) I don’t know of anybody, any company or any dev team that has a MS surface computer. I suspect within days of the release of iPad, that won’t be true about that device.

Yes, I agree. A surface aware WPF version of the Axosoft client would be great in a planning room.

Along that route, how about a Smart Board aware version? Their SDK is free and they’re moving into multi-touch as well as tabletop.
