Scrumy, the simplest thing that could possibly work

[Matías Iturburu]

Checking  a thread at stackoverflow I've found scrumy (http://scrumy.com/), it doesn't have as much features as agilito (most notably the burndown). but I've found really interesting the way they solved the "swimming lanes" layout.

Also is quite fast and snappy.

What do you think?

I couldn't find any screenshots to make it easy to tell, and the video, while amusing, didn't actually show the product!

Without the burndown, it's just a drawing tool. No tracking, no
history, and very little insight. http://www.gliffy.com/ does
essentialy the same, and more, but I wouldn't use that for project
tracking. Plus, you have no access to your own data.

This would be very easy to implement on agilito. A little jquery would
do it. If anyone can cook up a sensible use-case for the functionality
that it would implement I will cook it up in less than a week, and you
can consider that a promise; I like the eye-candy just as much as the
next guy.

The problem, as I see it, is that the free version is just eye-candy
with very little useful application. If you move the card to in-
progress, you don't know what its actual status is. If the card
remains there for 3 days, you don't know whether it's progressing
nicely, or reason for alarm. There's no way to tell if that single
card that remains in-progress is a minor thing, or a major risk on
your sprint. If you move it anywhere, you'd also need to edit the time-
remaining, but if you edit time-remaining, the card should "move"
itself. The move is a side-effect of the task status, not the other
way around.

That it is.
