XPlanner
Agile project management requires that you keep track of iteration, stories under each iteration and tasks to be performed under each story. Another key aspect of doing an iterative approach is to calculate the velocity of an iteration. Calculating velocity helps in determining the team’s capacity to complete stories in an iteration. Velocity is calculated by comparing the estimated hours vs. the actual hours spent by the team in an iteration. XPlanner is an open source tool that can help automate capturing the stories, tasks, keeping track of the time spent by the team on stories and tasks and also calculating the velocity for an iteration. It can produce the estimated vs. actual in graphical formats by iterations and stories. It also provides features to export the reports in the form of PDF and XML data.
