XPWeb

The only tool written on PHP. Has quite weird user interface, but quite a lot features. Demo is broken, so some features maybe do not work. The tool does not look as ready for production use in can't be used for agile project management in large teams.

Pros		Cons
Nice Calendar		Contrintuitive UI Development almost frozen. Last update early 2006 Does not support Releases, Iterations only Lack of integrity, looks like constructed from not very relevant pieces

Platform [Technologies]: Windows/Unix [PHP]

XPStoryStudio

From the first sight, XPStoryStudio may evolve into good tool, but in reality it was released in beta in 2004 and development stopped after beta release. So if you are not satisfied with current functionality there are no chances to change anything. Tool by itself is quite crude. Some things are good like iterations and user stories with tasks, but usability and user focused functionality is quite poor. No todos, no project team concept, no easy user story change state, no user load. In fact the tool can only plan iterations and this will be not enough for any real life project, just for very small projects or students.

Pros		Cons
Automatic installer that works pretty good		Broken design in FireFox Problems with reports. They just not there (You will see "The 'Reporting' section of this site has not yet been implemented" message in Reports section) No releases, iterations only Seems there will be no more releases. Last update 18-Jan-2004.

Platform [Technologies]: Windows [ASP.NET]

AgileTrack

The tool is under active development (latest version November 27, 2006). While it has several very nice features like burn down charts, saved queries and permissions, the concept behind AgileTrack has several flaws. For example, there are no relations between projects, release and iterations. It is not designed with usability in mind and usual tasks like assignments and plannig will take much effort. There is no iteration velocity concept. So the tool is not ready for agile project management, but may evolve into good software in near future.

Pros		Cons
Supports releases and iterations, but iterations are not fully release-related. Burn Down Charts Changes history Saved search queries Flexible role-based permissions		Not very usable user interface Very strange Project-releases-iterations concept. There are no relations between them at all! Issues list contains all entities (tasks, bugs, user stories) and is not usable. No planning UI, it is possible to reassign user stories from Edit screen only.

Platform [Technologies]: Windows/Unix [Java/Desktop, MySQL]
