Interesting web-based tool. The tool is under active development (latest version May 11, 2010). It has some really nice concepts on board.
Planning poker powers user stories estimation. Stories represented by cards and there are several useful filters presets. When you add a user story it has template "As ... I want ... In order to ..". which is very nice and helpful. The downside is usability. Some very important actions like Add Sprint, Burn Down chart, etc available only via context menu! I spent half an hour to figure out how to plan a release and it was just a luck that I did the right click on the release name. Release and Iteration planning is very hard initially.
IceScrum is hard from the beginning, but it has nice features set and can be adopted by agile team.
