What

Having had the torture of dealing with Mingle on increasingly large projects. We would like to create an application to simplify the management of stories and tasks during agile development.

Removing all the silly functionality and stripping it down into what really is needed with informative viewing templates detailing essential information.

Comments

Without any concrete examples or a screencast, this site is pretty hard to figure out. I’m not really seeing what benefit this has over existing task and issue management systems. The interface gets awefully confused once I start digging into stories, and I don’t have a clear sense of what to do next.
