One of the developers on XPlanner, Jacques Morel, dropped me a comment on my post about my Pain with XPlanner post: 0.7 is very close (within a month) and has this problem solved. You can build it right now from subversion. It is rather stable (we release it every 2 weeks internally). I am scheduled [...] I picked up and poignant tidbit from [...] Matt Raible commented in a post on Wicket that: In the past couple of months, I’ve spoke in front of 25+ Java developers on 4 different occasions to talk about web frameworks. I’ve asked those developers which frameworks they’ve used, or plan on using. Struts is still the most widely used, with WebWork and Tapestry [...] Starting a Sprint on a small project. I just love seeing the whiteboard before the Sprint really gets underway. I get about 48 email messages from Cruisecontrol each day for one of our projects. This is not something I’m proud of since this situation has existed for at least 4 weeks now, we’ve had a broken build. The problem stems from some nasty functional tests that no one wants to investigate and we’ve sort [...] During a meeting of senior developers where we kick around general development issues like whether to use Spring MVC or JSF going forward, a question came up from one of the developers about JUnit 4 and when it was supposed to be released.

Based on my experiences I’d say there’s a bit of truth in the statement even [...] While XPlanner looked like a good solution for my problem, reality intruded when I got a 2 hour window to play around with it. It requires MySQL and a servlet container (Tomcat). In about 90 minutes on Friday I got it up and running. Today I tried to setup a sample project or two with [...] Now that we’re starting to run multiple Scrum projects, I’m finding an excel spreadsheet not quite enough for organizing purposes. I looked at XPlanner and ScrumWiki today. Gave up on ScrumWiki pretty early since it’s Perl CGI based and doesn’t look like its had any active development for over a year. So that left XPlanner.
