Hey folks,
for the past few months, we’ve been in contact with the Illinois Regional Agile Users Group. Recently they have completely revamped their website. In order to manage their backlog, they have asked us to give them a free license of ProjectCards. We kindly did so.
So far the feedback we have gotten has been tremendously positive. Some people in the community have liked working with ProjectCards so much that they have since recommended us to some of their own consulting clients. Amongst other things, they really liked the simplicity of getting started with ProjectCards. They also enjoyed the instantaneous user feedback.
As our long time users can tell you, having your taskboard and planningboard updated in real-time when someone else makes a change is an awesome feature to have when you have a distributed teams. ProjectCards can also be used directly within Eclipse or Aptana as a plugin. Perfect to keep us developers involved !
If you represent an Agile, Scrum or a developer’s user group and need a free tool to manage your activities, drop us an email at support@projectcards.com. We are always looking forwards giving back to the Agile community.
If you’re in the region of Illinois, we’d like to invite you to check out IRAUG. You can get in touch with either Maria Matarelli or Scotty Bevill of BevillEdge who are its very friendly organizers.
The ProjectCards team.

2011, Time to organize for the next project. Our first project was awesome using ProjectCards. You can see the result here: http://www.iraug.org Not on the website, it was the website itself.
The team needed a corporate firewall friendly registration site and this is what they designed. Best part is that only two people involved were actually scrum knowledgable. The rest were business partner resources that wanted to know more about scrum. From concept to live in 2 sprints, then regisrtation over 2 months with one developer, now integrated paypal and google checkout. Team members were in 3 cities and new to scrum. Nice work all you guys.
All done in project cards, one iteration at a time.
