[ajug-members] Open Source Project Managment Tool

[Björn Gustafsson]

We used XPlanner a little at my last job.  It was pretty simple to use, and
worked for us even though we didn't follow an XP methodology. Superficially
it looks like it's highly tuned to XP, but you can use it with other project
management approaches.

Right now we're looking for a similar tool at my current job.  So far,
JIRA<http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/>has bubbled up to the top
of our list. As I understand it, that's not a free
product, though it is open-source. I don't know about the licensing terms,
but I've used it in the past and it is a good product for project/task
management.

I'm also interested to hear what others have tried, and what was good/bad
about them.
