[UPHPU] planning, tracking, reporting, project management

[Wade Preston Shearer]

I've been playing with a trial of Pivotal Tracker for the past two hours and am really liking it thus far. It looks like it will be a good tool for designers, developers, and management. It has the web app, iOS app, and a Mac OS native mini-app.

Generally this is sufficient for me, but I'm finding I need more than a list. I need to see project status, burn-down charts, and be able to track projects, bugs, and backlogs. Most of the time when you ask for those features though you get a massively bloated app. I stubbled across PlanBox and Pivotal Tracker today though and am intrigued.
