Abstract:
Supporting planning tasks of agile teams is a challenge. In this paper, we present a lightweight planning tool. ASAP is inspired by concepts and principles from spatial hypertext, which support information analysis tasks. ASAP runs on a large interactive vertical display on which electronic task cards can be organized into iterations and releases using card hierarchies and separators (a novel visual concept). Several views of the evolving plan are automatically generated to assist the agile team with overviews of tasks, estimates, and assignments. Views are instantly updated to reflect changes to the plan.
