Just opened firebug, something is happening, ajax is sending my email address - there is no visual confirmation of any sort, i.e. success or error. Hope their product is better! I was expecting to go and have a play. Just have to wait and see.

Hopefully mine should be ready for a beta test end of the month.

I believe the registration for Feature Cloud/Agileista is a manual process. :)

It's only manual registration so that the authors can pick who is allowed to use it.

The UI is not intuitive at all. Myself and some friends gave up before really giving it a chance. I am sure once completely understood it is a very powerful tool, but how much time is required to achieve this. Unfortunately its not for us.

I think choosing a tool can be very important in a lot of software development, during the first year or so of our agile software development project we used ScrumWorks by Danube. It was brought to us by our vendor along with the Scrum methodology.

I think it's nice that everyone is using (or at least starting to use) Scrum. However I would like to remind folks that it is much more important to have an actual physical board/wall with story cards and tasks on it that you/your team/everyone else can just get up/glance over and look at, and have the whole thing clearly visible, not just on a webpage that requires effort to look at and scrolling up/down/clicking to see what is actually going on :)

However for the clients information it's good to have.
