			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A mention from a colleague made me look up <a href="http://www.pivotaltracker.com">Pivotal Tracker</a>. It looks like a really nice tool for planning Scrums. We are using Version 1 on our current project, and I hate that beast. In comparison, Pivotal Tracker&#8217;s clean, usable interface looks really great.</p>

<p>I created a small test project to check it out. It is a somewhat opinionated software, and may not do some of the things that you expect it to do. For example, by default, there is no option to break down a story into tasks, or to assign points to bugs and technical tasks, but you can change that setting on a per-project basis if you want to. Check out their help section for other things it can or cannot do &#8211; <a href="http://www.pivotaltracker.com/help">Pivotal Tracker help</a>.<br />
And it is free with no limitations! What more can you ask for, go check it out today.</p>
