User Story.NET

This project is a tool for Extreme Programming projects in their User Story tracking. I'd like to put some screenshots of the current version here when I get the opportunity. Until then, you'll have to download it and install it in order to use it. Go to the project's summary page to download it.

Current Features:

• Log in as admin to add users to the system and define project's variables (current release, iteration, and build, etc.).
• A user can add User Stories, including the unique name, category, main text and a bulleted list of sub-requirements.
• When a User Story is chosen for development, the User Story is submitted to Development by clicking the Compose checkbox. The composer's ID and a timestamp is put on the User Story.
• Developers break the User Story down into programming tasks, then estimate and assign the tasks.
• When Development finishes the User Story, s/he clicks the Developed checkbox, again with an ID and timestamp. The User Story is now considered in testing.
• Testing then marks a User Story as Approved or Rejected, and the User Story's status goes to either Production or Rejected.
• Any user can retrieve a list of User Stories by both status and category.

Next Features:

• Tracking of start and end times of each iteration and/or build, saving the history, rather than just storing the current parameters.
• Viewer to view project velocity and other metrics based on available information.

I'm building this for our own company's use, and posted it to SourceForge so that if it's useful to anyone else, we may be able to help each other make the tool better. Please drop me a line at pettys@users.sourceforge.net if you download the program -- tell me what you think.
