which one is better?

Hi there,

I've been working with TFS for half a year now (client's choice) and don't consider it to be a Scrum tool at all. A tool which doesn't enforce Scrum rules is just another project management tool, isn't it?

Thx,

Marc

Better for what ?

Exactly Marc.
One of my friend who is also a scrum master is using TFS(client choice),whole time he is busy with TFS,
He started calling himself as project manager less scrum master.

Yes, that's what you're gonna end up with. Maybe one has to come up with his own tool to make sure it is helpful instead of annoying. Right now, using a spreadsheet would make more sense to manage a Sprint Backlog.

I actually started out using a spreadsheet (Excel) with my Product Owner and team to manage their product and sprint backlogs. I am still a fan of that approach, since it doesn't have the learning curve present with adopting a new tool.

When it comes to many things Agile, we need to ask ourselves what the easiest solution that meets our needs.

This is so true, Tim! People spend hours every day with some fancy but basically annoying tool instead of focussing on their backlogs.

@ Samridh: You see, that spreadsheet (I use LibreOffice) entry was no joke of mine - people actually use it to keep it simple.

You might find a direct comparison between CA Agile Central (formerly known as Rally) and TFS from the IT Central Station user community to be helpful.

Good luck with your search.
