From Jira to Trello For the past couple of years I’ve had to work with Jira. Really, it’s mostly been dreading working with Jira. At both projects I’ve had Greenhopper available, and that hasn’t really made things better. My frustrations have had to do with the complexity of setting up the right fields, to creating a new sprint to creating a new project, down to mundane things like problems with ranking. I don’t particularly enjoy spending hours just tidying up my data. I want to quickly organize so I have time to actually work. I found out about Trello on September 14, 2011, Olle Hallin a colleague at Crisp had spotted it just a day after its release. The development team has one board and four columns: Ready for DevelopmentIn DevelopmentDeployed to StageDone The “Done” column is release specific. Creating the initial board and first sprint’s stories took about one hour. A few things that we can’t do in Trello but haven’t missed:

Crowdsourcing app will “measure the world” for a week through smartphones If you've ever had trouble explaining the concept of "big data" to someone—or had trouble wrapping your brain around the buzzword yourself—Rick Smolan wants to help. But how do you demonstrate big data? It's the somewhat abstract, powerful analytical processing of massive quantities of human- and machine-generated data. Smolan is a former National Geographic photojournalist, and his company, Against All Odds Productions, is a driving force behind the project. Since then, Smolan has continued tackling weighty topics (for instance the global water crisis). Part awareness-raising project, part publicity stunt, the app is tied to a large-format book and iPad interactive e-book (due in November). Most people are unaware of how much information is being collected from them and how it's used, Smolan said. The resulting data set will be able to be filtered by a variety of demographic settings, and will be analyzed by a collection of data scientists at the project's "Mission Control."
