Hi,

I bet that in ten years the solution stack will consist of….

- a wall
- backlog items printed on paper/written on post it notes
- board marker pen
- spreadsheet [soft copy of backlog and reports]
- blue-tack /pins

Hi Jesper (and Mads)! :-)

Sounds like a really fun project! The problem as I see it that any physical device will only work when you have a project with all team members gathered locally. The cool thing about a virtual dashboard (like the one I use: http://terborn.blogspot.com/2008/11/tfs-and-scrum.html) is that it is always available to all team members, no matter if they’re working from home or from another country.

Of course, it would be nice to add a flatscreen to the project room just to show the current status of the project, but direct modifications through that device wouldn’t be necessary. :-)

I don’t know what you consider affordable, but have you heard about or looked at the Mimio or the EBeam? Mimios are going for around $400 (which is far less than the $1400 plus for a real SmartBoard or ActivBoard.

If you want multitouch the only one I have seen that is in commercial production is a Hitachi product but it is also up there at around $1400 as well.

I have been putting together a set of links and info about interactive white boards at http://www.musicedmagic.com/iwband. I am working on a major comparison article between five major manufacturers. Hope this helps…

I think the people above me have said it best with smartboard. I personally think it may be a bit overkill, but finding something prebuilt for what you are needing just wont happen. You are looking at some custom work there.

We are looking for a solution to the exact same thing. We are curently using analog technology, but are implementing GreenHopper (http://www.greenpeppersoftware.com/en/products/GreenHopper/) and it would be nice not to have a person operating the mouse during the daily standup meetings.

I’ve seen several monitors, and a 42″ tochdisplay, 1360 x 768, costs in the US around 4,800$ – I don’t know if that is affordable.

Keep us updated if you find something…

Smartboard is sold in Norway for about 15k NOK, including projector.
We have them at work, I am a teacher, and they should be just right for you if you can have a projector running all day… Ours are about 70 “…
