We use JIRA onDemand and have purchased the JIRA Agile add on - we love it but we do have one small niggle.

We understand that Scrum performs best when you have physical boards and co-located teams, we aren't in that position. We are globally distributed over multiple timezones and our team members perform their Daily Scrum via Skype or Google Hangouts etc and from experience it seems that many companies are doing the same thing - Scrum is going distributed.

One thing we have realised is the importance of the team being able at a glance see how their Sprint is going - and if we had a physical board we would be able to easily tell how many "stickies" were either in progress, or to - do.

Now with the Active Sprint view - it does give that information - but you have to scroll up and down for it, and it's hard to get that "big but quick glance picture".

We have experimented with other tools such as RealTimeBoard - that has a great zoom and the teams felt that using that tool it bridged the gap between the virtual board and a physical board. However JIRA is better at managing a backlog than RealTimeBoard with all it's filters, searching, tagging, bug raising etc so we have stuck with it.

I would love it if the Active Sprint view was effectively a canvas that you could scroll, pan, and zoom in/out on (though I appreciate that it's a biggy... .

Keep it up.

Thanks
