About The Project

XPCards is a standalone application to manage eXtreme Programming projects.

"Manage" means:

• Play the "planning game"
  • Define user stories.
  • Translate user stories into tasks, affect members to tasks, evaluate them.
  • Create iterations and choose stories and tasks for iterations.
• Execute the plans:
  • Update progress of implementation and compare it with automatically calculated theory progress.
• Exchange the plans:
  • Export/import plans with external planning systems (currently xpweb.sourceforge.net system planned)
  • Live connections to the external systems (currently xpweb.sourceforge.net system planned)
  • Task exchange with IDE systems (currently eclipse.org planned)

Implementation notes:

• Eclipse SWT/JFace GUI Library
• JDBC connections to the external databases
• HTTP/SOAP Clients for the live connections
• IDE Plug-ins for the IDE Integration
