Net Promoter Score Definition
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is an attempt to distill into a single value, what users of a company’s products think of it. Users are asked a single question along the lines of “How likely are you to recommend this product to a friend or coworker?”, which is the question used by the UserStories.com website. A product’s NPS is determined by subtracting the percentage of people unlikely to recommend the product (0-6) from those likely to do so (9-10). A more detailed description including examples is also available.

Product Reviews
Outstanding Product
Stevie Borne rated it a 10 on (April 28, 2009)
VersionOne is easy to use and has so many incredible features at your fingertips, right out of the box. The tool provides so much information by default, we haven't had a need to do any customization. Taking advantage of the hosted model saves my company time and money in maintenance and we haven't had any issues with this arrangement. After having personally used 2 of the major competiting tools, VersionOne is the clear winner in my mind. I can't imagine using another tool to manage/plan/track my agile projects.
Very nice tool
Rene Rosendahl rated it a 9 on (December 15, 2008)
KBB looked at various Scrum tools at the end of 2007 and brought in two vendors for demos and evaluation. We decided to go through a trial with V1 after which we went and acquired the product (local installation, not hosted). (We presented on this at the Agile 2008 conference; see http://www.renerosendahl.com/docs/Migrating%20From%20SharePoint%20to%20a%20Better%20Scrum%20Tool%20-%20small.pdf). We now have about 200 users on the system and for the most part our users like it. The tool is intuitive, flexible and supports the most common (and some not so common) Scrum practices. Major new features get added every quarter and the product is actively evolving. Like every product, there are areas that are stronger than others, but overall I think this is a great tool for Agile development teams.
V1 Works Well for Distributed Teams
Gary Marcos rated it a 8 on (October 22, 2008)
In 2007 I evaluated multiple Scrum tools for a start-up with geographically distributed teams. Several tools were eliminated because they could not support the concept of multiple Scrum teams. V1 was robust, easiest to install (SaaS), and was the easiest to learn. V1 was used successfully for multiple sprints (until the start-up went kaput). Note that I do not work for V1.
