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
Mike Cohn's - Alternative Release Burndown Chart
Brad Chinn rated it a 9 on (October 22, 2008)
ScrumWorks provides a useful and intuitive agile management product that you should evaluate and consider before making your purchase decision. The agile tools available on the market today do many similar things, some better than others, but ScrumWorks offers a feature that distinguishes them from the rest: ScrumWorks appears to be one of the only, if not *the* only, product(s) to implement Mike Cohn's Alternate Release Burndown Chart. This chart is an excellent tool for estimating and projecting the release date/range for your agile project and ScrumWorks generates it for you!

ScrumWorks Pro works well for our distributed teams
John Cornell rated it a 10 on (October 21, 2008)
We have development teams in multiple locations throughout the world and all are now successfully using ScrumWorks Pro. The combination of ease of use and comprehensive documentation have allowed our teams to easily make full use of the product. Our single ScrumWorks server provides more than adequate performance for these teams and is of little burden to our administrators. Project stakeholders are able to view team progress from a single location even when those teams are distributed. All in all, we are very happy with ScrumWorks and plan to continue to expand its use within our organization.

I first tried Scrum Works Basic and thought the interface made sense and was easy to use. When my company was ready to commit to an agile tool, I recommended we try Pro. Everyone was able to get up to speed in a week or so and we’ve never looked back. It helps new employees learn the Scrum process and, for veterans, it becomes an integrated part of the process. This is an awesome management tool.
