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.

Q: Why Skinnyboard?
We built Skinnyboard because we had an itch to scratch.
Our Agile journey has taken us from paper index cards and giant whiteboards to Basecamp API integrations. We realized that with a distributed team, we needed something “good enough” to manage our day-to-day coding tasks.
Building Skinnyboard has been a very mcluhanesque process. It’s helped us to focus on our work, inspect and adapt, and develop a precise tool to optimize our development process.
Since we’re scratching this itch, we figured other people might have the same sensation.
Our goal is to provide a tool that gets out of your way (Individuals and interactions over processes and tools )by providing very precise functionality very well.
Q: So what can I currently do with Skinnyboard?
You can:
Board Basics:
- Create a project board/sprint plan
- Create/assign/invite users
- Write and size user stories
- Create and estimate tasks from stories
- Move tasks through the process continuum until “DONE”
- Tag/customize stories and tasks
- Quickly filter stories and tasks by keyword
- Ensure Security with SSL Encryption
Analyze
- Generate a burndown at any time to see when the board tasks will be completed
- Inspect the project history with the Birds-Eye View (BeV) which provides a “back of the room” view of the board providing at-a-glance project status.
Integrate
Benefits:
- Easily prioritize work
- Always know who is working on what

- “Don’t fix what ain’t broke” – Easily integrate your existing project management/communication tools
Q: Am I secure?
Yes you are! All accounts are SSL encrypted.
Q: Why can’t I do {insert functionality request here} with Skinnyboard?
We have had some magnificent beta-testers that have signed up from across the Web and have provided us with great feedback. Significantly, the majority of feedback was with fiddly functionality issues and bugs that we were working on, not major deviations from Skinnyboard’s core focus.
That said, for the record here’s our current thinking on questions like:
* Q: How do I manage my project files and messages in Skinnyboard?
A: We use Basecamp and we link assets (infrequently) to it if required
* Q: How do I manage version control in Skinnyboard?
A: We use Beanstalk and Github.
* Q: How do I instant message with my team in Skinnyboard?
A: We use Campfire and iChat
Q: So, that’s a nice start. What’s next?
We are considering the following functionality for future updates:
- File attachments to boards, stories, tasks
- CVS integrations
- mobile apps
