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.
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.
You can:
Board Basics:
Analyze
Integrate
Benefits:
Yes you are! All accounts are SSL encrypted.
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?
Our roadmap looks something like this:

We’ve come up with the “buck a board” model because we believe that a skinnyboard represents valuable information both in the present (as a collaboration tool for getting work done) and in the future (as a historical reference to past performance for the purposes of continuous improvement).
Time is the commodity we value most. A Skinnyboard, in combination with the analysis reports helps teams optimize their time today (burndown) and in the future (bird’s-eye). We also believe in paying for services (software or otherwise) that optimize our time.
We used Skinnyboard (in it’s various iterations) internally for over 9 months, and we have accumulated over 50 boards of real-world projects (i.e. “software customers paid for”) that we constantly refer back to get a retrospective sense of the “size” of things and our past velocities. This time machine approach helps us to quickly match “this task is like that task from ‘project x’” and be more effective in our planning.
We provide 3 types of plans, which are basically buckets of boards. You can have as many tasks or users as you wish, and you can graduate up or down through the plans if you need to.
| Plan Type | Cost per month | Number of Boards | Number of Users |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-SML | $0.00 | 1 | unlimited |
| Small | $15.00 | 15 | unlimited |
| Medium | $50.00 | 50 | unlimited |
| Large | $150.00 | unlimited | unlimited |
