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.
Agile Planner for Digital Tabletop
The new capabilities of APDT were designed to support activities of distributed project planning, and migrate natural behaviours from traditional settings to computer-based environments. APDT utilizes interaction features of digital tabletop to enhance group collaborations and bridge communication gaps among distributed teams. Figure 1 shows a live meeting between two groups located in two different physical spaces.
APDT allows for multimodal interaction with the digital tabletops. It implements: 1) finger touch or mouse events 2) gesture recognition, 3) handwriting recognition, and 4) voice command recognition. To support distributed collaborations, telepointers (remote mouse pointers) are used so that the finger movement of the participant at one location could be broadcasted to every other location in the meeting scenario. Story card operations, such as creating/deleting cards are also supported. APDT can be connected with other agile planning platforms. A gateway to other team applications is developed so that the XML formatted data of project meeting from APDT is easily shared by other applications. At present, APDT can communicate with IBM Jazz and Rally . We have deployed APDT on SMART Board and SMART Table. SMART Board has a 183cm x 122cm screen, employing DViT technology to support at most 2 concurrent touches. SMART Table has 55.9cm x 41.9 cm active screen area, utilizing TFIR technology to support about 40 simultaneous touches. Although we still have some issues to tackle in our solution, our initial evaluation of the distributed aspect of APDT, in controlled settings, yielded positive results. We intend to extend the study to observe real settings, and report the outcomes in the near future.
