• Graphical - project status is represented in an easy to understand manner
• Easy to maintain - updating user stories & tasks is simple and quick
• Preferably Open Source
• Collaborative (many editors in real time)

Contenders

	Phabricator + Google Spreadsheet	Scrumbugz + Bugzilla + Gerrit	Trello + Google Spreadsheet + Gerrit + Bugzilla
Publicly Visible	Yes	Yes	Yes
Graphical	OK	Good	Best
Easy Maintenance	Good	Good	Best
Open Source	Yes	Yes	No
Collaborative	No	No	Yes
Pros	Will replace Gerrit & Bugzilla	Creates burn-down charts automatically (supports points) Runs on top of Bugzilla so bug tracking already integrated	Requires the least amount of clicks to get anything done Creating workflows for features is trivial
Cons	Workboards truncate task titles Need to adapt project management and Features (product management) workflows to Phabricator's Task paradigm	bugs and stories are indistinguishable Need to adapt project management and Features (product management) workflows to Bugzilla's Bug paradigm	Licensed Tool
