Agilefant is a tool for managing agile software development activities, such as: projects, iterations, products, releases, and backlogs.
Agilefant brings together the perspectives of long-term product and release planning and project portfolio management.
Main features:
Backlog management:
- manage your development work with backlogs
- backlog items may have effort estimates, priorities and responsibles
Product management:
- group your backlog items using themes
- set planned sizes for future projects and iterations in terms of effort
- assign themes for future projects and iterations and set relative spending
- get a quick view of your products roadmap
Project management:
- assign users to projects
- set weekly overhead for projects
- communicate the status of your project (red/yellow/green)
- get an overview of progress through burndown graph and metrics
Iteration management:

- get an overview of progress through burndown graph and metrics
Resource management:

- see who are involved in projects despite that they have NOT been assigned to them
- adjust weekly overhead from projects on an individual basis
- define project types
Daily work view:
- see all the items assigned to someone across different iterations and projects
- get an overview of someones total workload for the weeks ahead

Timesheets:

Enhancements
- Renovation of the iteration view (give us feedback at the forum!)
- Calendar view to daily work view for browsing spent effort
- Renamed Overhead as Baseline load
- Renamed existing project statuses green, yellow and red
- Added new project statuses grey and black
Terminology changed to match the concepts in Scrum:
- Iteration goal =>Story
- Backlog item in products and projects => Story
- Backlog item in an iteration => Task
Small UI and usability tweaks:
- Quick enter => save & close (instead of save)
- Improved interval selection in timesheets
- Improved displaying long backlog descriptions
