I really hope that you guys do end up using Fast Track in your book. We really want Fast Track to become a model application for TurboGears developers. In my opinion, Fast Track is less of a project management application, and more of a communication tool. We found that all of the things that are associated with "project management tools" were MS Word templates, charts, graphs, and other complexities. When we started moving toward agile processes and were still using these kinds of things, it didn't make any sense! Instead, we use a commercial web app for holding our user stories and iteration tracking, and allow Fast Track to be used to communicate from the bottom up, so that everyone from the developers to senior management to sales people will be on the same page when it comes to project status. Anyway, I hope you enjoy Fast Track! Thanks for the props Mark! I really hope that you guys do end up using Fast Track in your book.
