Backpackit: If you want to see the future of project management, done with SCRUMs, in an emergent environment - take a look at Backpack. It's elegant, easy to use, and very useful. Right now, it has mainly a consumer focus, but it's business applications could be tremendous. The most amazing this about Backpack, might be the way it was built, using Ruby on Rails. Considering the recent memos from Bill Gates and Ray Ozzie, I am convinced Microsoft has taken a hard look at Backpack, realized how easy it was to build, and become seriously concerned about their future.
