Card Walls for Organizing Your Work

ThoughtWorks Mingle makes it trivially easy to organize your personal work using 2-D card walls. We introduced them specifically to handle SCRUM projects. Yet they are flexible enough to do lots more. Here’s my personal “to do” list organized by project (rows) and timing (columns). Individual work items are in the cells and color-coded by type (story, task, etc.). It took me less than a minute to produce this. (Apologies for smudging the details, but my employer gets funny about disclosing proprietary information. Smile.)
