I'm a fan of whiteboard and sticky notes!

Distributed scaling is a little difficult, you have to set up a webcam and hire an intern to move things around, but it's probably still cheaper than a lot of enterprise solutions.



I legitimately used this method (updated three times a day) via a photo posted to a spot on sharepoint in the military.

People LOVED it. Worked amazingly well, was easy to hand off if I was out, etc.


On an old team that did this, we joked that the cleaning staff had as much control of the roadmap as the product managers. The cheap offbrand sticky notes didn't stick very well, so after one or two status changes, or just being on the wall for a while, they tended to fall to the floor. If we were lucky they'd get stuck somewhere at random, and not just thrown out.


This is honestly a solid solution, and one that actually feels more "connected" with your coworkers than a website without dark mode, to determine your current sprints or whatever methodology you use.
