Does Greenhopper substitutes a whiteboard? what are your views?

Would you say that a whiteboard is complementary to Greenhopper? or Greenhopper must substitute a whiteboard?

[Colin Goudie · Accepted solution]

My take is depends on your team size and if you are collocated.

Whiteboards are great because

1. EVERYONE has the same view
2. Easy for anyone to access
3. BIG and VISIBLE

They are bad when

1. Team isn't collocated
2. or they are located in some managers office etc..
3. Aren't great for tracability

GreenHopper helps a long way in making whiteboards redundant, especially with larger and larger monitors/tvs now.

It lacks a bit in the 'same view for everyone' category although the Rapid Board has fixed that
