Software to do a frame-by-frame analysis of "One night in Paris"?

Just for that, you can go to the soapbox and read the article I just added there...

I'd only need a "D" program for that; the "CRU" wouldn't serve any purpose.

A project management site is too big?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

One idea I thought of was an agile type storyboard / backlog / planner / oh feck we forgot that type thing, but I thought it might be too big for the purposes I had. I'll thunk about that.

How about a Kanban board, or "sprint manager" for Agile development?
However, to be honest, I'm not actually sure what you're trying to accomplish.

What I am trying to get to is a sort of user story / epic to describe a problem and then to walk through the design and development decisions that leads to. I started with this as an original requirement artefact:
Requirement: We are a small software company. We produce bespoke solutions and are currently working to a very rigid Waterfall Methodology. We want to be more agile, but need a way to record our backlogs and manage our sprints.
We have multiple projects and our staff regualarly work on different clients' requirements at any time. As an example Bob does pretty much all the UI/UX work for all our software and only hands over the mundane bits to some of the juniors. There is some infrestucture stuff that we do that is shared across most of our work, but on the whole projects are self contained.
A fair proportion of our business is done on-site and so the guys need to be able to log what is happening remotely. As I see it, to start with we will need to be able to record the user stories, prioritise them and build up sprints. Once the development work starts we will need to be able to record work done and monitor progress through metrics such as velocity.
I want to then use that to show how it works in real world thinking.

I was putting something like that together with my articles on Relationship Oriented Programming[^]. There's some existing software out there (I think even Microsoft does something) but I wanted something really flexible. That for me is they key for this kind of productivity software -- it needs to be flexible -- and for that, I found that it needs to support dynamic relationships, because software development, user stories, sprints, bugs, tasks, documentation, all that, is extremely dynamic relationally. At least, if you want your team to also be flexible and able to respond quickly, the tools you use need to support that kind of work -- the tools can't get in the way.
Another interesting thing is visualization -- I find software development to be a living, dynamic thing, and so often, it's neat to see the relationships in a fluid, dynamic manner, and I find Force Directed Graphs a great visualization of that fluidity.
Not sure any of the above helps, but I guess I would start with how you express dynamic relationships and content.

Financial Account management, ala Mint or Billguard (not as extensive, mind you, just something basic)...
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

How about a sports league management system?
You need to enter teams, assign them to divisions (maybe in a season), pair them up in matches, record the results, display match results & league tables, and as an extension, manage promotion/relegation between seasons. Then think about cup fixtures that are played, but don't affect the league standings.
Team & fixtures can either be added singly or imported from a file.
You can decide to leave chunks of this out to adjust the size of the problem, or even add them as time goes on to demonstrate agility .
Regards, Stewart

That's a fairly good idea. I've yet to see a decent package that meets the need of a Little League Baseball division.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

I was reading a CodeProject article and noticed that it was marked as deleted; I was surprised as the article was good and looked at the author:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=2757697[^]
Best article on C#/Database, MVP with 52,752 points.
So, I'm wondering, can there be a good reason for someone to delete his good articles?
(except, of course, account hijacking)

This[^] reply (and the thread) should answer your question.
Not sure if it's a good idea to reference that thread from the Lounge. Please nuke this message if you want. 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

That's quite the most impressive dummyspit I've seen in a good while.
"It's been published for one month and it only got 38 Upvotes" (paraphrasing a bit) was my favourite - I wish most my articles would get that many votes in total.

I like that he has to insist that "the voters are not my friends"

It's probably wrong to make fun of the English of an English-as-a-second-language speaker, but it almost sounds like the 38 up-voters did him a disservice.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

After all the fuss went to read the article...What surprises me that so many people found it good! How that? Isn't CP a site 'for those who code'?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I have little time to spare, so I skip articles that seem not to bring me any novelty; and I assume that there are many like me; many asp.net/security experts didn't bother to read the article so it passed as ok for the people that are in the process of learning.
