Index card generator - version 2!
An excel-only index card generator for Scrum product backlogs
Many people use a spreadsheet to house their Scrum Product Backlog. That works quite fine. However, during sprint planning meetings it is usually much more effective to use physical index cards. See my book Scrum and XP from the Trenches for the reasoning behind this.
Here's a simple tool that generates printable index cards in A5 format directly from your Excel-based product backlog. Thanks Stefan Nijenhuis for making this available!
There is nothing to install. This is simply an Excel document containing a product backlog and a "generate index cards" button.
For more info, see the readme inside the document.
This version requires only Microsoft Excel. The previous version required both Excel and Access.
Update (2008-01-04)
Here's another excel-based index card generator from Claudio Gambetti. Contains a few extra features such as tracks (a.k.a. themes) and components, as mentioned in my book. You choose your flavor. Thanks for contributing this Claudio!
