Does anyone know of a collaborative virtual sticky note software?

It really like Daniel Cook's method of sticky notes for design docs... http://www.lostgarden.com/2008/12/post-it-note-design-docs.html<div><br></div><div>But I'd rather use virtual sticky notes that appear on the desktops of my team (so the sticky notes are collaborative).</div><div><br></div><div>Is there such a program perhaps? (I do you think this is a good idea)</div>

  • Are you looking specifically for the notes to show up on your desktop? Because there seem to be quite a few web-based services offering collaborative post-it notes for free.<br>
  • At our firm we use <a href="http://trello.com/">Trello</a>, which may be suitable for what are looking for
  • I use 
    <a href="https://www.zoho.com/projects/">https://www.zoho.com/projects</a> . It's not virtual sticky note software per se, however, it does have todo-lists that you can mark as complete when they are done (pretty much like a to-do). You can easily see, which ones are active, and which are completed (with a simple filter box). If you feel like a bit more effort, you can assign certain team mates and due dates (I don't do this though, the best thing is you only need to do this if you want to!)<div><br></div><div>Other features on this site that are useful is forums, for collaboration as a team. There is also a project wiki, which I use do informally document particularly deep sections of my game. I also use the wiki to list bugs, and ideas for future development.</div><div><br></div><div>If you try this out, just choose the free option (of course). It has all the features I listed above.</div>
  • Trello looks interesting... I'd love it to be a bit more invasive (like forcing my team to see the notes rather than passively allowing them to check for notifications... but that might have something to do with my delusions about good management style)
  • Forcing others to do stuff is almost always/ always almost a good idea

    Trello looks like an awesome tool for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban">Kanban</a> agile methodology.<div><br></div><div>[Edit] no wonder actually.  I thought I recognised the guy in the video.  That's <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/">Joel Spolsky</a> from Fog Creek Software</div>

  • Trello does look pretty cool.
    May look into giving it a go sometime.
  • FYI, for a project we're working on (at work) we've decided to try Trello and see how it goes. We won't be sticking to strict Kanban, but we're going to have a backlog, progress, review and done columns.

    Will report back in time
