Using Digital Tabletops to Support Distributed Agile Planning Meetings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital tabletop is an emerging technology that is being increasingly used to support group activities. Agile Planner for Digital Tabletops (APDT) is a tool that was built to support agile planning meetings. It provides interactions similar to those used in traditional pen-and-paper meetings. Previous versions of APDT were only capable of handling collocated planning meetings. In this paper, we succinctly describe the new extension of APDT that provides support for distributed planning meetings. A series of evaluations for the new version of APDT has been conducted, and the feedback tends to be positive.
