The best thing about Pivotal is that everything is on one page. I remember hour-long triage sessions with Jira, moving bug fix targets between releases. Page reloads are a timesuck. On Pivotal, there's one page with three colums:
- Current has everything you're likely to get done in the current iteration, based on the team's velocity.
- Backlog is the "nice to have, but probably next week" column.
- Icebox is where we queue up bugs for upcoming releases.
The problem with bug trackers, of course, is that switching costs are huge, so I won't recommend that you switch right now. But keep this one in mind for your next project.

It looks good, but you have to admit that "queue up bugs for upcoming releases" is not the best choice of words (I mean, it is good to be prepared, but most people count on the bugs to arrive spontaneously, without needing to hoard them :-)
How in the world they can build all this and not tell how much it will cost me ?
