Easybacklog

Simplistic, but extremely easy to use web based tool for Scrum. You can create backlogs (projects in fact), fill them with user stories, plan sprint and track progress via burn down chart.

Usability is great. This tool is really fast and usable. Everything is quite intuitive. Backlog has themes and stories, so you have 2-levels hierarchy. However, story format is predefined "As a [user] I want to [action] so I can [benefit]". While this format may be OK for stories, it is very restrictive and you'll have some strange feelings trying to create a bug.

One missing feature is almost a show stopper: you can't assign things to people. Yes, it is impossible to assign a story to a developer. As a workaround, you can put a person name into Comment field, but that is not very usable.

In general, this tool works great for personal project and for extremely small teams (2-3 people). Any serious project management would be a nightmare without proper assignments and notifications.

Pros		Cons
Usability is very good Hierarchical backlog Good burn down and burn up charts		Poor functionality Can't assign stories to people!
