With Agilesoup mobile, you can manage multiple projects when you’re away from your desk. Key features include:

It gives me great pleasure to finally release the latest chapter of AgileSoup (http://www.agilesoup.com), a new and innovative Agile Project Management tool that makes managing your daily tasks faster, easier and more efficiently.

The system itself has been around for a little over a year, mostly under Beta but today we are proud to release a fully versioned application.

Although the tool is geared toward Agile Product Management methodologies the application can quite easily double as a light weight Project Management system. Over the coming months we’ll be actively integrating new and improved features, features often requested by you the user.

For existing users of agilesoup.com you will notice a change to the website design. Many of the common elements remain in place however we have included and will continue to add a plethora of awesome tools to keep you in the loop regarding upgrades, improvements and general banter surrounding the Agile Project Management arena.

If you have any feedback please drop us a line and remember you can check out all the latest news and events over at Twitter.

Cheers,
The AgileSoup Team
