FogBugz helps teams work together by tracking, prioritizing, and coordinating the thousands of small tasks a development team has to do

What Company Is Offering:
FogBugz helps teams work together by tracking, prioritizing, and coordinating the thousands of small tasks a development team has to do.FogBugz helps you make better software. It’s web based, so everyone on the team always sees the whole picture. Feature requests, customer email, bugs, even high level design discussions are instantly searchable and trackable.

How It Works:
FogBugz encourages you to make a very detailed list of specific tasks: what functions you’re going to implement, what code you’re going to change, algorithms you need to implement, etc. Each task can be assigned to developers and tracked individually.

Entering work items into FogBugz is easier than using a text editor. You just click “Add Case” and then enter your list of work items, hitting enter after each one. Hitting enter submits the case to the FogBugz server in the background without interrupting your typing. After you’ve entered the list of cases, with one click you can edit them all—to assign them to someone to work on, set priorities, etc.

Unique Features:
1.FogBugz includes a wiki to keep all your documentation in one place. It’s an easy-to-use team writing system you’ll use for functional and technical specifications, design documents, knowledge base articles, and even lunch menus—just about anything you write and share as a team. It lets the whole team edit documents right in their web browsers, using a WYSIWYG editor just like a word processor. Anyone can edit any document (even simultaneously) and FogBugz merges and tracks the changes.
2.FogBugz displays a probability curve of ship dates, showing you the probability that you’ll ship on any given date. You can find out how realistic that official date is, so you can tell your boss with a straight face: “Yes, we can ship on time. With 4% probability.
