I just noticed that, according to the tool’s publishers Danube Technologies, it’s become an increasingly popular download. From a recent press release:

The company has seen more than 10,000 software professionals and development teams register for ScrumWorks Basic during January and February alone, marking a 60 percent increase in unique registrations for Basic compared to the same time period last year.

I’m always happy to see the tool that my team uses grow its user base, but this dramatic spike in usage got me thinking. Is this uptick in registrations simply a reflection of the current economy? That is, with organizations scrambling to make cost-cutting changes, are more teams turning to freeware solutions? Or is this news indicative of the arrival of Scrum within the agile landscape? Or maybe it’s a combination of both. Certainly, it’s a testament to the value of ScrumWorks Basic, but what do you think? Have you or your teams been switching to freeware solutions of late? What do you make of this trend?
