Which one? Agilo+Trac+SVN or Redmine+RedmineBacklogs+SVN

Question

I'm trying to setup an agile system (SCRUM) for our small team. I know that I can use the following two options:

1- Agilo + Trac + SVN

2- Redmine + RedmineBacklogs + SVN

Which one is better? Is there any other free setup?

Turns out the best is also the cheapest. Master this then pick tools to that will get in the way.

Note Cards + Big Wall + Markers + [Any SCC]

What does SCC stand for? – andho May 08 '11 at 16:34
Synonymous with VCS, SCM. Source Control. Not sure the full acronym. Source Code Control maybe. – Ryan Cromwell May 13 '11 at 01:10

I recommend the ChiliProject fork of Redmine. The code is currently almost the same but the long-term support is going to be with ChiliProject.

I can't agree. Upstream Redmine has been very actively developed recently. If by "support" you mean paid support, that's another issue. – Ebrahim Mohammadi Apr 05 '11 at 13:59

I've not used any of the SCRUM methodologies but for the project management I would favour Redmine over Trac.

Redmine handles multiple projects and sub projects far nicer than Trac. It's also a lot easier to set up work flows and specific roles.

There also seems to be more momentum behind Redmine with frequent updates and a reasonable pool of plugins. Although that said be aware that there is a fork of Redmine called ChiliProject, https://www.chiliproject.org/ set up to "resolve management bottlenecks".

Which one? Agilo+Trac+SVN or Redmine+RedmineBacklogs+SVN
