Due to some reasons I'm unable to use TFS scrum board, though I'm using TFS itself. Are there any tools/plugins which offer similar integration with TFS tasks? The only one I found is Scrum Power Tools, but it's in my opinion insufficient and not so good quality. Are there any alternatives to TFS scrum board?
If you are still looking, Eylean Board offers a two way integration with TFS. All the information is shared and updated in both systems, so you can use the scrum board in Eylean and have all the information updated in TFS.
Besides the scrum board itself, it allows to add various information and details to the tasks, track time and generates reports for your convenience.
Try SEP Teamworks by sep.com. I saw it somewhere recently and it looked ok.
I am prefer Work Item Manager and Project Dashboard from Telerik. I like for aggregation features, it is useful when you need review tasks of other developers.

I am currently using Pivotal Tracker and I like it for its features. The project I am working on though is basically just a hobby game project on the side (even though I plan to sell it when I am done). So while I do want to advance and work on it in a timely matter, I really don't feel like being "timed" with iterations like Pivotal Tracker does.
I really like Trac, but I don't want to host it on my home server because I don't run that server 24/7 and I have another person working on the project that doesn't have access to my server. So I want that person to be able to access the tracker at all times. So are there any project trackers like Trac that are hosted?
Thanks
It looks like SourceForge can do what you want. Free hosting with issue tracking, etc.
Check out something like Assembla. For a relatively low price, they'll have issue tracking, SVN hosting, and even a simple wiki.
I was able to find a good tracker called Acunote (http://www.acunote.com). It is really good, and free for my project requirements.

I'm looking for a web application to manage tasks (not necessary programming-oriented) for a small team. It must be easy to setup and maintain, and I don't look for an SaaS solution. It must offer file upload and mail users in case of a change. There is hundred of solutions available but most are too complex for what we want or are not "stable" (not updated since a long time, not very well programmed). i was wondering if stack overflow's folks have some recommendations...
Try:
lighthouse - http://lighthouseapp.com/
-or-
gemini - http://www.countersoft.com/home.aspx
We had a very similar requirement and after much searching we eventually decided on Redmine.
Does all that you require and more. Setup couldn't be easier if you use one of the Bitnami stacks. We went down the virtual image route as we had a VMWare server - but installers for existing platforms are also available.
I tried Basecamp some time ago but I don't need a web based solution. But it was pretty good.

Redmine is a great project management, used by many open source projects. It is also quite actively maintained and really stable.
It's worth mentioning that even though Redmine is software oriented, it can easily be used as a project management software. All you have to do is ignore all the parts about repositories and you have a full-fledged project management software.

Can someone recommend a hosted solution that answers the following requirements (I have seen other questions but none with these specific requests):
Project management with tasks, wiki, milestones
Bug tracking integrated
Collaborative - suitable for working with external developers
Subversion integration
I know Jira but it seems to be too complex and lacks on the collaboration
Thanks
We use Redmine for project collaboration and bug tracking, and I think it meets all your requirements.
CounterSoft Gemini may work for you.
The key issue is ensuring ALL team members (External or Internal) use the same tool (and stop using email!) for your project management.
Check out ]project-open[. It's an open-source project & portfolio management server that also includes a strong ticket system with dynamic fields, workflows etc. You can also integrate tickets into projects as WBA elements by including a "SLA" (service level agreement - this is specific type of project) as part of a larger projects. The SLA acts as a container for tickets, so that each project can have it's associated bug-tracker. ]po[ also support SVN integration, check http://www.project-open.org/en/package_intranet_cvs_integration for details.
Affiliation note: I'm a member of the ]po[ team.

What product or tool do you use to do Resource Capacity planning for your development team? Currently managing a large group and trying to provide visibility into my resource availability. I am creating this in MS project, but was curious if there was a better tool/solution based off your experience.
Take a look at the "Evidence-Based Scheduling" features in FogBugz 7.
We use a Scrum backlog.
It's a list of sprints -- in priority order -- people assigned to sprints and tentative schedule.
Since the users prioritize the sprints, it's very, very visible.
There's no need for MS-project; that's overkill. A simple list based on cards tacked to a bulletin board is sufficient. A spreadsheet will work, also.

Currently we use Trac to manage all of our tickets (bugs, enhancements, and new projects). It lacks a nice ability to map out the projects, releases and do time estimations. Is there a good scrum project management system that would integrate with Trac to use the tickets we are already making?
Instead of looking for something that could integrate with Trac, maybe you could use a Trac based solution. Trac has some plugins for Scrum but I'd suggest to check out Agilo which is a nice Scrum oriented and polished version of Trac. This might be one of the best options in your case.
would i be incorrect to assert that you should go through http://trac-hacks.org first and then elaborate here what, if anything, you didn't like about the plugins you found there? otherwise it's not possible to really say what is the best approach, when it is unknown whether you've scanned through the easiest paths.
I work at a company that has completely embraced agile in our engineering organization, but we've done just fine using Jira for our issue management, even though it doesn't have any specific scrum features. Our product manager keeps user stories (fleshed out with acceptance criteria) in his own organized backlog. When the team picks them up for a sprint, he creates a Jira case and we put the case number on our board, along with all of the tasks (which aren't in Jira).
When bugs or feature requests come up (reported by customer support, netops, etc.), the PM prioritizes them just like any other user story. If they're of an immediate nature, he'll put them straight onto the board, but he's hesitant to do so, knowing that's really a redirection of resources. We leave some slack in our sprints to allow for such things, but if things get to hairy, we let him know that we'll have to drop a story, or not do the bugs.
