The real minimalistic, agile approach is a magnetic whiteboard with index cards. I'm not trying to be snarky here. A whiteboard has high resolution (300+ dpi), tons of real estate (8 feet by 4 feet), a haptic interface (you can carry the cards back to your desk), and constantly broadcasts status information. Why people would sacrifice that for some crappy 30" monitor mystifies me. (Okay, it doesn't really mystify me. It's necessary for non-colocated teams. But with rare exceptions, that just makes electronic "agile" tools a palliative cure.)
