Ask HN: Looking for a shared overview / task app for teams, native and live.

I've used countless project, task, and ticket tracking systems and continue to love what I'm using right now (Lighthouse). I've also attempted to integrate Yammer into my teams day to day with mixed success. What I'd really like is something that does the following (while complimenting the ticket tracking system we're using): Allows everyone on the team to see what everyone else is working on at a glance. No scrolling through a feed (any discussion about what they are working on would happen after a click away from the default view). I would also be able to set what they are working on as the product manager which might simply be a reference to a ticket number in Lighthouse. Since this would be a real-time application it would be nice if the team could have instant chats as well, at any time. Why would any of this matter if our ticket tracking system is working fine? Well, not everyone on the team is a developer and they tend to stay away from Lighthouse unless they really have to log in. Designers, marketing folks, and the higher ups still want to know what's going on and in some cases it's my job to assign them tasks. I can't expect them to use a tool that's geared towards developers, especially because all they want is a very fast view of what's happening now. I really hope I'm describing a tool that already exists. My hope is there is a native Mac/Windows application that supports this, but browser based would work I suppose.
