Supporting agile teams from afar as they plan projects is a challenge. In this paper, we present a planning tool, MasePlanner, which supports agile teams as they collaborate in a distributed environment during their planning meetings. Combined with an audio link, our tool supports natural interaction similar to those found in collocated agile planning environments. MasePlanner supports planning in both vertical and horizontal tabletop workspaces by allowing participants to use interaction techniques such as moving and piling of story cards. By implementing a strong index-card metaphor, the tool aims to be more closely aligned with natural environments
