This has been used to track daily status for each sprint, sprint burndowns, track stories and tasks. This is a no-frills just bare bones tool for managing the work. It takes a small amount of setup. The current release of this excel requires very little explanation (maybe :)  but, if you need help please ask.

The Excel-based tool is for managing the work in an agile product. It tracks and manages both stories and tasks as well as work remaining to complete those tasks. It supports tracking product, release and iteration at the workload burndown. Start using the tool by loading the known Product Backlog into the Product Backlog worksheet and then work through your sprint planning to load to a given sprint. These Product Backlog items can be derived from the planning effort or from interviews with customers and the Product Owner. These Product Backlog items represent the prioritized functional and non-functional requirements for the system to be built. Or from a "Managing the Work in an Agile Project" it represents the work we think we might have to do. Some details about how to derive and estimate the Product Backlog are in the Scrum methodology.  

We are happy to provide this for your use. If you are satisfied then please let us know and if not please let us know.
