• virtual task board (to show which user stories in the current sprint / sprint plan, release plan)
• burndown chart
• backlog (prioritized list of user stories)
• velocity chart
• Gantt chart / iteration timeline
I found at least 2 tools that fulfill those criteria:
• Icescrum http://www.icescrum.org/
• Agilo http://www.agile42.com/cms/pages/agilo/
Agilo has a better documentation than Icescrum and also offers integration with trac & svn, but you need to pay for Pro license for using the virtual board (& many other handy functions), about 800 euros for 10 users/year. So finally I decide to use the Icescrum instead. Icescrum is just a web application (a war file) that you can install for example in Tomcat. You can testdrive the icescrum here: http://www.icescrum.org/demo/
