Scrumdohttp://www.scrumdo.com/

More focused on product development than consulting, it doesn't have time trackingand it's not as open as we'd like it to be.

We love some of its features and its quick UI.

Mutuated from scrumdo, allow a higher level planning that is useful to "get the big picture" when managing big projects.

Could also be used to present the customer with a more familiar "waterfall-like" planning.
