ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the types of tools that are used on agile projects. These tools enhance a team’s performance and improve communication and collaboration. Simple tools rather than those that are complex are better suited for agile projects. It is a well-known fact that tools which take a considerable amount of time to master are often considered to be confusing and complex. The agile framework is based on simplicity and tools that have a negligible amount of complexity are more desirable. Our discussion begins with agile project management tools at a very high level. The author does not endorse or recommend any particular type of tool and is merely providing information as to how to select the best agile project management tool based on organizational requirements.
