Almost everyone has heard how Agile approaches achieve high productivity with a minimum of complexity. Though relatively light on process, the highly iterative and fast-moving nature of Agile projects require both disciplined execution and simple, yet sophisticated, tools. Tools help automate the communication and collaboration required to successfully execute the daily Agile development plan.
