Description

One of the core agile principles "Individual and Interactions over Processes and Tools" is often easily misinterpreted and there is a belief that agile projects do not need tools. However, the appropriate use of right tools is certainly bound to improve agility and this is also dependant to a great extent on the individuals who use these tools and how they use the tools. This session will help to redfine the Agile principle "Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools" and focus on introducing various tools that can help enhance agility at different stages of a project along with examples and case studies from my projects. A wide range of tools covering the areas of requirements management, planning, collaboration, automation, estimation, reviews , development and testing will be discussed. Special emphasis would be given on tools that can help maintain agility while operating as a distributed team.
