Tools for Agility
Training and Consulting Wakaleo ConsultingThe first value pair of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development states “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”. This means that tools have their value even in lightweight agile development models. But in Agile development, the tools should serve the developer, not the inverse. Using the right tools right can increase productivity and accelerate communication and transparency enormously.
