Agile Tools and Technologies Question Bank 

Q: What are Agile tools and why are they used?

Agile tools are software applications designed to help teams manage and track Agile projects. They essentially provide a digital workspace enabling teams to collaborate, plan, and execute projects efficiently by facilitating transparency, inspection, and adaptation, which are crucial for handling changing requirements and delivering value quickly. They typically include features for managing backlogs, creating user stories, sprint planning, task assignment, progress visualization, reporting and analytics to support data-driven decisions. 

The choice of tool should align with the specific needs, scale, and preferences of the Scrum Team and the organization as a whole. Consider factors such as team size, budget, existing software infrastructure, and the complexity of respective team’s efforts as well as the interfaces required for other internal software teams and tools when selecting the most suitable tool. Some popular tools are Jira, Confluence, Miro and so on.
