- Part of the Agile mindset is encouraging individuals and interactions over processes and tools. So right from the beginning, your Agile team is going to have a very different way of looking at their tool set. Due to the increasing popularity of Agile, there are many new software products. They've been grouped into types so that you can see samples of how each tool wants to improve your delivery. We'll start the course by seeing how to use a simple spreadsheet editor, like Microsoft Excel. Next, we'll see product management packages, such as VersionOne. These packages offer an increased feature set and with it, increased complexity. We'll also go over how to use Agile plugins for tools, such as Jira, to leverage your team's existing development environment. Finally, we'll see how a new breed of software tools are designed to scale and help you see the health of your Agile teams. This course is more than just a survey of the different features you can buy with off-the-shelf software. You'll see how each tool fits into a specific need for your Agile team. Remember, these tools should always help and not hurt your lightweight product delivery. So let's get started with Comparing Agile Software Tools.
