Agile Tools. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.















Agile software development adoption spreads over the world. According to the latest surveys, about 70% of organizations adopt agile practices (http://www.ambysoft.com/surveys/agileFebruary2008.html) and stick with it. During the last 10 years, agile methods jumped from nowhere to the peak. Such rapid revolution demands new tools. There are many developers-focused tools appearing including JUnit, Eclipse, Cruise Control, etc. However, the project management community is less self-sufficient and unable to create new tools for the new methodology in their spare time. As a result, most companies are still using old-fashioned project management tools like MS Project or generic tools like spreadsheets for project planning and tracking.
