Agile software development comprises various approaches to software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customer(s)/end user(s).[1] It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continual improvement, and it encourages flexible responses to change

Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Instead of betting everything on a "big bang" launch, an agile team delivers work in small, but consumable, increments. Requirements, plans, and results are evaluated continuously so teams have a natural mechanism for responding to change quickly.

Agile is one of the world’s most widely used and recognized software development framework.
Most of the organizations have adopted it in some form or the other but there is still a long way to go in the maturity of their adoption programs. The sole aim of this series of tutorials is to onboard technology and non-technology professionals into the Agile World.

The benefits of agile development are well-known:
Better teamwork with greater productivity
Working software created more quickly and efficiently
Consistent delivery
Higher quality solutions
Improved customer satisfaction
Yet each team’s journey toward achieving these desired results will vary. Some people will adopt Scrum and other simple approaches using open source tools, others will automate and implement a disciplined agile approach, and still others will require more extensive agile lifecycle management solutions. Agile practices need to be adjusted to meet the goals, needs and unique environment of each team.
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management software has helped thousands of companies worldwide improve their agility with software best practices, tools and services—including training and coaching—tailored to support their evolving agile practices. IBM understands that a single-size solution does not fit all.
This guide is designed to help you choose the agile tools that will help support your needs today while positioning your team for success as your agile implementation grows.

What are Enterprise Agile Planning (EAP) Tools?
Enterprise agile planning (EAP) tools help organizations to make use of agile practices at scale to achieve enterprise-class agile development. This is achieved by supporting practices that are business-outcome-driven, customer-centric, collaborative and cooperative, as well as with continual stakeholder feedback. These tools represent an evolution from project-centric agile tools and traditional application development life cycle management (ADLM) tools. The majority of products in the EAP tools market play into the overall ADLM product set, acting as a hub for the definition and management of work-item tracking.

The mechanical engineering product development process has flaws that present themselves to any engineer that has ever engaged in this workflow. We can get stuck making last minute changes to a product when new features are added. It can be hard to track exactly how much progress is being made between broadly spaced deliverables. Finding tasks for every member of the team throughout the entire project blueprint can be difficult. We accept these flaws in the design process as standard – but could there be a better way?
