Agile working is hot! To structure this way of working, thinking and organizing, useful tools have been released. These Agile and Scrum Tools make it easier to execute projects Agile. Choosing a tool is not easy. There are many offerings on the market. But Scrum Academy gives you a hand and lists the 3 most used Agile and Scrum Tools for you:

For the starters among us… Trello and Slack

Scrum in Trello is incredibly useful! Trello is what they call a workflow manager and has a free version with unlimited lists, cards, members, checklists and boards. Perfect for your Scrum board. The free version may look a bit boring, but it really works perfectly for beginning Scrum teams.

It is, of course, expandable to a paid version. Then it costs 9.99 per user, per month and this is billed annually. You can then set up your Scrum board even more optimally. You can also expand it with the so-called Power Ups: features and links, including the link with Slack.

Slack is a messaging tool, a nice business chat app. You can use a free version with 5GB storage and 10,000 messages. This is perfect for beginning Agile fans. Slack is easy to use and – like Trello – has an easy-to-use app.
