*Agile 2009 - Making Agile a Reality*
Chicago USA, August 24 to 28, 2009

*"Tools for Agility" Track*
Producer: Michael Hüttermann, Training and Consulting
Assistant: John Smart, Wakaleo Consulting
http://www.agile2009.org/tools

The first value pair of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development
states "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools". This
means that tools have their value even in lightweight agile development
models. But in Agile development, the tools should serve the developer,
not the inverse. Using the right tools right can increase productivity
and accelerate communication and transparency enormously.

and accelerate communication and transparency enormously. We are
especially looking for submissions for Agile 2009 (Chicago, Aug 26-29)
that discuss:

* Tools for estimation, planning and task tracking
* Tools for requirement gathering and tracking and story management
* Tools for Continuous Integration
* Tools for Test Driven Development and Behaviour Driven Development
* Tools for improving code quality (e.g. code quality and code
coverage tools)
* Tools for facilitating collaborative code reviews
* Tools for Version Control Systems
* Tools for Build and Integration Management
* Tools for component tests and functional tests
* Tools for testing web applications and rich clients
* Tools and domain specific languages
* Extraordinary tools and new ways using traditional tools
* Experience reports about introduction of tools, transition to
tools and similar
* Empiric and academic research about using tools in agile software
development
* Sophisticated tools for enriching agile development process & team
motivation like Coffee or Cake ;-)

We prefer submissions discussing not only a tool itself but also show
how to use the tool in an agile way. Especially smart integrations of
different tools are welcome. Plain marketing product promotion sessions
will not be considered.

The following information should be part of your submission. The better
the understanding we get from your proposal, the better your chances are
to be included into the program.
