If somebody says to me, I want Agile Tools, I sort of think they are missing the point. The tools should come after the philosophy has really been learned and imbibed. Ideally, the tools should be pretty custom, should respect the fact that every situation is unique. On the other hand, it gets me thinking that maybe there are tools which could fit into that request: tools for quality. If you do, say, Scrum but don't have the engineering chops, you are going to - basically - suck at hitting your sprints. What are all the underlying, fundamental aspects of Quality that have to be met to really do Agile well? What tools can be made available there? QuickCheck, ADD, BDD, cloud-based concurrency tests suites, systems like IMVU's push-to-production-with-no-fear, what else?
