Image
1.Usage of tool : Whenever team decides to go for Agile .Team  decides and hunts for tool for Agile implementation. To be fair enough agile is more like a methodology, approach rather than tool. Yes there are tools which simplifies Agile implementation but as an Agile team is not mandatory 2.Agile Manifesto:- There are 4 principles present and Agile methodology preaches for successful Agile teams but most of team misunderstand the principles like they do not do documentation, they do not follow any processes and tools.

Agile manifesto says ·          Individuals and Interactions  more than processes and tools ·          Working Software  more than comprehensive documentation ·          Customer Collaboration  more than contract negotiation ·   ...

Estimation is a rough calculation of work that can be done.So traditionally in software industry there were many methods for estimating the work or a activity.The estimation techniques like COCOMO,Function point were mostly used during previous times for estimating tasks.These were all statistically techniques and formulas were used in order to come to a rough value.

Previously kabbadi was played in sand and and open air and for now it is played in closed arena and on mat.Pro kabbadi is in its 5 installment and buzz and hype is amazing among audiences.
