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. But that is not what Agile preaches .To explain it more in precise way.
