An Agile Tool for a Distributed Team




For the last 3 months I have been lucky to work in an environment that is Agile. My job requires lots of small projects and tasks and my job title is clear but my work is every changing. I like new challenges and creative tasks.

Recently our small team has been using http://cardmeeting.com/ an online tool to add ideas, set up tasks, and keep track of what the whole is doing and what still needs to be done. We decided to use this tool because of how much we are a distributed team most of the week. I would rather be all together in one place. However, this is not possible for the near future. What I like about this tool is that it works just a like a physical wall with sticky notes that can be placed wherever you like. It also expands as required.

I am looking for more tools to make our agile practices more streamlined and efficient. Any suggestions or ideas?
