Common tools for Agile practices
To support Agile methodologies, InnovateTech has integrated several tools into its workflows:

Jira : Used to track tasks, monitor team progress, and visualize workflows. Jira's customizable dashboards make it easy to manage iterative cycles.
Trello : Ideal for teams that need simple, visual task management. Trello boards have allowed InnovateTech’s smaller teams to track short-term goals.
Slack : Enhanced communication between teams with instant messaging and integration features for real-time updates.
Specific tools and artifacts in Scrum
Scrum practices have benefited from specialized tools and artifacts:

Burn-Down Charts : Provided a visual austria mobile database of sprint progress, helping teams stay on track.
