• Learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow with Sensei:

Fun and effective retrospectives using Sensei for distributed agile teams. Sensei?guides teams through the entire retrospective and times team members to be prompt.

• Dream big, start small, but most importantly start with scrumwise😕

• Plan for?what is difficult while it is easy, do what is great while it is small with mingle: ?

Mingle from thoughtworks is a great tool that guides you through scrum. It integrates with Github and the plus version has program management and planning features which is an afterthought among most tools that I have come across.
