Agile tools for agile projects

When running agile projects in agencies, internally the project management role is often a team lead role, or Scrum Master, facilitating the team, obtaining resources for it, and protecting it from problems. Externally, the project management role is managing the client’s (or product owner’s) interface with the project, ensuring everyone is on the same page with regards to requirements, prioritization, budgets, and timeline as well as reporting.
