Squore, the Actionable Dashboard to Combine Agility and Quality
Agile methods are primarily recognized for easing balance between cost, time schedule and functionalities, and for the implementation of best practices such as short iterations, daily meeting, collaborative project planning or continuous integration.
However, the necessary commitments on code quality are not forgotten, and attention to quality is reflected by practices such as pair programming, Test Driven Development, refactoring, or code review.
