With Plangle we commited ourselves to
We depend on JIRA Agile which is a very well built and widely used plugin, we re-use its settings and vocabulary but do not obey some of the artificial restrictions, like "Stories can not be estimated while they are in a Sprint"
It is important to highlight here that these are not how you should do things, it is how we do things and how they work for us. However if you are not completely satisfied with your agile tools/practices you may find good ideas here about how to control this chaos called "Software Development".
No, no matter what you have heard until now, Agile is NOT chaotic, Software Development is, Agile is about trying to control it, just like any other project management approaches.
The main point why we prefer Agile over any other methodologies is its dedication to measure progress based on real achievements and giving project forecasts based on real data.
