## Abstract

Editor Introduction: Today software engineering is characterized by two strong trends: agile and distributed. Both together are increasingly demanded and challenge teams and projects due to lack of discipline, insufficient transparency, agile "ping pong" and thus overheads and rework. Authors Fabio Calefato and I describe current technologies and tools for agile collaboration. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective column authors about this column and the technologies you want to know more about. -- Christof Ebert
