This work proposes the identification of collaboration tools used by agile teams and the analysis of the quality of awareness support in them by responding the following research question: what is the quality of awareness support in collaborative tools used by agile teams? The research was conducted as a systematic literature review (SLR) and a survey. The SLR analyzed published papers on agile collaborative tools to identify which are the most used ones by agile teams and how to perceive them by CSCW classification. A survey was responded by 200 IT professionals to assess twelve selected collaboration tools regarding their awareness categories.
