These low-fidelity tools work together to help teams stay focused and self-manage their projects. The need to support distributed teams and team members makes the physical Cardwall impractical and teams are therefore migrating towards digital story management tools. We conducted field studies of 8 Agile teams using digital cardwalls and performed qualitative data analysis to understand patterns of usage and user needs. We identify issues to address in the design of digital cardwalls.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stevenson Gossage, Judith M.
