Understanding approval rating of agile project management tools using Twitter

The role of managing a software project can be extremely complicated, requiring many teams and organizational resources. Many people are acknowledging that Agile development is helpful to business, with an high increase over the last years in the number of people who believe that Agile helps companies to complete projects faster. Since there is a multitude of available tools that supports Agile methods, in this position paper we tried to understand which tools are most looked for using Web Search media, most mentioned and most appreciated through Social media. Furthermore, we applied automated Sentiment Analysis on shared short messages of users on Twitter, one of the most popular social networks, in order to analyze automatically developers' opinions, sentiments, evaluations and attitudes.
