The document discusses the imperatives of tools and engineering practices for scaling agile. It notes that when 10-15% of team members are not co-located, communication gaps can occur in requirements engineering, dependency management, integration, and more. Two types of tools are identified to help resolve these issues: collaboration tools and development accelerators. Specific tools and practices are recommended, including using video conferencing for ceremonies, application lifecycle management tools for planning, and development accelerators to break problems and accelerate code work. Benefits of adopting the right tools include increased throughput, velocity, test coverage, and more, as well as decreased cycle time, defects and failures.
