Swarm is a collaborative software development tool designed to enhance the user experience and speed up the delivery of quality software through features like flexible reviews, code sharing, and support for multiple sites. The concept promotes teamwork by encouraging individuals to work closely together while following certain rules to avoid conflicts. Key benefits include improved collaboration across various teams and extensibility through various API options.
