  In recent years, Agile methods have continued to grow into a popular means of
modulating team productivity, even garnering a presence in non-software
development related industries. The uptake of Agile methods has been driven by
their flexibility, making them more suitable for many teams when compared to
traditional approaches. However, an inevitable expectation for an Agile
workflow is a higher level of change and uncertainty regarding requirements and
tasks, which can ultimately have impacts on team member emotional states. The
extent of such emotion impacts has motivated our research into the manner in
which emotional states evolve in an Agile setting, along with whether such
emotions can be accurately measured. To this end, we have developed
Emotimonitor, a Trello power-up designed to capture information on emotions of
team members as they relate to their technical tasks through a user-friendly
interface. Emotimonitor will better enable team members to express their
emotional states through emoji reactions on Trello cards, while also providing
team leaders with a dashboard summarising these reactions as visualisations and
statistical data. It is extensible and potentially provides an outlet for team
members operating in Agile environments to better express their emotional
states.
