Rather than deciding whether or not to get involved in global
sourcing, many companies are facing decisions about whether or not
to apply agile methods in their distributed projects. These
companies are often motivated by the opportunities to solve the
coordination and communication difficulties associated with global
software development. Yet while agile principles prescribe close
interaction and co-location, the very nature of distributed
software development does not support these prerequisites. Smite,
Moe, and Agerfalk structured the book into five parts. In
"Motivation" the editors introduce the fundamentals of agile
distributed software development and explain the rationale behind
the application of agile practices in globally distributed software
projects. " Transition" describes implementation strategies,
adoption of particular agile practices for distributed projects,
and general concepts of agility. "Management" details practical
implications for project planning, time management, and customer
and subcontractor interaction. "Teams" discusses agile distributed
team configuration, effective communication and knowledge transfer,
and allocation of roles and responsibilities. Finally, in the
"Epilogue" the editors summarize all contributions and present
future trends for research and practice in agile distributed
development. This book is primarily targeted at researchers,
lecturers, and students in empirical software engineering, and at
practitioners involved in globally distributed software projects.
The contributions are based on sound empirical research and
identify gaps and commonalities in both the existing state of the
art and state of the practice. In addition, they also offer
practical advice through many hints, checklists, and experience
reports. Questions answered in this book include: What should
companies expect from merging agile and distributed strategies?
What are the stumbling blocks that prevent companies from realizing
the benefits of the agile approach in distributed environments, and
how can we recognize infeasible strategies and unfavorable
circumstances? What helps managers cope with the challenges of
implementing agile approaches in distributed software development
projects? How can distributed teams survive the decisions taken by
management and become efficient through the application of agile
approaches?
