Globally distributed development can include all/any of the following:
Each of these types of distributed projects poses a new set of issues to the already challenging Agile team. Many teams include all three! In this issue, our contributors provide a range interesting perspectives and valuable practices for delivering globally distributed development projects. I'll start the issue with some common scenarios that I see driving offshore Agile development projects (and no, that is not an oxymoron). Kevin Parker discusses the intensity of collaborating and communicating with a development team that spans all 24 hour time zones. Dean Leffingwell completes his "7+7 Agile Practices For Enterprise Agility" article with seven best practices that help achieve agility at the enterprise level. Ross Pettit presents an agile approach to managing distributed development that provides operational flexibility in even the most complex delivery programs. Brent Carlson shares his company's experiences for product development with an offshore partner. And Adam Finder offers both principles and best practices necessary to support an offshore Agile environment. As always, keep your feedback coming! How do you run your distributed projects? What are your greatest challenges? We're always looking for input for future issue topics and themes, and for general areas of interest.
