Welcome to the second issue of the Agile Journal. This month, we explore the many challenges Agile teams face in running globally distributed development projects.

Globally distributed development can include all/any of the following:

• Teams with developers, testers, users and/or other team members working at more than one location.
• Teams engaging with third-party partners -consultants, vendors, even customers - to deliver business applications.
• Teams that must incorporate a number of different styles (cultural, technical, management, etc.) across their distributed locations.

Most books on the subject of Agile development discuss principles and practices related to planning and development practices. Yet few Agile books delve deeply into the How To's of collaboration, facilitation and project leadership. Collaboration Explained, by Jean Tabaka, does exactly this: it takes the essential skills, methods, and proven practices of successful team leaders and group facilitators, and explains them in detail while also applying them directly to the context of agile software development.
