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.

There's no question that "agile" is the buzzword of the times for software developers, ISVs, consultants, and businesses, in general. As with most buzzwords, the term is often over-used and mis-used, especially by those trying to portray their products or services in a new light. In the world of software development, the term "agile" is applied to a wide variety of processes, techniques, tools, projects, and phases of the development life cycle. It's important, therefore, to set out some basic definitions and context for the use of the term "agile," especially as it will be used in articles throughout this journal.
