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.

Scrum is one of the most widely used Agile processes in the US and around the world. Why is this? First of all, Scrum is easy to adopt because it makes sense to development teams and empowers them to deliver value through software products. And, it's also a very practical approach in that it does not prescribe specific development techniques and so it can be adopted by companies with a range of legacy processes and tools in place. From software vendors to corporate IT organizations to offshore consultancies, teams using Scrum are successful in delivering valuable software faster.
