An Agile Approach To Managing Distributed Development
 Traditional approaches to distributed development impair flexibility: they don't expose what's actually happening on the ground in different locations, they lack common and effective communication channels, and they substitute "hope" for "managed process" when reconciling work. Distributed development should be as responsive to change as co-located teams. A program managing distributed development requires behaviors that engender agility. Three contributing factors are release cadence, transparency of activity, and lightweight communications.
