3. Agility and Global Software
Engineering
 Agile methods and global software development
might seem incompatible
 Agile: Face-to-face communication
 GSE: Communication is one of the main
challenges
 Companies face decisions about whether or not to
apply agile methods
 These companies are often motivated by the
opportunities to solve the coordination and
communication difficulties associated with global
software development.
 There are reports ofsuccessful projects using
agile methods in distributed projects, however we
do not know which variables lead the team to
succeed.

4. Workshop goal
 To discuss how agile methods can
enhance productivity of distributed
projects, what are the best practices,
success cases and failure stories.
 To promote a forum for the discussion
about how agile practices can be
implemented in the context of global
software engineering.
 To promote documenting ideas and
studies about agile distributed
development.
