Description

Agile Software Development and the breed of Agile Methodologies (XP, SCRUM, DSDM, etc.) have gained popularity since 2001. Primarily founded as methodologies for software projects executed at a single location, Agile Methodologies have started showing promising results in multi-site projects too with many adopters and practitioners across the globe. For more than two decades, offshore delivery models have been successful in case of application maintenance and enhancement projects. In case of development projects iterative lifecycle approaches have gained familiarity and acceptability compared to the classical waterfall approach in delivering results and ensuring customer satisfaction. Agile Software Development focuses on early delivery of working software to measure the progress of projects and hence to mitigate risks. It creates an environment that responds to changes by means of being flexible and nimble. It discourages creation of extensive documents that do not add any value to the customer. Distributed Agile Software Development and Testing is nothing but applying Agile Principles and Practices to software projects executed by teams located across geographies. This paper is based on our experience in executing Outsourced Product Development & Testing engagements using Distributed Agile practices. This paper presents Critical Success Factors that need to be considered while implementing Agile Software Development and Testing across distributed teams.
