Using Horizontal Displays for Distributed and Collocated Agile Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer-supported environments for agile project planning are often limited by the capability of the hardware to support collaborative work. We present DAP, a tool developed to aid distributed and collocated teams in agile planning meetings. Designed with a multi-client architecture, it works on standard desktop computers and digital tables. Using digital tables, DAP emulates index card based planning without requiring team members to be in

Using Digital Tabletops to Support Distributed Agile Planning Meetings
Digital tabletop is an emerging technology that is being increasingly used to support group activities. Agile Planner for Digital Tabletops (APDT) is a tool that was built to support agile planning meetings. It provides interactions similar to those used in traditional pen-and-paper meetings. Previous versions of APDT were only capable of handling collocated planning meetings. In this paper, we...
متن کاملAPDT: An Agile Planning Tool for Digital Tabletops
This paper presents Agile Planner for Digital Tabletops (APDT) as a tool that facilitates agile planning meetings using large horizontal displays. Utilizing APDT on a reasonably sized digital tabletop allows collaborators to create, edit, move, rotate, toss and delete index cards just like they would do with paper artifacts. APDT provides a multimodal input system that supports gesture-, handwr...
متن کاملCommunication and Quality in Distributed Agile Development: An Empirical Case Study
Through inward perceptions, we intuitively expect distributed software development to increase the risks associated with achieving cost, schedule, and quality goals. To compound this problem, agile software development (ASD) insists one of the main ingredients of its success is cohesive communication attributed to collocation of the development team. The following study identified the degree of...
متن کاملEmbodiments for Mixed Presence Groupware
Large surfaces such as tabletop and whiteboard displays naturally afford collocated collaboration, where multiple people work together over the shared workspace. As large digital displays become more ubiquitous, it becomes increasingly important to examine their role in supporting groups of distributed collaborators working over the digital work surface. In particular, Mixed Presence Groupware ...
متن کاملExploring the Efficacy of Distributed Pair Programming
Pair programming is one of the twelve practices of Extreme Programming (XP) [1]. Pair programming is usually performed by programmers who are collocatedworking in front of the same monitor. But the inevitability of distributed development of software gives rise to important questions: How effective is pair programming if the pairs are not physically next to each other? What if the programmers ...
