Mastering Dual-Shore Development - The Tools and Materials Approach Adapted to Agile Offshoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software development in offshoring settings with distributed teams presents particular challenges for all participants. Process models that work well for conventional projects may have to be adapted. In this paper we present casestudy-reinforced advice on how to extend the Tools & Materials approach – a well established communication-centered agile design and development approach – to the field of dual-shore development in offshoring projects. We show how communication challenges can be tackled with common guiding and design metaphors, architecture-centric development, task assignments with component tasks and extensive quality assurance measures.
