Improvement of “the new agile process for distributed projects”

Abstract

Over the last decades more and more software development companies transfer at least a part of their development process to the so-called offshore countries. To increase the productivity of these projects “the new agile process for distributed projects” was invented. The research question of this work is how “the new agile process for distributed projects” can be improved. This research uses a case study methodology to identify waste and gaps in the process. Studies of other processes, conducted mainly by literature review, are used to fulfill the identified gaps. As a result of the research several improvements were proposed and questions for the future research were identified.
