FEATURED PAPER
Offshore Software Project Development
and Agile® Framework
Can there be a Confluence?
By Satya Narayan Dash, PMP®, MCP®
and Uttam Kumar Singh, PMP®, PAHM®
The core tenets of Agile® Framework of software development do not synchronize well with Off-shore Development methodologies. The Agile® Manifesto advocates for collocation in place of globally distributed teams, working software in place of huge documentation, and quick response for a change instead of following a concrete project plan. However, Off-shore Development model naturally has globally distributed teams and it follows a project plan for execution.
Simultaneously, as Off-shore Development companies have adopted various models of Capability Maturity Model® – Integration (CMMI®), the development methodologies adopted are more in line with Waterfall or Iterative mode of development or some of its variants.
This paper reviews the applicability of Agile® Framework in an Off-shore Software development environment and addresses the various possibilities of its implementations via a case study driven approach.
