Abstract

The software development approaches that constitute 'agile methods' have forced a paradigm shift in the mechanics and management of software development. We use the word paradigm shift because agile methods have resulted in what is essentially an epochal change. The four values and twelve principles espoused in the agile manifesto that was published in 2001 challenge the conventional notions of how software should be developed and managed. Similarly, globalization has resulted in every software organization recognizing that it lives in a world where outsourcing and offshoring are the norm not the exception. While the traditional notions of software outsourcing for cost savings were true during and just after the dot-com bubble, the true driver for adopting these approaches is the availability and exploitability of capabilities. The relentless pursuit of efficiency has resulted in organizations trying to combine the best of agile methods and outsourcing. In this paper, we explore how three Indian software organizations have adopted agile methods in the context of global software development.
