“…AGSD has drawn researchers' attention because of the added complexity of combining agüe and GSD [7], as informal and spontaneous Communications plays a significant role in agüe software development [7,8]. Shrivastava [9] pointed out that one of the potential risks for distributed agüe projects is the lack of communication between the team members, which could be addressed through team members' use of tools, such as video conferencing and desktop sharing; and the use of scrum-of-scrum meetings between teams and the use of tools that support formal and non-verbal communication. The lack of communication infrastructure could be addressed by providing the team with múltiple rich sources of communication.…”

“…The automation of data gathering from software under development was provided by Hudson, 8 a continuous integration server, and Maven. 9 By using Hudson in combination with Maven, the Serum Team was not in charge of the data-gathering process. Whenever the centralized repository was updated, Hudson launched a process to build the source code, perform code analysis and present reports to the Serum Team.…”

“…Communication problems in AGSD have also been broadly addressed in the literature [4,6,7], which has shown that distributed teams, particularly agile teams, strongly depend on tools for communication [4,7,8]. Although the optimal technological tool for supporting efficient communication in AGSD has been explored in several studies, it is still an unresolved issue [1,4,[7][8][9].…”

Keywords:Global Distributed Software Development Agüe Exploratory research Tools and technologies Infrastructure Global software development (GSD) is gaining ever more relevance. Although communication is key in the exchange of information between team members, multi-site software development has introduced additional obstacles (different time-zones and cultures, IT infrastructure, etc.) and delays into the act of communication, which is already problematic. Communication is even more critical in the case of Agile Global Software Development (AGSD) in which communication plays a primary role. This paper reports an exploratory study of the effects of tools supporting communication in AGSD. More precisely, this paper analyses the perception of team members about communication infrastructures in AGSD. The research question to which this study responds concerns how development teams perceive the communication infrastructure while developing products using agile methodologies. Most previous studies have dealt with communication support from a highly technological media tool perspective. In this research work, instead, observations were obtained from three perspectives: communication among team members, communication of the status of the development process, and communication of the status of the progress of the product under development. It has been possible to show that team members perceive advantages to using media tools that make them feel in practice that teams are co-located, such as smartboards supported by effident video-tools, and combining media tools with centralized repository tools, with information from the process development and product characteristics, that allow distributed teams to effectively share information about the status of the project/process/product during the development process in order to overeóme some of the still existing problems in communication in AGSD.

Abstract-This paper discusses the roles of communication and coordination (C&C) in the agile teams. C&C are important activities that a project manager has to deal with tactically during the development of software projects to avoid the consequences. Their importance further increases especially in case of distributed software development (DSD). C&C are considered as project drivers to accomplish a project successfully within budget and schedule. There are several issues associated to poor C&C those can lead to fail software projects such as budget deficit, delay in delivery, conflicts among team members, unclear goals of project and architectural, technical and integration dependencies. C&C issues are critical and vital for collocated teams but their presences in distributed teams are disastrous. Scrum is one of the most widely practiced agile models and it is gaining further popularity in the agile community. Therefore, a novel framework is proposed to address the issues that are associated to C&C using Scrum methodology. The proposed framework is validated through a questionnaire. The results are found supportive to reflect that it will help to resolve the C&C issues effectively and efficiently.
