Agile practices have received attention from industry as an alternative to plan-driven software development approaches. Agile encourages e.g. small self-organized collocated teams, whilst global software engineering (GSE) implies distribution across cultural, temporal and geographical boundaries. Hence, combining them is a challenge. A systematic review was conducted to capture the status of combining agility with GSE. The results were limited to peer-reviewed conference papers or journal articles, published between 1999 and 2009. The synthesis was made through classifying the papers into different categories (e.g. publication year, contribution type, research method). At the end 81 were judged as primary for further analysis. The distribution of papers over the years indicated that GSE and Agile in combination has received more attention in the last five years. However, the majority of the existing research is industrial experience reports, in which Agile practices were modified with respect to the context and situational requirements. The emergent need in this research area is suggested to be developing a framework that considers various factors from different perspectives when incorporating Agile in GSE. Practitioners may use it as a decision-making basis in early phases of software development.

Global Software Development (GSD) is becoming increasingly prevalent, with software development teams being distributed around the world and working in collaboration with partner companies despite geographic and time differences. The main advantage of GSD which makes it attractive is the greater availability of human resources at lower costs. However, there are several disadvantages which are caused by the distance which separates the development teams. Coordination and communication become more difficult when the software development teams are located in different places, resulting in hidden costs involved in this process. As such, the effort estimation models used for collocated software development are inadequate for estimation in GSD. Thus, effort estimation in GSD is becoming an important area of research. Many researchers have focused on effort estimation in GSD over the last decade. This paper presents the findings of a systematic review of the related literature by summarizing the hidden costs in GSD, and discussing the open research issues in effort estimation in GSD.

Agile methodologies are used for developing software both in local software development (LSD) and global software development (GSD) companies because it provides extensive benefits like proper communication, customer satisfaction, close collaboration, and frequent delivery of working software etc. to these developments [1]. In this paper, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol is constructed to know about the success factors of implementing agile methodologies in LSD as well as in GSD. The result of this SLR protocol is a group of success factors which are very helpful for local and global software companies to know about importance of agile methodologies. The result of SLR protocol is also presented in this paper.
