“…Newer code compilers allow multiple programmers to edit at the same time [49,50]. This style of work, also known as distributed pair programming, can be unstructured and breaks away from the strict driver-navigator role-play [51].…”

With the availability of cloud-based software, ubiquitous internet and advanced digital modeling capabilities, a new potential has emerged to design physical products with methods previously embraced by the software engineering community. One such example is pair programming, where two coders work together synchronously to develop one piece of code. Pair programming has been shown to lead to higher quality code and designer satisfaction. Cutting-edge collaborative Computer-aided Design (CAD) technology affords the possibility to apply synchronous collaborative access in mechanical design. We test the generalizability of findings from the pair programming literature to the same dyadic configuration of work in CAD, which we call pair CAD. We performed human subject experiments with 60 participants to test three working styles: individuals working by themselves, pairs sharing control of one model instance and input, and pairs able to edit the same model simultaneously from two inputs. We compare the working styles on speed and quality, and propose mechanisms for our observations via interpretation of patterns of communication, satisfaction, and user cursor activity. We find that on a per-person basis, individuals were faster than pairs due to coordination and overhead inefficiencies. We find that pair work, when done with a single shared input, but not in a parallel mode, leads to higher quality models. We conclude that it is not Industry 4.0 technologies alone that influence designer output; choices regarding work process have a major effect on design outcomes, and we can tailor our process to suit project requirements.

“…The practices, such as daily meetings, plannings and pair programming, adopted in distributed teams are adapted [36], [37] so that the teams can deal with the challenges of the GSD. Face-to-face meetings and pair programming, for example, are not possible to be implemented the way they are defined, as members are in different locations, as well as possibly different time zones [38]. In this way, it is up to the teams to carefully select different asynchronous and synchronous communication tools for the implementation of these practices [33], [39], [40].…”

“…Regarding the extension of the AGSD SLR [2], our study added the year 2020. This extension selected 10 new papers based on the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as [2], adding up to 86 papers in total [7], [31]- [33], [35], [36], [38]- [40], [42]- [44], [51], [55], [58]- [119]. Then, the scaled data selection was conducted considering these 86 articles.…”

Toward Unveiling How SAFe Framework Supports Agile in Global Software Development

Current research has shown that global software development (GSD) organizations rely on agile methods to guarantee better communication, coordination, and improved productivity. Moreover, as organizations continue to grow, they are facing large-scale global project challenges and complexity, leading to an urge to scale agile practices for better coordination. However, it has been surprising to find that approaches in the literature on scaling agile for large and global projects remain unclear. In addition, to identify and highlight which agile scales practices reported in studies on Agile GSD (AGSD) are related to SAFe practices, we conducted a systematic literature review. In addition, we mapped AGSD practices to the SAFe 5.0 framework to provide bases for those starting on such a journey. In our study, we found 24 articles related to the scaling of agile practices in a global environment, and 44 scaling agile practices that embrace 95 SAFe 5.0 components, including "agile coaching," "agile architecture," and "system demo". This study provides an in-depth scientific investigation on how SAFe can be associated with global teams applying GSD. The results and findings will benefit researchers and practitioners in conducting further research and provide more dedicated solutions for challenges to scaling agile in the context of GSD.
