Distributed Agile Outsourcing: Growing a Practice Together
Elastic Path and Luxoft present in this case study a successful distributed agile project using outsourcing (both near and offshore). Elastic Path and Luxoft are both experienced agile practitioners, which helped immensely insofar as neither had to learn how to do agile while trying to overcome the difficulties in implementing agile in a distributed manner. The case study describes how Elastic Path and Luxoft overcame the challenges of daily meetings, the lack of face-to-face interactions, rapidly changing requirements, and rapid team size scaling all across a fourteen hour time difference.
The co-presenters will be representing both Elastic Path and Luxoft, presenting the material and conclusions as seen through the eyes of both an outsourcing vendor and an independent software vendor. Questions will be encouraged and answered at any point and attendees will be encouraged to share their own distributed agile experiences.
