Um guia de boas práticas em desenvolvimento global de software ágil

Abstract

The Agile Software Development (ASD) plays a pivotal role in the global software development landscape. The COVID-19 pandemic has further underscored the need to adapt agile practices for remote and distributed environments, emphasizing collaboration effectiveness. This study extends prior research that identified 48 agile practices in global projects, reflecting a comprehensive endeavor to analyze and synthesize these practices. We conducted a new survey to gather a broader set of responses and carried out in-depth interviews to correlate data with constructive observations. As a result, 13 agile practices have been identified as the most widely accepted in this context. These practices, such as Planning, Communication, and Self-Management, have proven to be fundamental for the success of AGSD projects. Based on these findings, we have developed an extensive portfolio serving as a reference guide for professionals seeking to implement agile practices in global contexts. This contribution aims to enhance agile software development in global scenarios, fostering superior results and efficiency. As organizations adapt to current and future demands, AGSD stands out as a crucial approach for success in an increasingly interconnected world.
