Abstract :
This paper presents review of literature on global software development “G.S.D” and the use of agile methodologies in GSD. Three major themes were identified from extant literature on GSD: performance of global software development, governance related issues and software engineering process related issues. Further analysis of literature on agile methods and GSD showed that repertoire of methodologies spanning the various types of agile methods were applied related to agile methods that could be spliced or combined and tailored appropriately to produce optimal performance in the context of GSD. However, empirical studies addressing GSD-Agile fit were not found and as such require more attention in future studies.
