Insights into an Agile Adventure with Offshore Partners

This paper is an experience report from my time working at CampusSoft in the UK. The focus is on their experiences using agile in a multi-site software development environment, spread across the UK, Romania and India. We will start by looking at the motivations behind outsourcing some of their work to India and why the relationship with their partners in India led them to try using an agile approach. We will then look at some of the approaches which were important for them to be agile and the challenges that they faced, such as communication, working practices and culture.
