Abstract

We report on our experiences using agile practices in a global software development project. Specifically, we report on the communication and collaboration patterns that were discovered using the social network analysis methodology. We used as a case study the Global Studio Project Version 3.0, where Extreme Programming practices were applied to one of the remote software development teams. We summarize our conclusions about Extreme Programming usage in global software development projects by presenting ten lessons learned from the application of Extreme Programming practices to the Global Studio Project Version 3.0.
