• Agile India (Offshore Development) | Agile Software Development Made Easy!

  "I can see clearly how an offshore development team in India might operate internally using agile principles and practices. But I'm very unsure about how it would work effectively in terms of (a) active user involvement in the development process, (b) defining lightweight requirements piecemeal throughout development, (c) integrated testing, etc.
  
  Perhaps the challenges are no different than for a distributed team? But when I think of the added complexity of a distributed team, the added complexity of client/supplier relations, the added complexity of distance (preventing regular face-to-face communication), and timezones inhibiting other forms of communication, I worry."
