“…By maintaining a unified backlog that gets updated timely according to work progress and by maintaining a knowledge management system that can track the performance and progress of the teams about the work to be done and completed work and access to all the teams can help the teams to resolve this knowledge sharing and management issues as common data will be visible to all teams [40,[72][73][74][75][76].…”

There is an emerging interest in using agile methodologies in Global Software Development (GSD) to get the mutual benefits of both methods. Scrum is currently admired by many development teams as an agile most known methodology and considered adequate for collocated teams. At the same time, stakeholders in GSD are dispersed by geographical, temporal, and socio-cultural distances. Due to the controversial nature of Scrum and GSD, many significant challenges arise that might restrict the use of Scrum in GSD. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by following Kitchenham guidelines to identify the challenges that limit the use of Scrum in GSD and to explore the mitigation strategies adopted by practitioners to resolve the challenges. To validate our review findings, we conducted an industrial survey of 305 practitioners. The results of our study are consolidated into a research framework. The framework represents current best practices and recommendations to mitigate the identified distributed scrum challenges and is validated by five experts of distributed Scrum. Results of the expert review were found supportive, reflecting that the framework will help the stakeholders deliver sustainable products by effectively mitigating the identified challenges.

As offshoring is becoming mainstream, companies are moving towards using agile methods. Offshoring has many advantages such as reduced development cost, proximity to market and round the clock development, it has created new challenges for the application of agile practices as the teams are now distributed. Companies are adapting and modifying agile practices in order to overcome these challenges. However, little effort has been put into identifying common practices, which are being repeatedly, used to solve frequent problems in offshore development. In this research, we have studied from literature over 200 cases and have interviewed professionals participating in distributed offshore teams. Based on the observations, we have designed a solution known as Distributed Agile Patterns, which will address the common issues in offshoring scenario. Fifteen distributed agile patterns have been identified and classified into four categories based on the type of problem they solve. A reflection workshop was conducted where professionals were invited to review the pattern catalogue and help us verify and validate the catalogue. Based on their feedback, the catalogue was finalised. The purpose of the catalogue is to serve as a guideline for practitioners to use to aid them in adoption of agile practices in offshoring.INDEX TERMS Distributed agile patterns; offshore development issues

Outsourcing projects continue to grow through a more distributed and connected environment among teams from all over the globe. Due to it, many customer-vendor relationships are being formed in multi-site settings around a large-scale agile project. Companies are constantly looking for suppliers to assist and develop their complex products, although large-scale agile projects with many teams require some attention to the outsourcing project. Based on it, this study aims to conduct a systematic literature review regarding how outsourced distributed teams from large-scale agile projects are handling their operation. From 23 studies, it was possible to synthesize six distinct themes and 15 patterns of outsourcing distributed teams working in large-scale contexts.
