Applying Scrum and Organizational Patterns to Multi-site Software Development

摘要

This paper describes a pattern language for managing multi-site software projects which aims at minimizing the main problems present on the multi-site software development context. The practices and patterns of the proposed language were first identified from the literature and adapted according to the authors’ experience after running some multi-site software projects. This exercise has led to the identification of two new patterns: "Stories Rework Subsystem", and "Plan Bugs On a Sustainable Pace", as well as to an alternative application of the existing "Inversion of Control" pattern to the organizational context.
