World wide collaboration

July 1, 2008 by marioale

These days, many large scattered development teams work in medium to very large projects all over the world. This is what's going on for most open source project teams and with companies with geographically distributed teams.

This is the world wide collaboration development era. There's the need for a suitable collaboration software that provides the tools, ease of use and scalability that those teams demand.

At my university, we used GForge open source version ( http://gforge.org ), so I looked at GForge AS from GForge Group ( http://gforgegroup.com ) when I joined my current company in Argentina. They have the older open source version and two newer versions, the free Express Edition and the full Advanced Server. This is an enterprise-grade collaborative development management software, brought by the same people that created SourceForge and GForge open source.

Choice of Agile Product Development Model

January 9, 2008 by vsoundar

I often wonder what kind of software product/project is a best-fit for Agile development model. While the answer lies somewhere in the product architecture, customer feedback loop, team structure, geographical distribution of teams and various other aspects, I am starting to realize that the "Delivery Channel and Mechanism" will actually provide a good decision box to start the algorithm. "Ends justify the Means" seems very appropriate here.
