This workshop aims to share experiences on implementing, managing and leveraging agile practices in globally distributed projects. The workshop will set the scene for an edited book on practicing agile distributed software projects published by Springer in 2010 - www.springer.com/computer/swe/book/978-3-642-12441-9. The content will be based on a combination of research and industrial presentations offered by the authors of book. Participants will engage in discussions and develop an understanding of dos and don’ts through a synergy of experiences from industrial companies.
