Abstract

The Global Teaming Model (GTM) is a CMMI (R)-style process model comprising 64 recommendations that synthesizes empirical evidence on how to overcome the obstacles faced by global software development projects. While the Global Teaming Model recommendations specify what a global software development project should do, it does not specify how. In order to provide concrete guidance for projects that wish to employ Agile methods in a global software development context, we asked, could the practices described in the Scaled Agile Framework (R) (SAFe (R)) provide examples for how GTM recommendations could be realized? We found 79 of 90 SAFe (R) Team level practices partly or wholly implement GTM recommendations. The SAFe (R) mapping onto the Global Teaming model provides a concrete roadmap for teams who need specific advice on how to implement GTM practices that have been identified as necessary to their success.
