Leading the Agile software development in Israel, Ignite CEO, Aviram Eisenberg, was asked to speak about the challenges of Agile software development in global companies.

When Scrum was first conceived, back in 2001, distributed software development and global teams where not as common as they are today.

Aviram Eisenberg speaks at the Outsourcing Globalization Conference

Ignite — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:23:12 +0000

June 22-25th 2009

World market needs demand that software be easily localizable and adaptable to a new geographical and cultural regions. This need becomes especially crucial during global market slow-down since expansion to new markets is a proven strategy for dealing with slow or declining demand. Localization projects typically require a full-blown global delivery model, which inherently is challenging to manage. Software developers must consider a variety of ways to optimize design, architecture, development, project management, and testing processes in order to facilitate market requirements and remain adaptable to changing market conditions and business needs.

Aviram Eisenberg demonstrated, using a case study, how a distributed agile development methodology and offshore best practices can be put to work in Localization projects.
