Abstract

Elastic Path software and Luxoft present in thiscase study a successful distributed agile project using outsourcing (both near and off shore). Elastic Pathand Luxoft are both experienced agile practitioners, which helped immensely in sofar as neither client nor vendor had to learn how to do agile while trying to overcome the difficulties in implementing agile in a distributed manner. The case study describes how Elastic Path and Luxoft overcame the challenges of daily meetings, the lack of face-to-face interactions, rapidly changing requirements, and rapid team size scaling all across a fourteen hour time difference.
