Abstract

Today's information technology (IT) environment dictates speed, flexibility and a people-centered focus. Many of the new emerging agile software development processes accomplish these goals by calling for team collaboration in face-to-face settings. Globalization and the pressure to lower development costs have increased the utilization of virtual teams. These virtual teams represent a new organizational form that does not provide for same proximity collaboration. We propose an experiment that explores the impacts of different communication modalities in face-to-face and global virtual software development environments.
