This article explores how agile practices can reduce three kinds of “distance” – temporal, geographical, and sociocultural – in global software development (GSD). On the basis of two in-depth case studies, specific Scrum and eXtreme Programming (XP) practices are found to be useful for reducing communication, coordination, and control problems that have been associated with GSD.
