Agile Developmt- XP and Scrum

Agile Developmet is the defacto way of developing software for small business in my view. Heavy duty modeling and CMMI compliance is good but may not be practical for small development teams.

There are couple of things to consider if you are working on an agile development, if some of your team are out-sourced to India and Romania. How do you keep the communication open and yet get development done a reasonable pace.
The answer to this is to adopt SCRUM methodology and use a tool such as JIRI and Ontract Software Development tools.

More on this later.
