The Importance of Robust Communication in Large - Scale Agile Development

M. Gangadharan


Abstract: The agile methodology stands out as a prevalent model for efficient software development, particularly favored for its adaptability and suitability in small - scale projects across various software industries. Nevertheless, its widespread adoption has brought to light certain communication challenges, particularly when applied to large - scale distributed teams. Agile, it appears, may not be the optimal choice for extensive teams engaged in global software development efforts. This study delves into the intricacies of issues faced by teams employing agile in the context of large - scale distributed development, particularly focusing on communication - related challenges and their repercussions. Our approach involved in - depth interviews with diverse developers and teams hailing from various sectors within the software industry. Moreover, we conducted an extensive quantitative analysis, surveying 50 developers representing different distributed teams. The outcomes of our investigation unearthed several communication - related deficiencies that significantly impact the development process. To arrive at these insights, we employed two robust statistical analysis methods: descriptive analysis and regression analysis. The implications of our findings have led us to propose innovative software solutions, bearing distinctive features engineered to mitigate the communication issues often encountered in large - scale software development. These solutions have the potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of agile practices when applied in extensive and globally dispersed development endeavors.
