To be able to understand and distinguish the different
scenario we were working with we created the mental picture
shown in figure 1.
What most people are probably interested in is the direct
transition from co-located traditional to distributed agile
development (the dotted line). However, in our opinion that
is probably a dream as it would be making too big a leap in
one single step.
The transition from co-located traditional to co-located
agile is well understood and equivalent to simply adopting an
agile development method [4]. The implications for the
practice of CM are also well understood [5].
