Both authors of this paper have more than a decade of
experience with agile development (XP and Scrum) in
academic as well as in industrial contexts. However, they
have little or marginal experience with distributed
development and were curious to look into how agile
changes under distribution. Furthermore, both authors are
experts in Configuration Management (CM) and were
particularly interested in understanding how the practice of
CM will change from co-located agile to distributed agile –
and what new things CM could offer to provide support in a
distributed agile setting.
