In this presentation we will examine how geographically distributed teams can improve software production processes through asset reuse, shared infrastructure and resources, and repeatable processes. We'll focus on the impact of distributed development on the back-end processes that follow check-in of new code: the build, package, test, and deploy tasks that are often the bottleneck to timely and efficient project completion.
