"Over the past three years, Primavera has leveraged Agile to accelerate project lifecycles and avoid delayed deliverables, burned out developers and unsatisfied stakeholders. We worked closely with Symphony to take the benefits of Agile one step further by adapting the approach for a multi-shore environment," said Ibrahim Abdelshafi, vice president, development, Primavera Systems. "Symphony has proven that offshore Agile development is not only possible, but also measurable. Together with Symphony, we have jointly developed comprehensive metrics to help us track offshore team ramp-up from a quality, productivity and on-time delivery standpoint. That sort of accountability and innovative approach to software development makes Symphony a valuable global engineering partner." Symphony client teams leverage Agile methodologies such as XP, Scrum and DSDM to drive the efficient knowledge transfer, training, transition planning, goal setting and governance required to achieve rapid, measurable results. Symphony has also developed a set of best practices including replicating local, in-context collaboration through the use of communications tools such as desktop video conferencing, chat, blogs and wikis. The results are productive and flexible multi-shore teams and a culture of trust and accountability that encourages developers to be committed stakeholders in Global Agile processes. In a discussion with Agile Journal Publisher Editor-in-Chief Patrick Egan, Neil Fox, Client Director of Symphony Services talked about this project, about Global Agile and about some of the things that companies need to consider when extending Agile into a global development environment.
