A SCRUM-Based Process to Distributed Projects in Multidisciplinary Teams: A Case Study

It is a usual practice for software companies to develop their products using Distributed Software Development (DSD). Moreover, many times the software companies work with multidisciplinary teams to satisfy their customer demands. These multidisciplinary teams are composed of IT professionals and professionals from multiple areas not related to software development or IT. There are several problems associated with communication and information dissemination that severely compromise the software product development. This work presents a case study of a company that uses DSD. The Scrum-based process shown in this work promotes a communication improvement between the client company functional areas.
