Abstract :
Agile practices are arguably improving the productivity of small, co-located software development teams. We describe an approach that tries to overcome the constraint of co-location by introducing a process-support environment (called MILOS) that helps software development teams to maintain adaptive practices in a distributed setting. MILOS supports project coordination, information routing, team communication, pair programming and experience management.
