Globally distributed software development (GSD) and agile methods
are two current and important trends in software and systems engineering.
While agile methods seem to cope well with increasingly changing business
environments, it is far from obvious how these light-weight processes can best
contribute to GSD. In this paper, method rationale is proposed as an analytical
tool to understand the values that underpin agile methods and how these map to
the GSD domain. Specifically, the paper presents an initial analysis of the
values and goals embraced by the ‘agile manifesto’ and compares briefly with
partial results from an ongoing study on the use of agile methods in GSD.
