分布式开发是当今软件开发中的一种普遍现象。除了许多优点外，过去十年的研究一直发现，分发对一般的协作有负面影响，特别是通信延迟和完成任务的时间。需要适应的流程、实践和工具来克服这些挑战。我们报告的沟通结构和IBM的分布式开发项目爵士延迟的实证研究。Jazz项目明确地关注分布式协作，并调整了流程和工具来克服已知的挑战。我们探讨了距离对沟通和任务完成时间的影响，并使用社会网络分析来了解Jazz项目中的协作。我们讨论我们的研究结果，在现有的文献中分布式协作和延迟。版权所有© 2008约翰威利父子有限公司。
Nowadays, distributed development is common in software development. Besides many advantages, research in the last decade has consistently found that distribution has a negative impact on collaboration in general, and communication delay and time to complete tasks in particular. Adapted processes, practices, and tools are demanded to overcome these challenges. We report on an empirical study of communication structures and delay in IBM's distributed development project Jazz. The Jazz project explicitly focuses on distributed collaboration and has adapted processes and tools to overcome known challenges. We explore the effect of distance on communication and task completion time and use social network analysis to obtain insights about the collaboration in the Jazz project. We discuss our findings in the light of existing literature on distributed collaboration and delays. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
