and vendor firms. Several scholars have highlighted how agile methods could be customized to<br />
per<strong>for</strong>m optimally in the context <strong>of</strong> globally distributed s<strong>of</strong>tware development.<br />
Although agile methodologies and GSD have received research attention, empirical studies<br />
useful <strong>for</strong> statistical generalizability have been much less. As such more studies are required to<br />
provide recommendations to overcome the governance and process issues which can directly<br />
influence the per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> global projects are much less. Empirical studies identifying<br />
different dimensions <strong>of</strong> GSD-agile fit are not well developed conceptually as also suggested by<br />
previous reviews in this context (Dyba and Dingosyr, 2008).<br />
In the back drop <strong>of</strong> the growing interest to adopt agile methods in global s<strong>of</strong>tware development,<br />
this research seeks to understand the fit between project characteristics and the agile<br />
methodologies and how the fit impacts project outcomes. This will involve the following specific<br />
sub-objectives: (i) understand what characteristics <strong>of</strong> global s<strong>of</strong>tware development projects<br />
determine the selection or choice <strong>of</strong> agile methodologies (ii) analyze how the choice <strong>of</strong> specific<br />
agile methodologies impact the project governance<br />
