What is Do agile GSD experience reports help the practitioner? about?

Agile software development has steadily gained momentum and acceptability as a viable approach to software development. As software development continues to take advantage of the global market, agile methods are also being attempted in geographically distributed settings. In this paper, the authors discuss the usefulness of published research on agile global software development for the practitioner. It is contended that such published work is of minimal value to the practitioner and does not add anything to the guidance available before the existence of current agile methods. A survey of agile GSD related publications, from XP/Agile conferences between 2001 and 2005, is used to support this claim. The paper ends with a number of proposals which aim to improve the usefulness of future agile GSD research and experience.
