Experiential Learning (EL) is an approach to teaching that emphasizes learning by doing. It can potentially enhance student engagement and, therefore, learning in GSE courses. In this paper, we present our findings based on student reflections about their first experience of virtual collaboration with a guest lecturer in a GSE course. In particular, we report on the challenges and learnings for students during this virtual meeting where they reflect on the importance of a pre-established relationship with the facilitator in cross-site communication. We compare our findings from student reflections with those shared by practitioners in our previous study about the challenges of distributed collaboration. We observed that both students and practitioners consider trust, goodwill, and a good relationship as important aspects in distributed communication and collaboration. Furthermore, we highlight that participating in even a single virtual meeting can help the students experience some of the challenges in GSE. We also provide the implications of such student experiences for the educators planning future GSE courses.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129448267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Software development companies are no exception, and have attempted to join the global market so as to be able to hire labor in other countries in an attempt to reduce costs, increase productivity and gain competitive advantages. This is known as Global Software Development (GSD). Those companies that wish to carry out this practice require developers who possess the knowledge and skills required to solve problems that arise as a result of geographical, temporal and cultural distance. Traditional methods for teaching students or employees how to work in GSD environments are usually expensive, and require much effort. Serious games could, therefore, play a key role in this process, as they are educational games that allow the acquisition of knowledge and skills at a low cost. This paper presents a serious game called \"GSDgame\" with which some of the competencies needed in GSD can be acquired. The game simulates scenarios that usually occur in the overall development of a software project, thus enabling the user to become aware of the problems concerning GSD and gain some experience in solving these problems. Finally, we present the validation and testing developed by experts in serious games by means of an SG-based quality model.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130447292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the dynamics of software teams can be seen as highly important to successful project execution. Hence, for future project managers, knowledge about non-technical processes in teams is significant. In this paper, we present a course unit that provides an environment in which students can learn and experience the role of different communication patterns in distributed agile software development. In particular, students gain awareness about the importance of communication by experiencing the impact of limitations of communication channels and the effects on collaboration and team performance. The course unit presented uses the controlled experiment instrument to provide the basic organization of a small software project carried out in virtual teams. We provide a detailed design of the course unit to allow for implementation in further courses. Furthermore, we provide experiences obtained from implementing this course unit with 16 graduate students. We observed students struggling with technical aspects and team coordination in general, while not realizing the importance of communication channels (or their absence). Furthermore, we could show the students that lacking communication protocols impact team coordination and performance regardless of the communication channels used.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129108984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though these phases normally require customer availability on-site, this type of involvement might be difficult with globally distributed projects where customer's location is different from team members' location. The traditional methods of customer involvement in distributed agile projects such as using the rich communication technologies (e.g. video-conferencing solutions) are commonly used. The problem with these methods is that team members may not recognize how their technical work requires customer involvement. Even if they know, they might forget to inform the customer or there might be a considerable time between the need for customer involvement and the nearest meeting with him. In addition, the review of the available mechanisms of customer support in thirty-six project management tools reveals a lack of computer-based support for customer involvement. This paper presents a research in-progress which aims to support the effective management of customer involvement in distributed agile teams. It proposes computer-based process support for managing customer involvement which can improve the meaningful communication between customer and agile team and improve customers' awareness with regard to the state of activities in which he participates in.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"29 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123577974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, we have much less experience in how to scale and manage agile practices in distributed software development. Distributed and global development-that requiring attention to many technical, organizational, and cultural issues as the teams interact to cooperatively delivery the solution. Alongside, very large team sizes, teams of teams, and more complex management structures forcing additional attention to coordination and management. At this level, there is an increasing need to standardize best practices to avoid reinvention and miscommunication across artifacts and processes. Complexity issues in enterprise software delivery can have significant impact on the adoption of agile approaches. As a consequence, agile strategies will typically need to be evaluated, tailored, and perhaps combined with traditional approaches to suit the particular context. The characteristics of software products and software development processes open up new possibilities that are different from those offered in other domains to achieve leanness and flexibility. Whilst Lean principles are universal, a further understanding of the techniques required to apply such principles from a software development angle. Thus, the aim of this research is to identify, how can combination of Lean and Agile practices facilitate to scale and manage distributed software development.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133062746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Messages were collected from three software development projects that involved students from two different countries. The similarities and quantities of such interactions were then analyzed and compared. Results from this analysis show a statistically significant correlation of linguistic characteristics (LSM) and Information Exchange Similarity with Task cohesion, when controlled by culture. In addition, the study found that quantity-based metrics had higher correlations with students' perceptions of their group's cohesiveness than similarity-based measures. More specifically, a word-based measure called Information Exchange Rate had a significant relationship to cohesion. Group rate measures were also tested, but only low significant correlations were found. These results suggest that measures based on quantity of interactions tend to be better predictors of cohesion within distributed learning teams.","PeriodicalId":207379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 11th International Conference on Global Software Engineering Workshops (ICGSEW)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123662275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
