      ab: The article focuses on the management of global computer software development projects. The authors identify the challenges and opportunities that global software development represents. According to the article, agile project management methods, which shun the use of heavy documentation and rigidly fixed work roles, may need to be adapted to fit the geographically dispersed nature of global software development. The authors discuss the ways that projects should be structured in the initiation and execution phases. The authors identity what they term "coping strategies" to deal with project management challenges; they attempt to balance strict rigor with flexibility.
