3Xebia OneTeam Since 2006, Xebia (Netherlands) started localizedprojects with half Dutch and half Indian teammembers. After establishing localized hyperproductivity, theymove the Indian members of the team to India andshow increasing velocity with fully distributed teams. After running XP engineering practices inside manydistributed Scrum projects, Xebia has systematicallyproductized a model similar to the SirsiDynix modelfor high performance, distributed, offshore teams withlinear scalability and outstanding quality. 1993-2008 Jeff Sutherland v8.5

Outsourcing What happens if you outsource 2M of development?– Industry data show 20% cost savings on average Outsourcing from PatientKeeper to Indian waterfallteam:– Two years of data showed breakeven point occurs whenIndian developer costs 10% of American Scrum developer– Actual Indian cost is 30% 2M of Scrum development at my company costs 6M when outsourced to waterfall teams Never outsource to waterfall teams.

Should we look at excellentScrum teams? Often extreme data points are not sustainable. The most productive team ever recorded at Borlandproduced a failed product. The most productive distributed team (SirsiDynix)had quality problems, management problems, andinternal company conflicts that caused the product tobe killed. The second most productive team in the world(Motorola - David Anderson data) was overwhelmedwith bureaucracy, completely demotivated, theirproduct was killed, and the team died a painful death. Jeff Sutherland 1993-2007
11SirsiDynix Challenges ScrumButt Builds were stable only at Sprint boundaries ScrumMasters, Product Owners, and Architects onlyin U.S. No XP in U.S, only in Russia No face to face meetings Low test coverage Poor refactoring practice Did not have equal talent across teams Company merger created competitive products Sirsi now owned Dynix and killed Dynix product 1993-2008 Jeff Sutherland v8.2
12Research Issue SirsiDynix was a retrospective study of a single datapoint Even if quality was perfect, it does not prove anyoneelse can do it. Even worse, if you observe a finding after the fact,you cannot infer causality Is SirsiDynix a lucky accident? Or maybe an unluckyaccident? 1993-2008 Jeff Sutherland v8.5
13We needed a prospective study Define the distributed team model before projectsstart Assure consistent talent, tools, process, andorganization across geographies Establish high quality data gathering techniques onvelocity, quality, cost and environmental factors. Run a consistent team model on a series of projectsand look for comparable results Demonstrate that local velocity distributed velocity Demonstrate that local quality distributed quality Demonstrate linear scaling at constant velocity perdeveloper 1993-2008 Jeff Sutherland v8.5
